Project description:We report that CCF nucleus-to-cytoplasm shuttling in senescence is mediated by nuclear egress, mediated by ESCRT-III and Torsin complex. We inhibit ESCRT-III by KO ALIX, and Torsin by KO TOR1A.
Project description:Mammalian SIRT1 is a central regulator of metabolism and aging. This project is to analyze global phosphorylation levels of mammalian SIRT1 in proliferating and senescence states using human lung fibroblast IMR90, in order to explore the post-translational regulation of SIRT1 protein upon cellular senescence and its potential roles in the regulatory mechanisms of SIRT1 homeostasis.
Project description:IMR90 cells were passaged until replicative senescence and compared with proliferating cells. We used RNA-Seq to detail the global programme of gene expression in human IMR90 replicative induced senescence
Project description:Transcription profiling from human primary fibroblasts as they progress into senescence. Samples were taken early population doubling onwards until cells reached replicative senescence and stopped dividing. Population doubling values are contained in Characteristics[generation] column.
Project description:Senescence can be transmitted in a paracrine way from cells undergoing Oncogene Induced Senescence (OIS) to naM-CM-/ve normal cells. We define this phenomenon as M-bM-^@M-^\paracrine senescenceM-bM-^@M-^] We used microarrays to compare the trancriptome of cells undergoing paracrine senescence to the transcriptome of cells suffering OIS to unveil the common signatures defining both events and the similarities between them IMR90 cells were co-cultured with IMR90 ER:RAS undergoing OIS or IMR90-Vector control cells using 0.2 M-NM-<m pore transwell (anopore) to allow communication of soluble factors but physical separation of the two cell populations. The total mRNA of IMR90, IMR90 ER:RAS or IMR90 cells cultured in Transwells together with IMR90 vector or IMR90 ER:RAS cells during 7 days in the presence of 200 nM 4OHT and 0.5 % FBS was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays to compare paracrine senescence to OIS.
Project description:ER:RAS-G12V expressing IMR90 cells were treated with either 100nM 4-OHT or 40uM Celecoxib or both for 6 days leading to RAS-induced senescence (RIS) with or without COX2 inhibition.
Project description:We stably infected IMR90 fibroblasts with lentiviral vectors expressing doxycycline-inducible TRF2dBdM or vector control. Cells were treated with 1mg/ml of doxycycline for 7 days to induce senescence in the cells expressing TRF2dBdM before collecting RNA. IMR90 cells, either young (passage 10, population doubling ~20) or old (passage 24, population doubling ~40-48) were also used as a model of replicative senescence. The transcriptomes were analyzed using RNA microarrays.
