Project description:We studied the changes that occur in gene transcription during seasonal senescence in Populus trichocarpa pioneer leaves and fine roots. Plant senescence is a strictly regulated physiological process that allows relocating of valuable nutrients from senescent tissues before death. It might be induced by internal or external factors and among them, phytohormones play an undoubtedly significant role. Senescence was extensively studied in leaves, but the aging of other ephemeral organs, located underground, and its drivers are still poorly understood. We focused on collective results to fill in the knowledge gap about senescence of fine, absorptive roots and leaves in order to check if there are universal mechanisms involved during plant organ senescence. Transcriptional profiling was conducted with the use of microarrays to identify genes involved in developmental PCD. Samples were collected three times during a growth season. The first collection was considered as a control and was collected in early summer (July 7–15) when leaves and the root system were fully developed and functional. The second group of leaf and root samples were harvested in early autumn (October 1–7) when chlorophyll levels in leaves had decreased by approximately 40% and when fine roots had changed in color from white to brown. The third group of samples were harvested in the middle of autumn (November 2–9) when chlorophyll levels in leaves decreased by approximately 65% and fine roots were dark brown or black color. Our results reveal the important role of phytohormones in regulating the senescence of both studied organs. The transcriptomic analyses showed significant changes in gene expression that are associated with phytohormones, especially with ABA and jasmonates. We conclude that phytohormonal regulation of senescence in roots and leaves is organ-specific. In roots, phytohormones are involved indirectly in regulation of senescence by increasing tolerance for cold or resistance for pathogens, whereas such correlation was not observed in leaves.

Project description:The profiling was conducted with the 385K Microarray manufactured at NimbleGen, Inc (http://www.nimblegen.com/) designed from 30,386 genes of Arabidopsis (TAIR v.6). RNA samples of leaves of S1 (100% green leaf from 40 days plant) and S3 (more than 50% yellow leaf) senescence stages from senescence-inducible LEC2 transgenic plant, OIL21 were subjected for analysis of Arabidopsis 385K transcriptome. Expression of 3,025 genes were significantly changed with log2 ratios greater than 1.0 or less than -1.0 in S1 or S3 stage (p value <0.05), among which 1491 were up-regulated and 1534 were down regulated. Gene annotation revealed that 7.4% genes, 223 out of 3,025 changed by LEC2 were encoded transcription factors (TF). 106 TFs were up-regulated and 115 TFs were down-regulated. A total of 9 chips were used for microarray. Total RNAs were extracted from senescence leaves at S1 and S3 stages of wild-type and senescence-inducible LEC2 transgenic Arabidopsis. Experiments were triplicated.

Project description:Decline in tissue NAD levels during aging has been linked to aging-associated diseases, such as age-related metabolic disease, physical decline, and Alzheimers disease. However, the mechanism for aging-associated NAD decline remains unclear. Here we report that pro-inflammatory M1 macrophages, but not naive or M2 macrophages, highly express the NAD consuming enzyme CD38 and have enhanced CD38-dependent NADase activity. Furthermore, we show that aging is associated with enhanced inflammation due to increased senescent cells, and the accumulation of CD38 positive M1 macrophages in visceral white adipose tissue. We also find that inflammatory cytokines found in the supernatant from senescent cells (Senescence associated secretory proteins, SASP) induces macrophages to proliferate and express CD38. As senescent cells progressively accumulate in adipose tissue during aging, these results highlight a new causal link between visceral tissue senescence and tissue NAD decline during aging and may present a novel therapeutic opportunity to maintain NAD levels during aging.

Project description:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate diverse cellular processes and are associated with many age-associated diseases. However, the function of lncRNAs in cellular senescence remains largely unknown. Here we characterize the role of lncRNA H19 in senescence. We show that H19 levels decline as cells undergo senescence, and depletion of H19 results in premature senescence. We find that repression of H19 is triggered by the loss of CTCF and prolonged activation of p53 as part of the senescence pathway. Mechanistically, the loss of H19 drives senescence via increased let7b mediated targeting of EZH2. We further demonstrate that H19 is required for senescence inhibition by the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin, where it maintains lncRNA H19 levels throughout the cellular lifespan and thus prevents the reduction of EZH2 that would otherwise lead to cellular senescence. Therefore, lncRNA H19 is crucial in maintaining the balance between sustained cell growth and the onset of senescence.

Project description:Induction of hepatocyte senescence is known to inhibit hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Until now, it has not been clear how the degree of liver injury dictates hepatocyte senescence and carcinogenesis. In this study, we investigated whether the severity of injury determines cell fate decisions between hepatocyte senescence and carcinogenesis. After testing of different degrees of liver injury, we found that hepatocyte senescence is strongly induced in the setting of severe acute liver injury. Longer-term, moderate liver injury did not result into hepatocyte senescence, but instead led to a significant incidence of HCC. In addition, carcinogenesis was significantly reduced by the induction of severe acute injury after chronic moderate liver injury. We conclude that severe acute liver injury leads to hepatocyte senescence along with a low incidence of HCC, whereas chronic moderate injury allows hepatocytes to proliferate rather than to enter into senescence, and correlates with a high incidence of HCC. This study improves our understanding in hepatocyte cell fate decisions and suggests a potential clinical strategy to induce senescence to treat HCC.

Project description:Leaf senescence is the final developmental process that includes the mobilization of nutrients from old leaves to newly growing tissues. The progression of leaf senescence requires dynamic but coordinated changes of gene expression. Although several transcription factors (TFs) are known to be involved in both negative and positive modes of regulation of leaf senescence, detailed mechanisms that underlie the progression of leaf senescence are largely unknown. We report here that the class II ERF transcriptional repressors are controlled by proteasome and regulate the progression of leaf senescence in Arabidopsis. Since we had previously demonstrated that NtERF3, a model of tobacco class II ERFs, specifically interacts with a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, we examined the stability of NtERF3 and found that bacterially produced NtERF3 was rapidly degraded by plant protein extracts in vitro. Whereas NtERF3 accumulation was low in plants, it was increased by treatment with a proteasome inhibitor. Arabidopsis class II ERFs, namely, AtERF4 and AtERF8, were also controlled by proteasome and stabilized by aging of plants. The transgenic plants in which NtERF3, AtERF4, and AtERF8 were individually expressed under the control of the 35S promoter exhibited the precocious leaf senescence. Our microarray and RT-PCR analyses revealed that AtERF4 regulated expression of genes involving in various stress responses and leaf senescence. In contrast, aterf4 aterf8 mutant exhibited delayed leaf senescence. Taken together, we present the important role of class II ERFs in the regulation of leaf senescence. Transcriptomes of 35S:AtERF4-HA and 35S:NLS-GFP-HA (control) Arabidopsis two-weeks seedling were compared.

Project description:Pluripotent stem cells evade replicative senescence, whereas other primary cells lose their proliferation and differentiation potential after a limited number of cell divisions M-bM-^@M-^S and this is accompanied by specific senescence-associated DNA methylation (SA-DNAm) changes. Here, we investigate SA-DNAm changes in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) upon long-term culture, irradiation-induced senescence, immortalization and reprogramming into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) using high density HumanMethylation450 BeadChips. SA-DNAm changes are highly reproducible and occur particularly in intergenic and non-promoter regions of developmental genes. We demonstrate that ionizing irradiation, although associated with a very similar senescence phenotype, does not affect SA-DNAm. Furthermore, overexpression of the catalytic subunit of the human telomerase (TERT) or conditional immortalization with a doxycycline-inducible system (TERT and SV40 TAg) result in telomere extension but do not influence SA-DNAm. In contrast, we demonstrate that reprogramming into iPSC prevented SA-DNAm changes. Our results indicate that replicative senescence is associated with an epigenetically controlled process which stalls cells in a particular differentiated state, whereas irradiation-induced senescence and immortalization are not causally related to this process. Absence of SA-DNAm in pluripotent cells may play a central role for their escape from cellular senescence. Samples were hybridised to the Illumina Infinium 450k Human Methylation Beadchip
