AP-1 Imprints a Reversible Transcriptional Programme of Senescent Cells

ABSTRACT: Senescent cells affect many physiological and pathophysiological processes. While select genetic and epigenetic elements for senescence induction have been identified, the dynamics, epigenetic mechanisms and regulatory networks defining senescence competence, induction and maintenance remain poorly understood, precluding the deliberate therapeutic targeting of senescence for health benefits. Here, we examined the possibility that the epigenetic state of enhancers determines senescent cell fate. We explored this by generating time-resolved transcriptomes and epigenome profiles during oncogenic RAS-induced senescence and validating central findings in different cell biology and disease models of senescence. Through integrative analysis and functional validation, we reveal links between enhancer chromatin, transcription factor recruitment and senescence competence. We demonstrate that activator protein 1 (AP-1) 'pioneers' the senescence enhancer landscape and defines the organizational principles of the transcription factor network that drives the transcriptional programme of senescent cells. Together, our findings enabled us to manipulate the senescence phenotype with potential therapeutic implications.

Mammalian cells acquire epigenetic hallmarks of human cancer during immortalization

Project description:Progression to malignancy requires cells to overcome senescence and switch to an immortal phenotype. Thus, exploring the genetic and epigenetic changes that occur during senescence/immortalization may help elucidate crucial events that lead to cell transformation. In the present study, we have globally profiled DNA methylation in relation to gene expression in primary, senescent and immortalized mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Primary, senescent and immortalized mouse fibroblasts obtained from three independent embryos. Compare immortalized versus primary and senescent versus primary cells.

Histone acetyltransferase p300 induces de novo super-enhancers to drive cellular senescence [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Cellular senescence is a state of stable proliferative arrest induced by stress and is associated with a pro-inflammatory program. Senescent cells have anti-tumorigenic properties, however, their accumulation during aging contributes to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases. While senescence is associated with profound alterations of the epigenome, a systematic view of epigenetic factors in regulating senescence is lacking. Here, we curated a library of short hairpin RNAs for targeted silencing of all known epigenetic factors and performed a high-throughput loss-of-function screen to identify epigenetic proteins whose downregulation can delay replicative senescence of primary human cells. This screen identified multiple new players regulating senescence, including the histone acetyltransferase p300 that was found to be a primary driver of the senescent phenotype. p300, but not the paralogous CBP, induces a dynamic hyper-acetylated chromatin state in senescence and promotes the formation of active enhancer elements in the non-coding genome, leading to a senescence-specific gene expression program. Our work illustrates a causal role of histone acetyltransferases and acetylation in senescence, and suggests p300 as a potential therapeutic target for senescence and age-related diseases.
