Senescence and SASP can also occur in post-mitotic cells, notably neurons.[12] The SASP in senescent neurons can vary according to cell type, the initiator of senescence, and the stage of senescence. [12]
An online SASP Atlas serves as a guide to the various types of SASP.[8]
SASP is one of the three main features of senescent cells, the other two features being arrested cell growth, and resistance to apoptosis.[13] SASP factors can include the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-xL,[14] but growth arrest and SASP production are independently regulated.[15] Although SASP from senescent cells can kill neighboring normal cells, the apoptosis-resistance of senescent cells protects those cells from SASP.[16]
History
The concept and abbreviation of SASP was first established by Judith Campisi and her group, who first published on the subject in 2008.[1]
Demethylation of DNA packaging protein Histone H3 (H3K27me3) can lead to up-regulation of genes controlling SASP.[17]
mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) is also a key initiator of SASP.[22][26]Interleukin 1 alpha (IL1A) is found on the surface of senescent cells, where it contributes to the production of SASP factors due to a positive feedback loop with NF-κB.[27][28][29] Translation of mRNA for IL1A is highly dependent upon mTOR activity.[30] mTOR activity increases levels of IL1A, mediated by MAPKAPK2.[27] mTOR inhibition of ZFP36L1 prevents this protein from degrading transcripts of numerous components of SASP factors.[31][32] Inhibition of mTOR supports autophagy, which can generate SASP components.[33]
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is more vulnerable to DNA damage than DNA elsewhere in the genome such that rDNA instability can lead to cellular senescence, and thus to SASP[34] The high-mobility group proteins (HMGA) can induce senescence and SASP in a p53-dependent manner.[35]
Senescent cells release mitochondrial double-stranded RNA (mt-dsRNA) into the cytosol driving the SASP via RIGI/MDA5/MAVS/MFN1. Moreover, senescent cells are hypersensitive to mt-dsRNA-driven inflammation due to reduced levels of PNPT1 and ADAR1.[38]
Pathology
The composition and destructiveness of SASP depends upon the senescent cell type, the surrounding microenvironment, and the type of stimulus inducing the senescence.[39]
SASP factors from senescent cells reduce nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) in non-senescent cells,[47] thereby reducing the capacity for DNA repair and sirtuin activity in non-senescent cells.[48] SASP induction of the NAD+ degrading enzyme CD38 on non-senescent cells (macrophages) may be responsible for most of this effect.[37][49][50] By contrast, NAD+ contributes to the secondary (pro-inflammatory) manifestation of SASP.[7]
SASP cytokines can result in an inflamed stem cell niche, leading to stem cell exhaustion and impaired stem cell function.[37]
The pro-inflammatory environment generated by SASP factors accelerates the breakdown of extracellular matrix thereby worsening intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD).[52] AMPK/p53 senescence produces a completely different SASP than IL-1 (p16INK4a) senescence, which is primarily responsible for IVDD.[53] In IVDD, SASP is secreted by nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus cells, resulting in extracellular matrix degradation and extracellular inflammation.[53]Senomorphics, but not senolytics have been found to alleviate symptoms without eliminating senescent cells.[53]
SASP can either promote or inhibit cancer, depending on the SASP composition,[40] notably including p53 status.[54] Despite the fact that cellular senescence likely evolved as a means of protecting against cancer early in life, SASP promotes the development of late-life cancers.[18][44] Cancer invasiveness is promoted primarily through the actions of the SASP factors metalloproteinase, chemokine, interleukin 6 (IL-6), and interleukin 8 (IL-8).[55][1] In fact, SASP from senescent cells is associated with many aging-associated diseases, including not only cancer, but atherosclerosis and osteoarthritis.[2] For this reason, senolytic therapy has been proposed as a generalized treatment for these and many other diseases.[2] The flavonoidapigenin has been shown to strongly inhibit SASP production.[56]
Benefits
SASP can aid in signaling to immune cells for senescent cell clearance,[57][58][59][60] with specific SASP factors secreted by senescent cells attracting and activating different components of both the innate and adaptive immune system.[58] The SASP cytokine CCL2 (MCP1) recruits macrophages to remove cancer cells.[61] Although transient expression of SASP can recruit immune system cells to eliminate cancer cells as well as senescent cells, chronic SASP promotes cancer.[62] Senescent hematopoietic stem cells produce a SASP that induces an M1 polarization of macrophages which kills the senescent cells in a p53-dependent process.[63]
SASP factors can maintain senescent cells in their senescent state of growth arrest, thereby preventing cancerous transformation.[64] Additionally, SASP secreted by cells that have become senescent because of stresses can induce senescence in adjoining cells subject to the same stresses, thereby reducing cancer risk.[26]
SASP can play a beneficial role by promoting wound healing.[65][66] SASP may play a role in tissue regeneration by signaling for senescent cell clearance by immune cells, allowing progenitor cells to repopulate tissue.[67] In development, SASP also may be used to signal for senescent cell clearance to aid tissue remodeling.[68] The ability of SASP to clear senescent cells and regenerate damaged tissue declines with age.[69] In contrast to the persistent character of SASP in the chronic inflammation of multiple age-related diseases, beneficial SASP in wound healing is transitory.[65][66] Temporary SASP in the liver or kidney can reduce fibrosis, but chronic SASP could lead to organ dysfunction.[70][71]
Modification
Senescent cells have permanently active mTORC1 irrespective of nutrients or growth factors, resulting in the continuous secretion of SASP.[72] By inhibiting mTORC1, rapamycin reduces SASP production by senescent cells.[72]
The protein hnRNPA1 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteinA1) antagonizes cellular senescence and induction of the SASP by stabilizing Oct-4 and sirtuin 1 mRNAs.[74][75]
SASP Index
A SASP index composed of 22 SASP factors has been used to evaluate treatment outcomes of late life depression.[76] Higher SASP index scores corresponded to increased incidence of treatment failure, whereas no individual SASP factors were associated with treatment failure.[76]
Chronic inflammation associated with aging has been termed inflammaging, although SASP may be only one of the possible causes of this condition.[77] Chronic systemic inflammation is associated with aging-associated diseases.[54]Senolytic agents have been recommended to counteract some of these effects.[11] Chronic inflammation due to SASP can suppress immune system function,[3] which is one reason elderly persons are more vulnerable to COVID-19.[78]
