Project description:Cellular senescence due to telomere dysfunction has been hypothesized to play a role in age-associated diseases including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It has been postulated that paracrine mediators originating from senescent alveolar epithelia signal to surrounding mesenchymal cells and contribute to disease pathogenesis. However, murine models of telomere-induced alveolar epithelial senescence fail to display the canonical senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that is observed in senescent human cells. In an effort to understand human-specific responses to telomere dysfunction, we modelled telomere dysfunction-induced senescence in a human alveolar epithelial cell line. We hypothesized that this system would enable us to probe for differences in transcriptional and proteomic senescence pathways in vitro and to identify novel secreted protein (secretome) changes that potentially contribute to the pathogenesis of IPF. Following induction of telomere dysfunction, a robust senescence phenotype was observed. RNA-Seq analysis of the senescent cells revealed the SASP and comparisons to previous murine data highlighted species-specific responses to telomere dysfunction. We then conducted a proteomic analysis of the senescent cells using a novel biotin ligase capable of labeling secreted proteins. Candidate biomarkers selected from our transcriptional and secretome data were then evaluated in IPF and control patient plasma. Four novel proteins were found to be differentially expressed between the patient groups: stanniocalcin-1, contactin-1, tenascin C, and total inhibin. Our data show that human telomere-induced, alveolar epithelial senescence results in a transcriptional SASP that is distinct from that seen in analogous murine cells. Our findings suggest that studies in animal models should be carefully validated given the species-specific responses to telomere dysfunction. We also describe a pragmatic approach for the study of the consequences of telomere-induced alveolar epithelial cell senescence in humans.

Project description:Accelerated senescence in lung epithelial cells is known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the exact mechanisms underlying the IPF-related epithelial cell phenotype have yet to be elucidated. Increasing evidence supports the concept that extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, mediate intercellular communication that contributes to diverse aspects of physiology and pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that lung fibroblasts (LFs) from IPF patients accelerate epithelial cell senescence via EV-mediated transfer of LF-derived pathogenic cargo to lung epithelial cells. Mechanistically, IPF LF-derived EVs increase mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and associated mitochondrial damage in lung epithelial cells, leading to mtROS-mediated activation of the DNA damage response and subsequent epithelial cell senescence. We show that IPF LF-derived EVs contain elevated levels of miR-23b-3p and miR-494-3p that are responsible for suppressing SIRT3, resulting in the EV-induced phenotypic changes of lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, we observe that miR-23b-3p and miR-494-3p expression increases in lung epithelial cells from IPF patients’ lungs. Finally, the levels of miR-23b-3p and 494-3p found in IPF LF-derived EVs correlate positively with IPF disease severity. These findings reveal that the accelerated epithelial cell mitochondrial damage and senescence observed during IPF pathogenesis are caused by a novel mechanism in which SIRT3 is suppressed by miR-containing EVs derived from IPF fibroblasts.

Project description:Lung cancer is a fatal complication of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with a poor prognosis. Current treatments are insufficient in improving the prognosis of lung cancer patients with comorbid idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF-LC). Senescent fibroblasts play a pivotal role within the tumor microenvironment, influencing tumor progression by secreted exosomes. With evidence that fibroblast senescence is an important mechanism of IPF, we sought to investigate the impact of senescent IPF lung fibroblast-derived exosomes on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Our results show that IPF fibroblasts (diseased human lung fibroblasts, DHLF) express significant senescence markers, promoting NSCLC proliferation, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Specifically, we observed senescent DHLFs secret more exosomes (DHLF-exosomes), which could enhance proliferation and colony-forming ability of cancer cells. Proteomic analysis of DHLF-exosomes identified upregulation of SASP factors, notably MMP1, which activates the surface receptor PAR1. Knocking down MMP1 or using PAR1 inhibitors reduced the tumor-promoting effects of DHLF-exosomes in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, MMP1 acted via activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. In conclusion, our results suggest that exosomal MMP1 derived from senescent IPF fibroblasts promotes NSCLC proliferation and colony formation by targeting PAR1 and activating the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway. These findings provide a novel therapeutic approach for patients with IPF-LC.

Project description:Recent publications have implicated senescent alveolar epithelial cells as the cause of lung remodeling and fibrosis. We sought to better understand the heterogeneity in the basal epithelial cell population, especially with regards to characterizing senescent alveolar epithelial cells. The basal cell cultures contain a portion of cells that display a senescent phenotype and stain for a marker of senescence. We also sought to understanding the heterogeneity in the fibroblast population. Primary fibroblast cultures stained with myofibroblast markers show that only a portion of the cells are positive for ACTA2, suggesting that there are at least two distinct populations in this particular cell type. The diversity in this cell type remains uncharacterized at this point.

Project description:The p53 protein is a cell-autonomous tumor suppressor that restricts malignant transformation by triggering cell cycle exit or apoptosis. p53 also promotes cellular senescence, a program that triggers a stable cell cycle arrest and can modify the tissue microenvironment through its effect on cell membrane and secretory proteins. Here we show that specific ablation of p53 in hepatic stellate cells, which undergo a process of proliferation and senescence in the fibrogenic response to liver damage, enhances liver cirrhosis, reduces survival and increases the malignant transformation of adjacent epithelial cells into hepatocellular carcinoma. This p53-dependent senescence program involves the release of secreted proteins which skew macrophages into a tumor-inhibiting M1-state that can eliminate senescent stellate cells. In contrast, p53-deficient stellate cells secrete factors that promote M2 polarization, which is pro-tumorigenic. Our study reveals that p53 can exert a non-cell-autonomous tumor suppressor response and suggests that this occurs, in part, by its ability to influence macrophage polarization. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying p53-dependent senescent and identified distinct classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes during this process. Proliferating and senescent stellate cell pellets were collected RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:Altered DNA methylation and associated destabilization of genome integrity and function is a hallmark of cancer. Replicative senescence imposes a limit on proliferative potential that all cancer cells must bypass. Compared to proliferating cells, senescent cells exhibit marked chromatin re-organization. Here we show by whole-genome single-nucleotide bisulfite sequencing that replicative senescent human cells exhibit widespread alterations in their DNA methylome. These changes are linked to mislocalization of the maintenance DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) in cells approaching senescence, altered replication-coupled DNA methylation and de-repression of repetitive satellite sequences. Deficiency of DNMT1 triggers chromatin changes characteristic of senescence and expression of satellite sequences. Most importantly, but paradoxically, gains and losses of methylation in replicative senescence are similar to those in cancer, and this M-bM-^@M-^XreprogrammedM-bM-^@M-^Y methylation landscape is largely retained when cells escape or bypass senescence. In sum, altered regulation of DNMT1 in cells approaching replicative senescence contributes to changes in chromatin structure and function. Consequently, if senescent cells escape the proliferative barrier, they already harbor epigenetic changes likely to promote malignancy. Examination of methylation status in IMR90 cells

Project description:Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by devastating and progressive lung parenchymal fibrosis with poor prognosis. An aberrant recapitulation of lung developmental genes including transforming growth factor (TGF)-β and WNT has been widely implicated in the abnormal wound healing process following repetitive alveolar epithelial injury during IPF pathogenesis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) including exosomes and microvesicles have been shown to carry various bioactive molecules and are involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes. Here, we demonstrate that human bronchial epithelial cell-derived EVs (HBEC EVs) inhibited TGF-β-induced both myofibroblast differentiation and lung epithelial cellular senescence through attenuating WNT signaling. To ask how HBEC-EVs inhibited TGF-β-induced both myofibroblast differentiation and lung epithelial cellular senescence through attenuating WNT signaling, miRNA RNA-seq of HBEC-EVs was performed.
