TXNRD1 drives innate immune response in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation

ABSTRACT: Sterile inflammation, also known as inflammaging, is a hallmark of tissue ageing. Cellular senescence contributes to tissue aging in part through secretion of proinflammatory factors known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) genetic variability is associated with aging and age-associated phenotypes such as late-life survival, activity of daily living, and physical performance at old age. TXNRD1 role in regulating tissue ageing has been attributed to its enzymatic role in regulating cellular redox. Here we show that TXNRD1 drives SASP and inflammaging through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) innate immune response pathway independently of its enzymatic activity. TXNRD1 localizes to cytoplasmic chromatin fragment and interacts with cGAS in a senescence status dependent manner. TXNRD1 enhances the enzymatic activity of cGAS. TXNRD1 and its interaction with cGAS is necessary for the SASP. TXNRD1 is required for both the tumor-promoting and immune-surveillance functions of senescent cells, which are mediated by SASP in vivo in mouse models. Treatment of aged mice with an TXNRD1 inhibitor that disrupts its interaction with cGAS, but not an inhibitor of its enzymatic activity, downregulated inflammaging in several tissues. In summary, our results report TXNRD1 promotes inflammaging via the innate immune response. They indicate that TXNRD1 and cGAS interaction is a relevant target for selectively suppressing inflammaging.

TXNRD1 drives innate immune response in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation II

Project description:Sterile inflammation, also known as “inflammaging”, is a hallmark of tissue ageing. Cellular senescence contributes to tissue aging in part through secretion of proinflammatory factors known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1) genetic variability is associated with aging and age-associated phenotypes such as late-life survival, activity of daily living, and physical performance at old age. TXNRD1’s role in regulating tissue ageing has been attributed to its enzymatic role in reducing reactive oxygen species. Here we show that TXNRD1 drives SASP and inflammaging through the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes (STING) innate immune response pathway independent of its enzymatic activity

Innate immune sensing of cytosolic chromatin fragments through cGAS promotes senescence

Project description:Cellular senescence is triggered by various distinct stresses and characterized by a permanent cell cycle arrest. Senescent cells secrete a variety of inflammatory factors, collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The mechanism(s) underlying the regulation of the SASP remains incompletely understood. Here we define a role for innate DNA sensing in the regulation of senescence and the SASP. We find that cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) recognizes cytosolic chromatin fragments (CCFs) in senescent cells. The activation of cGAS, in turn triggers the production of SASP factors via Stimulator of interferon genes (STING), thereby promoting paracrine senescence. We demonstrate that diverse stimuli of cellular senescence engage the cGAS-STING pathway in vitro and we show cGAS-dependent regulation of senescence upon irradiation and oncogene activation in vivo. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms underlying cellular senescence by establishing the cGAS-STING pathway as a crucial regulator of senescence and the SASP.

Nuclear GFP ChIP-seq from bone marrow-derived dendritic cells of GFP-cGAS knock-In mice

Project description:Cytosolic DNA activates cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS), an innate immune sensor pivotal in anti-microbial defense, senescence, auto-immunity and cancer. cGAS is considered a sequence-independent DNA sensor with limited access to nuclear DNA because of compartmentalization. However, the nuclear envelope is a dynamic barrier and cGAS is present in the nucleus. Here, we identify determinants of nuclear cGAS localization and activation. We show that nuclear-localized cGAS synthesizes cGAMP and induces innate immune activation of dendritic cells, but cGAMP levels are 200-fold lower than following transfection with exogenous DNA. Using cGAS ChIP-seq and a GFP-cGAS knock-in mouse, we find nuclear cGAS enrichment on centromeric satellite DNA, confirmed by imaging, and to a lesser extent with LINE elements. The non-enzymatic N-terminal domain of cGAS determines nucleo-cytoplasmic localization, enrichment on centromeres and activation of nuclear-localized cGAS. These results reveal a preferential functional association of nuclear cGAS with centromeres.

NAD+ metabolism governs proinflammatory senescence secretome

Project description:Cellular senescence is a stable cell growth arrest that is implicated in tissue aging and cancer. Senescent cells are characterized by an upregulation of proinflammatory and immunosuppressive cytokines and chemokines, which is termed as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). NAD+ metabolism plays a critical role in both tissue aging and cancer. However, the role of NAD+ metabolism in regulating the SASP is not well understood. Here we show that nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme of the NAD+ salvage pathway, governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP during senescence. In contrast to downregulation of NAMPT during replicative senescence, NAMPT is upregulated during oncogene-induced senescence. NAMPT selectively regulates proinflammatory, but not immunosuppressive, SASP. NAMPT is regulated by HMGA1 through a distal enhancer element during senescence. HMGA1/NAMPT/NAD+ signaling axis promotes proinflammatory SASP through enhancing glycolysis and mitochondria respiration. Mechanistically, HMGA1/NAMPT promotes proinflammatory SASP through NAD+-mediated suppression of AMPK kinase, which suppresses p53-mediated inhibition of p38MAPK to enhance NFb activity. SASP regulation by NAD+ metabolism is independent of senescence-associated cell growth arrest. An increase in NAD+ levels is sufficient to convert SASP from low to high levels during replicative senescence. Together, we conclude that NAD+ metabolism governs the strengths of proinflammatory SASP. Given the tumor promoting effects of proinflammatory SASP, our results suggest that anti-ageing dietary NAD+ augmentation should be administered with precision.

Gene expression changes in cord blood-derived ECFCs in response to in vitro senescence stimuli

Project description:Senescent endothelial cells accumulate in blood vessels during aging and produce the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Age-related cardiovascular disease is promoted by SASP chronic inflammation. SASP establishment has been attributed to DNA damage and cGAS activation through cytoplasmic chromatin fragments. Therefore, DNA sensing has been extensively studied in cellular senescence; RNA sensing, on the other hand, remains unexplored. Here, we uncover a pivotal role for RNA accumulation and sensing in endothelial senescence. Our study suggests that intracellular RNA accumulation is a hallmark of senescent endothelial cells. This is associated with activation of RIG-I RNA sensing, and IRF7-driven IFN innate immune response. Moreover, our results revealed that inhibition of IRF7 or RIG-I were sufficient to extend the lifespan and functionality of endothelial cells. These data link the IFN gene signature with RNA accumulation/sensing in senescent endothelium and suggest IRF7 and RIG-I as potential therapeutic targets to delay vascular aging.

The role of extracellular vesicles in synovial fibroblast senescence

Project description:In arthritis, synovial fibroblast (SF) senescence is linked to the activation of a pro-inflammatory phenotype contributing to chronic arthritis pathogenesis. Additionally, senescent cells accumulate in ageing tissues further promoting ageing and inflammation. These cells have dysregulated mitochondrial function and metabolism, limited tissue regeneration, produce reactive oxygen species (ROS) and secrete bioactive molecules, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines and matrix-remodelling enzymes known as SASP (senescence-associated secretory phenotype). In vitro, senescent cells can induce a senescent phenotype in surrounding bystander cells. Interestingly, extracellular vesicles (EVs) have critical roles in cellular senescence and ageing and are mediators in intercellular communication. We hypothesize that senescent cells in osteoarthritic SFs induce senescence and/or a proinflammatory phenotype in non-senescent osteoarthritic SFs, mediated through EV cargo.

cGAS/STING drives ageing-related inflammation and neurodegeneration II

Project description:Low-grade inflammation is a hallmark of old age and a central driver of ageing-associated impairment and disease. Multiple factors can contribute to ageing-associated inflammation, however the molecular pathways transducing aberrant inflammatory signalling and their impact in natural ageing remain poorly understood. Here we show that the cGAS-STING signalling pathway, mediating immune sensing of DNA, is a critical driver of chronic inflammation and functional decline during ageing. Blockade of STING suppresses the inflammatory phenotypes of senescent human cells and tissues, attenuates ageing-related inflammation in multiple peripheral organs and the brain in mice, and leads to an improvement in tissue function. Focusing on the ageing brain, we reveal that activation of STING triggers reactive microglia transcriptional states, neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Cytosolic DNA released from perturbed mitochondria elicits cGAS activity in old microglia defining a mechanism by which cGAS-STING signalling is engaged in the ageing brain. Single-nuclei RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq) of microglia and hippocampi of a newly developed cGAS gain-of-function mouse model demonstrates that engagement of cGAS in microglia is sufficient to direct ageing-associated transcriptional microglia states leading to bystander cell inflammation, neurotoxicity and impaired memory capacity. Our findings establish the cGAS-STING pathway as a critical driver of ageing-related inflammation in peripheral organs and the brain, and reveal blockade of cGAS-STING signalling as a potential strategy to halt (neuro)degenerative processes during old age.
