Cell Receptor Senescence Response by an Endosomal NK Activated Kinase 1 Control Signals for A The Journal of Immunology TNFR-Associated Factor 6 and TGF-b–Activated Kinase 1 Control Signals for a Senescence Response by an Endosomal NK Cell Receptor Sumati Rajagopalan, Elizabeth C. Lee, Matthew L. DuPrie, and Eric O. Long The endosomal innate receptor CD158d (killer cell Ig-like receptor 2DL4) induces cellular senescence in human NK cells in response to soluble ligand (HLA-G or agonist Ab). These senescent NK cells display a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, and their secretome promotes vascular remodeling and angiogenesis. To understand how CD158d initiates signaling for a senescence response, we mapped the region in its cytoplasmic tail that controls signaling. We identified a conserved TNFR-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) binding motif, which was required for CD158d-induced NF-kB activation and IL-8 secretion, TRAF6 association with CD158d, and TRAF6 recruitment to CD158d+ endosomes in transfected cells. The adaptor TRAF6 is known to couple proximal signals from receptors such as endosomal TLRs and CD40 through the kinase TGF-b–activated kinase 1 (TAK1) for NF-kB–dependent proinflammatory responses. Small interfering RNA–mediated silencing of TRAF6 and TAK1, and inhibition of TAK1 blocked CD158d-dependent IL-8 secretion. Stimulation of primary, resting NK cells with soluble Ab to CD158d induced TRAF6 associ- ation with CD158d, induced TAK1 phosphorylation, and inhibition of TAK1 blocked the CD158d-dependent reprogramming of NK cells that produces the senescence-associated secretory phenotype signature. Our results reveal that a prototypic TLR and TNFR signaling pathway is used by a killer cell Ig-like receptor that promotes secretion of proinflammatory and proangiogenic mediators as part of a unique senescence phenotype in NK cells.

Excessive accumulation of senescent cells in numerous tissues leads to multiple chronic diseases, tissue dysfunction, age-related diseases and organ ageing. Immune cells can remove senescent cells. Immunaging or impaired innate and adaptive immune responses by senescent cells result in persistent accumulation of various senescent cells. Although senolytics—drugs that selectively remove senescent cells by inducing their apoptosis—are recent hot topics and are making significant research progress, senescence immunotherapies using immune cell-mediated clearance of senescent cells are emerging and promising strategies to fight ageing and multiple chronic diseases. This short review provides an overview of the research progress to date concerning senescent cell-caused chronic diseases and tissue ageing, as well as the regulation of senescence by small-molecule drugs in clinical trials and different roles and regulation of immune cells in the elimination of senescent cells. Mounting evidence indicates that immunotherapy targeting senescent cells combats ageing and chronic diseases and subsequently extends the healthy lifespan.

Abstract: Cellular senescence and aging result in a reduced ability to manage persistent types of inflammation. Thus, the chronic low-level inflammation associated with aging phenotype is called “inflammaging”. Inflammaging is not only related with age-associated chronic systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, but also skin aging. As the largest organ of the body, skin is continuously exposed to external stressors such as UV radiation, air particulate matter, and human microbiome. In this review article, we present mechanisms for accumulation of senescence cells in different compartments of the skin based on cell types, and their association with skin resident immune cells to describe changes in cutaneous immunity during the aging process.

  • Cellular Senescence and Apoptosis: How Cellular Responses Might Influence Aging Phenotypes
    Experimental Gerontology 38 (2003) 5–11 www.elsevier.com/locate/expgero Cellular senescence and apoptosis: how cellular responses might influence aging phenotypes Judith Campisia,b,* aLife Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA bBuck Institute for Age Research, 8001 Redwood Blvd., Novato, CA 94945, USA Received 20 May 2002; accepted 28 May 2002 Abstract Aging in complex multi-cellular organisms such as mammals entails distinctive changes in cells and molecules that ultimately compromise the fitness of adult organisms. These cellular and molecular changes lead to the phenotypes we recognize as aging. This review discusses some of the cellular and molecular changes that occur with age, specifically changes that occur as a result of cellular responses that evolved to ameliorate the inevitable damage that is caused by endogenous and environmental insults. Because the force of natural selection declines with age, it is likely that these processes were never optimized during their evolution to benefit old organisms. That is, some age- related changes may be the result of gene activities that were selected for their beneficial effects in young organisms, but the same gene activities may have unselected, deleterious effects in old organisms, a phenomenon termed antagonistic pleiotropy. Two cellular processes, apoptosis and cellular senescence, may be examples of antagonistic pleiotropy. Both processes are essential for the viability and fitness of young organisms, but may contribute to aging phenotypes, including certain age-related diseases. q 2002 Elsevier Science Inc.

Werner syndrome and Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome are two of the best characterized human progeroid diseases.

Tumor development and progression is a highly dynamic process, with several phases of evolution. The existing evidence about the origin and consequences of cancer cell fate specification (e.g., proliferation, senescence, stemness, dormancy, quiescence, and cell cycle re-entry) in the context of tumor formation and metastasis is discussed. The interplay between these dynamic tumor cell phenotypes, the microenvironment, and the immune system is also reviewed in relation to cancer. We focus on the role of senescence during cancer progression, with a special emphasis on its relationship with stemness and dormancy. Selective interventions on senescence and dormancy cell fates, including the specific targeting of cancer cell populations to prevent detrimental effects in aging and disease, are also reviewed. A new conceptual framework about the impact of synthetic lethal strategies by using senogenics and then senolytics is given, with the promise of future directions on innovative anticancer therapies.

Venezian, 1 20133 Milan, Italy (Correspondence should be addressed to A Greco; Email: [email protected]) Abstract Oncogene-induced senescence (OIS) is a growth arrest triggered by the enforced expression of cancer-promoting genes and acts as a barrier against malignant transformation in vivo. In this study, by a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, we investigate the role of OIS in tumours originating from the thyroid epithelium. We found that expression of different thyroid tumour-associated oncogenes in primary human thyrocytes triggers senescence, as demon- strated by the presence of OIS hallmarks: changes in cell morphology, accumulation of SA-b-Gal and senescence-associated heterochromatic foci, and upregulation of transcription of the cyclin- dependent kinase inhibitors p16INK4a and p21CIP1. Furthermore, immunohistochemical analysis of a panel of thyroid tumours characterised by different aggressiveness showed that the expression of OIS markers such as p16INK4a, p21CIP1 and IGFBP7 is upregulated at early stages, and lost during thyroid tumour progression.

Cellular senescence, however, is now considered to have physiological functions other than tumor suppression; it has been found to be involved in embryogenesis, tissue/organ aging, and wound healing. Surprisingly, cellular senescence is also demonstrated to have a tumor progressive role in certain situations. Senescent cells exhibit secretory phenotypes called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which secrete a variety of SASP factors including inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, as well as matrix remodeling factors that promote the alteration of neighboring tissue microenvironments. Such SASP factors have been known to drive the mechanisms underlying the pleiotropic features of cellular senescence. In this review, we examine current knowledge of cellular senescence at molecular and cellular levels, with a focus on chronic inflammation and tumor progression. Key Words: senescence, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), ionizing radiation, heat shock response (HSR) 1.
