BRD4 connects enhancer remodeling to senescence immune surveillance (RNA-seq)

ABSTRACT: Cellular senescence is a homeostatic program associated with tumor suppression, wound healing, and certain age related pathologies. Senescent cells display a repressive chromatin configuration thought to stably silence proliferation-promoting genes, while at the same time activate an unusual form of immune surveillance involving a secretory program referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here we demonstrate that senescence also involves a global remodeling of the enhancer landscape with recruitment of the chromatin reader BRD4 to newly activated super-enhancers adjacent to key SASP genes. Transcriptional profiling and functional studies indicate that BRD4 is required for the SASP and downstream paracrine signaling. Consequently, BRD4 inhibition disrupts immune cell-mediated targeting and elimination of premalignant senescent cells in vitro and in vivo. Our results identify a critical role for BRD4-bound super-enhancers in senescence immune surveillance and in the proper execution of a tumor-suppressive program.

BRD4 connects enhancer remodeling to senescence immune surveillance (ChIP-Seq)

Senescence rewires microenvironment sensing to facilitate anti-tumor immunity (bulk RNA-Seq)

Project description:Cellular senescence involves a stable cell cycle arrest coupled to a secretory program that, in some instances, stimulates the immune clearance of senescent cells. Using an immune competent tumor model in which senescence triggers CD8 T cell-mediated tumor rejection, we show that senescence also remodels cell surface proteome to alter how they sense environmental factors, as exemplified by Type II interferon gamma (IFN-γ). Compared to proliferating cells, senescent cells upregulate IFN-γ receptor, become hypersensitized to microenvironmental IFN-γ, and more robustly induce antigen presenting machinery -effects also recapitulated in human tumor cells treated with senescence-inducing drugs. Disruption of the IFN-γ sensing by senescent cells blunts their immune-mediated clearance without disabling their characteristic secretory program or immune cell recruitment. Our results demonstrate that senescent cells have an enhanced ability to both send and receive environmental signals, and imply that each process is required for their effective immune surveillance.

A novel histone variant H2A.J accumulates in senescent human cell with persistent DNA damage and promote inflammatory gene expression

Project description:The senescence of mammalian cells is characterized by a proliferative arrest in response to stress and the expression of an inflammatory phenotype. We discovered that H2A.J, a poorly studied H2A variant found only in mammals, accumulates in human fibroblasts in senescence with persistent DNA damage. Knock-down of H2A.J interfered with the derepression of a set of inflammatory genes that contribute to the senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), and over-expression of H2A.J increased the expression of some of these genes in proliferating cells. H2A.J accumulation may thus promote the signaling of senescent cells to the immune system. 41 samples analysed

Oxylipin biosynthesis reinforces cellular senescence through a RAS/p53 feedback loop and allows detection of senolysis

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stress or damage response that causes a permanent proliferative arrest and secretion of numerous factors with potent biological activities. This senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) has been characterized largely for secreted proteins that participate in embryogenesis, wound healing, inflammation and many age-related pathologies. By contrast, lipid components of the SASP are understudied. We show that senescent cells activate the biosynthesis of several oxylipins that promote segments of the SASP and reinforce the proliferative arrest. Notably, senescent cells synthesize and accumulate an unstudied intracellular prostaglandin, 1a,1b-dihomo-15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2. Released 15-deoxy-delta-12,14-prostaglandin J2 is a biomarker of senolysis in culture and in vivo. This and other prostaglandin D2-related lipids promote the senescence arrest and SASP by activating RAS signaling. These data identify an important aspect of cellular senescence and a method to detect senolysis

GNPS - Exosomes Released from Senescent Cells and Isolated from Human Plasma Reveal Aging-associated Proteomic Signatures

Project description:Senescence emerged as a significant mechanism of aging and age-related diseases, offering an attractive target for clinical intervention. Senescent cells release senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), including exosomes that may act as signal transducers between distal tissues, propagating secondary senescence and signaling throughout the body. However, the composition of exosome SASP remains underexplored, presenting an opportunity for novel unbiased discovery. Here, we present a detailed lipidomic analysis of exosome SASP using mass spectrometry from senescent primary human lung fibroblasts and human plasma from young and older individuals.

Chromatin reorganization drives expression of functional maturation genes in senescent pancreatic beta cells (Series3 - Chromatin profiles, ChIP-seq)

Project description:Using a unique model of cultured human beta cell senescence we show that chromatin reorganization leads to activation of enhancers regulating functional maturation genes, concomitantly with acquisition of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion capacity. Interferon-response genes are elevated in senescent beta cells, but cytokine-encoding senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes are not. Human beta cell senescence thus involves chromatin-driven upregulation of a functional maturation program and of interferon-stimulated genes, changes that could increase both insulin secretion and immune reactivity.
