CRISPR screening identifies nucleolar RPL22 as a heterochromatin destabilizer and senescence driver

ABSTRACT: Dysfunction of the ribosome manifests during cellular senescence and contributes to tissue aging, functional decline, and development of aging-related disorders in ways that have remained enigmatic. Here, we conducted a comprehensive CRISPR-based loss-of-function (LOF) screen of ribosome-associated genes (RAGs) in human mesenchymal progenitor cells (hMPCs). Through this approach, we identified ribosomal protein L22 (RPL22) as the foremost RAG whose deficiency mitigates the effects of cellular senescence. Consequently, absence of RPL22 delays hMPCs from becoming senescent, while an excess of RPL22 accelerates the senescence process. Mechanistically, we found in senescent hMPCs, that RPL22 accumulates within the nucleolus. This accumulation triggers a cascade of events, including heterochromatin decompaction with concomitant degradation of key heterochromatin proteins, specifically heterochromatin protein 1γ (HP1γ) and heterochromatin protein KRAB-associated protein 1 (KAP1). Subsequently, RPL22-dependent breakdown of heterochromatin stimulates the transcription of ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), triggering cellular senescence. In summary, our findings unveil a novel role for nucleolar RPL22 as a destabilizer of heterochromatin and a driver of cellular senescence, shedding new light on the intricate mechanisms underlying the aging process.

Stabilizing heterochromatin by ZKSCAN3 safeguards hMSCs from senescence

Project description:Zinc finger protein with KRAB and SCAN domain 3 (ZKSCAN3), a transcriptional repressor, involves in multiple cellular functions. However, the functions of ZKSCAN3 in the homeostatic maintenance of human stem cells remains elusive. Here, we demonstrated that ZKSCAN3 was crucial for preventing human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) from senescence in an autophagy-independent manner. Downregulation of ZKSCAN3 was observed in senescent hMSCs, and depletion of ZKSCAN3 led to premature aging in hMSCs. Further study uncovered that ZKSCAN3 maintained heterochromatin (HC) stability by interacting with heterochromatin associated proteins KAP1 and HP1 as well as nuclear envelope proteins Lamin B1, LBR and Emerin. Deficiency of ZKSCAN3 resulted in detachment of Lamina-associated domains (LADs) from the lamina, loss of heterochromatin and more accessible chromatin status within the heterochromatin and aberrant expression of repetitive sequences. Overexpression of ZKSCAN3, KAP1 or HP1 respectively rescued the senescent phenotypes in ZKSCAN3-/- hMSCs. Notably, reintroduction of ZKSCAN3 protein also retarded the cellular senescence in the replicative senescent hMSCs, as well as the pathological or physiological aging hMSCs. Together, our study reveals a novel, autophagy-independent role of ZKSCAN3 in the maintenance of heterochromatin stability and attenuation of hMSC senescence. Thus, ZKSCAN3 may be a candidate for alleviating human aging-related disorders.

Silencing of pericentric heterochromatin associated with SIRT6-dependent H3K18 deacetylation protects against mitotic errors and cellular senescence

Project description:Pericentric heterochromatin silencing at mammalian centromeres is essential for mitotic fidelity and genomic stability. Defective pericentric silencing is observed in senescent cells, aging tissues, and mammalian tumors, but the underlying mechanisms and functional consequences of these defects are unclear. Here, we uncover a pivotal role of the human SIRT6 enzyme in pericentric transcriptional silencing, and this function protects against mitotic defects, genomic instability, and cellular senescence. At pericentric heterochromatin, SIRT6 promotes deacetylation of a new substrate, histone H3 lysine K18 (H3K18), and inactivation of SIRT6 in cells leads to H3K18 hyperacetylation and aberrant accumulation of pericentric transcripts. Strikingly, RNAi-depletion of these transcripts rescues the mitotic and senescence phenotypes of SIRT6-deficient cells. Together, our findings reveal a new function for SIRT6 and H3K18Ac regulation at heterochromatin, and demonstrate the pathogenic role of de-regulated pericentric transcription in aging- and cancer- related cellular dysfunction.

Nuclear SIRT3 counteracts human stem cell senescence

Project description:Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase involved in various physiological and pathological processes. However, the role of SIRT3 in regulating human stem cell senescence remains largely unknown. Here, we observed the downregulated expression of SIRT3 in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). SIRT3 deficiency accelerated cellular senescence in hMSCs, along with compromised nuclear integrity, loss of heterochromatin and increased DNA damage. These aging-associated nuclear defects were attenuated by the reintroduction of SIRT3. Mechanistic studies demonstrated the interaction of SIRT3 with nuclear envelope proteins and heterochromatin-associated proteins. Further findings revealed that SIRT3 deficiency led to the loss of lamina-associated domains (LADs) from the nuclear lamina, increased chromatin accessibility and aberrant transcription of repetitive sequences. Meanwhile, the overexpression of nuclear-localized SIRT3 rescued the senescence phenotypes. Taken together, our study reveals a novel role of nuclear SIRT3 in stabilizing heterochromatin and counteracting hMSC senescence, which may provide new clinical therapeutic targets to ameliorate aging-related diseases.

The loss of heterochromatin is associated with multiscale three-dimensional genome reorganization and aberrant transcription during cellular senescence

Project description:Heterochromatin remodeling is critical for various cell processes. In particular, the “loss of heterochromatin” phenotype in cellular senescence engages with the progress of aging and age-related disorders. Although biological processes of senescent cells including senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) formation, chromosome compaction and entry into senescence have been closely associated with high-order chromatin structure. the relationship between the high-order chromatin organization and the loss of heterochromatin phenotype during senescence has not been fully understood. By using senescent and late senescent fibroblasts induced by DNA damage harboring the “loss of heterochromatin” phenotype, we observed progressive 3D reorganization of heterochromatin during senescence. Facultative and constitutive heterochromatin marked by H3K27me3 and H3K9me3, respectively, showed different alterations. Facultative heterochromatin tends to switch from the repressive B-compartment to the active A-compartment, whereas constitutive heterochromatin shows no significant changes at the compartment level but enhanced interactions between themselves. Interestingly, both types show increased chromatin accessibility and gene expression leakage during senescence. Furthermore, increased chromatin accessibility in potential CTCF binding sites accompanies by the establishment of novel loops in constitutive heterochromatin. Finally, we also observed aberrant expression of repetitive elements, including LTR (long terminal repeat) and satellite classes. Overall, facultative and constitutive heterochromatin show multiscale but distinct alterations in the 3D map, meanwhile they also share the same features of increased chromatin accessibility and gene expression leakage. This study provides an epigenomic map of heterochromatin reorganization during senescence.

Maintenance of nucleolar homeostasis by CBX4 alleviates senescence and osteoarthritis

Project description:CBX4, a component of polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1), plays important roles in the maintenance of cell identity and organ development through epigenetic silencing. However, whether CBX4 regulates the homeostasis of human stem cells remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that CBX4 counteracts human mesenchymal stem cell (hMSC) aging via the maintenance of nucleolar homeostasis. CBX4 protein is decreased in aged hMSCs, and targeted CBX4 knockout in young hMSCs results in destabilized nucleolar heterochromatin, increased ribosome biogenesis and protein translation, and accelerated cellular senescence. CBX4 maintains nucleolar homeostasis by recruiting nucleolar protein fibrillarin and heterochromatin organization associated protein KAP1 at nucleolar rDNA, limiting the excessive expression of rRNAs. Importantly, overexpression of CBX4 alleviates physiological hMSC aging and attenuates the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis in mice. Taken together, our findings reveal a novel role of CBX4 in counteracting senescence by maintaining nucleolar homeostasis, providing a potential therapeutic target for aging-associated disorders.

A role for Pak2 kinase in cellular senescence and organismal aging

Project description:Cellular senescence is an irreversible cell growth arrest state linked to loss of tissue function and aging in mammals. The cellular transition from proliferation to senescence is marked by increased expression of the cell-cycle inhibitor p16INK4A and formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF). It is known that SAHF formation depends primarily on HIRA-mediated nucleosome assembly of H3.3, and that the serine/threonine protein kinase Pak2 regulates HIRA-mediated nucleosome assembly of histone H3.3. Here, we tested the role of Pak2 in the regulation of cellular senescence. Depletion of Pak2 delays premature cellular senescence in both oncogene-induced senescence in human fibroblasts IMR90 cells and in oxidative stress induced senescence of mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Furthermore, overexpression of Pak2 promotes senescence of IMR90 cells. Importantly, depletion of Pak2 in mice delays the onset of some of the aging-associated phenotypes and extend life span of a progeroid mouse model. Lastly, we showed that Pak2 is required for expression of a group of genes involved in cellular senescence and regulates the deposition of newly synthesized H3.3 onto chromatin in senescent cells. Together, our results demonstrate that Pak2 is an important regulator of cellular senescence and organismal aging, in part through the regulation of gene expression and H3.3 nucleosome assembly.

Pan-senescence transcriptome analysis identified RRAD as a marker and negative regulator of cellular senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence, an irreversible proliferative arrest, functions in tissue remodeling during development and is implicated in multiple aging-associated diseases. While senescent cells often manifest an array of senescence-associated phenotypes, such as cell cycle arrest, altered heterochromatin architecture, reprogrammed metabolism and senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP), the identification of senescence cells has been hindered by lack of specific and universal biomarkers. To systematically identify universal biomarkers of cellular senescence, we integrated multiple transcriptome data sets of senescent cells obtained through different in vitro manipulation modes as well as age-related gene expression data of human tissues. Our analysis showed that RRAD (Ras-related associated with diabetes) expression is up-regulated in all the manipulation modes and increases with age in human skin and adipose tissues.

Suppression of LBR by miR-340 disrupts chromatin, promotes cell senescence, and enhances senolysis (RNA-Seq 2)

Project description:One of the cellular processes influenced by microRNAs is senescence, a state of indefinite growth arrest triggered by sublethal cell damage. Here, through bioinformatic analysis and experimental validation, we identified miR-340-5p as a novel miRNA that foments cellular senescence. miR340-5p was highly abundant in diverse senescence models, and miR-340-5p overexpression in proliferating cells rendered them senescent. Among the target mRNAs, miR-340-5p prominently reduced the levels of LBR mRNA, encoding Lamin B Receptor (LBR). Loss of LBR by ectopic overexpression of miR-340-5p derepressed heterochromatin in lamina-associated domains (LADs), promoting the expression of DNA repetitive elements characteristic of senescence. Importantly, overexpressing miR-340-5p enhanced cellular sensitivity to senolytic compounds, while antagonization of miR-340-5p reduced senescent-cell markers and engendered resistance to senolytic-induced cell death. We propose that miR-340-5p can be exploited for clearing senescent cells to restore tissue homeostasis and mitigate damage by senescent cells in aging human pathologies.

Stabilizing Heterochromatin by DGCR8 Alleviates Senescence and Osteoarthritis

Project description:DiGeorge syndrome critical region 8 (DGCR8) is a critical component of the canonical microprocessor complex for microRNA biogenesis. However, the non-canonical functions of DGCR8 have not been studied. Here, we demonstrate that DGCR8 plays an important role in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating aging. An N-terminal-truncated version of DGCR8 (DR8dex2) accelerated senescence in human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) independent of its miRNA-processing activity, which is mediated by its C-terminal domains. Further studies revealed that DGCR8 maintained heterochromatin organization by interacting with the nuclear envelope protein Lamin B1, and heterochromatin-associated proteins, KAP1 and HP1 Overexpression of any of these proteins, including DGCR8, reversed premature senescent phenotypes in DR8dex2 hMSCs. Finally, DGCR8 was downregulated in pathologically and naturally aged hMSCs, whereas DGCR8 overexpression alleviated hMSC aging and osteoarthritis in mice. Taken together, these analyses uncovered a novel, miRNA processing-independent role for DGCR8 in maintaining heterochromatin organization and attenuating senescence. DGCR8 may therefore represent a new therapeutic target for alleviating human aging-related disorders.
