A natural variation-based screen in mouse cells reveals USF2 as a regulator of DNA damage response and senescence

ABSTRACT: Mammalian cells of many types, upon exposure to stress, enter the senescence program. They stop dividing, become refractory to apoptosis, and release soluble inflammation and tissue remodeling factors referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The resulting immune response, on an acute timescale, can clear debris, promote wound healing, and/or suppress tumorigenesis. However, during aging, senescent cells remain in the body long past any initial triggering event, resulting in chronic inflammation that damages the surrounding tissue. Landmark work has revealed the benefits of eliminating senescent cells, in terms of age-related pathologies and lifespan itself. We set out to develop a novel approach to survey transcription factors for a role in cellular senescence, with the potential for increased specificity relative to traditional genomic screens. Our strategy took advantage of the natural genetic variation in senescence gene expression, and transcription factor binding sites, across mouse species. Among the top hits from this analysis, we chose the under-studied factor USF2 for validation experiments, focused on gene regulation and cellular phenotypes during senescence induction and maintenance.

Topical ABT-263 treatment reduces aged skin senescence and improves subsequent wound healing

Project description:Senescent cells accumulate in aging tissues, impairing their ability to undergo repair and regeneration following injury. Previous research has demonstrated that targeting tissue senescence with senolytics can enhance tissue regeneration and repair by selectively eliminating senescent cells in specific aged tissues. In this study, we focused on eliminating senescent skin cells in aged mice to assess the effects on subsequent wound healing. We applied ABT-263 (Navitoclax) and a DMSO control directly to the skin of 24-month-old mice over a 5-day period. Following ABT-263 treatment, aged skin showed decreased gene expression of senescent markers p16 and p21, accompanied by reductions in SA-β-gal and p21-positive cells compared to the DMSO-treated skin. However, ABT-263 treatment also triggered a temporary inflammatory response and macrophage infiltration in the skin. Bulk RNA sequencing of ABT-263-treated skin revealed prompt upregulation of genes associated with wound healing pathways, including hemostasis, inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, collagen synthesis, and extracellular matrix organization. Aged mice treated with ABT-263 exhibited accelerated wound closure compared to the DMSO control group. In conclusion, topical ABT-263 effectively reduced several senescence markers in aged skin, thereby priming the skin for improved subsequent wound healing. This enhancement may be attributed to ABT-263-induced senolysis and the resulting inflammation, which in turn stimulated the expression of genes involved in extracellular matrix remodeling and wound repair pathways.

Pleiotrophic function of BAFF to promote a senescence-associated secretome and growth arrest

Project description:Senescent cells release a variety of cytokines, proteases and growth factors collectively defined as the Senescent Secretory Associated Phenotype (SASP). Sustained SASP induces a pattern of chronic inflammation associated with aging and implicated in multiple age-related diseases. Here, we investigated the expression and function of the immunomodulatory cytokine BAFF (B-cell activating factor), a SASP factor, in multiple senescence models. First, we characterized BAFF production across different senescence models, including senescent human diploid fibroblasts (WI-38, IMR-90) and monocytic leukemia cells (THP-1), and tissues of mice induced to undergo senescence. We identified IRF1 (interferon response factor 1) as a transcription factor required for promoting BAFF mRNA transcription in senescence, and found that suppressing BAFF production decreased the senescent phenotype in both monocytes and fibroblasts. Importantly, the influence of BAFF on the senescence program was cell type-specific: in monocytes, BAFF promoted the early activation of NF-κB and general SASP secretion, while in fibroblasts, BAFF contributed to the production and function of TP53 (p53). Overall, BAFF silencing affected shared senescence-associated phenotypes including IL6 secretion, SA-beta-Gal staining, and γ-H2AX accumulation. We propose that BAFF is a novel biomarker of senescence and a potential target for senotherapy.

Muscle injury induces a transient senescence-like state that is required for myofiber growth during muscle regeneration

Project description:Cellular senescence is the irreversible arrest of normally dividing cells and is driven by the cell cycle inhibitors Cdkn2a, Cdkn1a, and Trp53. Senescent cells are implicated in chronic diseases and tissue repair through their increased secretion of proinflammatory factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here, we use spatial transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) to demonstrate that cells displaying senescent characteristics are “transiently" present within regenerating skeletal muscle and within the muscles of D2-mdx mice, a model of Muscular Dystrophy. Following injury, multiple cell types including macrophages and fibro-adipogenic progenitors (FAPs) upregulate senescent features such as senescence pathway genes, SASP factors, and senescence-associated beta-gal (SA-β-gal) activity. Importantly, when these cells were removed with ABT-263, a senolytic compound, satellite cells are reduced, and muscle fibers were impaired in growth and myonuclear accretion.

Identification of Senescence-Associated Circular RNAs (SAC-RNAs) reveals senescence suppressor CircPVT1

Project description:With advancing age, senescent cells accumulate in tissues and critically influence aging-associated diseases. We report the first catalog of a novel class of regulatory RNAs, circular RNAs, differentially expressed in senescent (non-dividing) compared with dividing human fibroblasts. Among them, we focused on the circular RNA CircPVT1, as it promoted proliferation by binding and neutralizing let-7, a microRNA capable of triggering senescence. Interestingly, by suppressing let-7, CircPVT1 selectively elevated the expression of several proliferative proteins which were otherwise repressed by let-7. In summary, we have uncovered a novel mechanism whereby circular RNAs control gene expression programs in senescent cells.

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

Senescence-specific translation dysregulation desensitizes cells to stress by inhibiting activation of the integrated stress response

Project description:Senescence is a state of indefinite cell cycle arrest associated with aging, cancer, and age-related diseases. Here we find that translational deregulation and a corresponding maladaptive integrated stress response (ISR) is a hallmark of senescence that desensitizes senescent cells to stress. We present evidence that senescent cells maintain high levels of eIF2? phosphorylation, typical of ISR activation, but translationally repress production of the stress response transcription factor 4 (ATF4) by ineffective bypass of the inhibitory upstream open reading frames (uORFs). Surprisingly, ATF4 translation remains inhibited even after acute proteotoxic and amino acid starvation stressors, resulting in a highly diminished stress response. We also find that stress augments the senescence associated secretory phenotype with sustained remodeling of inflammatory factors expression that is suppressed by non-uORF carrying ATF4 mRNA expression. Our results thus show that senescent cells possess a unique response to stress that entails an increase in their inflammatory profile.

Targeting cIAP2 in a novel senolytic strategy prevents glioblastoma recurrence after radiotherapy

Project description:Glioblastomas (GBM) are routinely treated with high doses of ionizing radiation (IR), yet these tumors recur quickly, and the recurrent tumors are highly therapy resistant. Here, we report that IR-induced senescence of tumor cells counterintuitively spurs GBM recurrence, driven by the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). We find that irradiated GBM cell lines and patient derived xenograft (PDX) cultures senesce rapidly in a p21-dependent manner. Senescent glioma cells upregulate SASP genes and secrete a panoply of SASP factors, prominently interleukin IL-6, an activator of the JAK-STAT3 pathway. These SASP factors collectively activate the JAK-STAT3 and NF-kB pathways in non-senescent GBM cells, thereby promoting tumor cell proliferation and SASP spreading. Transcriptomic analyses of irradiated GBM cells and the TCGA database reveal that the cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein 2 (cIAP2), encoded by the BIRC3 gene, is a critical survival factor for senescent glioma cells. Senescent GBM cells not only upregulate BIRC3 but also induce BIRC3 expression and promote radioresistance in non-senescent tumor cells. We find that SMAC mimetics targeting cIAP2 act as novel senolytics that trigger apoptosis of senescent GBM cells with minimal toxicity towards normal brain cells. Finally, using both PDX and syngeneic mouse models of GBM, we show that the SMAC mimetic birinapant, administered as an adjuvant therapy after radiotherapy, can eliminate senescent GBM cells and prevent the emergence of recurrent tumors. Taken together, our results clearly indicate that significant improvement in GBM patient survival may become possible in the clinic by eliminating senescent cells arising after radiotherapy

ANKRD1 promotes cell migration by suppressing ELN production during early senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence is a complex biological process that contributes to wound healing, carcinogenesis, and age-related disease. Although the molecular mechanisms whereby senescence promotes wound repair are not well understood, the protein ANKRD1, which promoted wound healing in mice, was found to increase in senescent cells. We hypothesized that ANKRD1 may play a role in senescence-mediated wound healing. Conditioned medium (CM) from senescent WI-38 human diploid fibroblasts hastened cell migration of human HaCaT keratinocytes. Interestingly, silencing ANKRD1 in WI-38 cells reduced the effect of CM on cell migration, while overexpressing ANKRD1 accelerated it. Further proteomic analysis revealed that ANKRD1 associates with YBOX1, a multifunctional protein that modulates transcription of the ELN gene and reduces ELN mRNA production. The product of the ELN gene, the protein ELN or tropoelastin (a subunit of elastin), is a secreted factor that reduces motility. Thus, we propose that a rise in ANKRD1 during early senescence transiently limits the YBOX1-dependent transcriptional increase in ELN production, and thereby enables cell motility in early phases of senescence.
