ANKRD1 promotes cell migration by suppressing ELN production during early senescence
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 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.
