Abstract
Cellular senescence can be activated by several stimuli, including ultraviolet radiation and air pollutants. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of marine algae compound 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3-BDB) on particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)-induced skin cell damage in vitro and in vivo. The human HaCaT keratinocyte was pre-treated with 3-BDB and then with PM2.5. PM2.5-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, apoptotic protein expression, and cellular senescence were measured using confocal microscopy, flow cytometry, and Western blot. The present study exhibited PM2.5-generated ROS, DNA damage, inflammation, and senescence. However, 3-BDB ameliorated PM2.5-induced ROS generation, mitochondria dysfunction, and DNA damage. Furthermore, 3-BDB reversed the PM2.5-induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, reduced cellular inflammation, and mitigated cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathway and activator protein 1 activated by PM2.5 were inhibited by 3-BDB. Thus, 3-BDB suppressed skin damage induced by PM2.5.

Abstract
According to the endosymbiotic theory, most of the DNA of the original bacterial endosymbiont has been lost or transferred to the nucleus, leaving a much smaller (∼16 kb in mammals), circular molecule that is the present-day mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The ability of mtDNA to escape mitochondria and integrate into the nuclear genome was discovered in budding yeast, along with genes that regulate this process. Mitochondria have emerged as key regulators of innate immunity, and it is now recognized that mtDNA released into the cytoplasm, outside of the cell, or into circulation activates multiple innate immune signaling pathways. Here, we first review the mechanisms through which mtDNA is released into the cytoplasm, including several inducible mitochondrial pores and defective mitophagy or autophagy. Next, we cover how the different forms of released mtDNA activate specific innate immune nucleic acid sensors and inflammasomes. Finally, we discuss how intracellular and extracellular mtDNA release, including circulating cell-free mtDNA that promotes systemic inflammation, are implicated in human diseases, bacterial and viral infections, senescence and aging.

Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common complication of diabetes that is clinically characterized by progressive albuminuria due to glomerular destruction. The etiology of DKD is multifactorial, and numerous studies have demonstrated that cellular senescence plays a significant role in its pathogenesis, but the specific mechanism requires further investigation. Methods This study utilized 5 datasets comprising 144 renal samples from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. We obtained cellular senescence-related pathways from the Molecular Signatures Database and evaluated the activity of senescence pathways in DKD patients using the Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) algorithm. Furthermore, we identified module genes related to cellular senescence pathways through Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) algorithm and used machine learning algorithms to screen for hub genes related to senescence. Subsequently, we constructed a cellular senescence-related signature (SRS) risk score based on hub genes using the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO), and verified mRNA levels of hub genes by RT-PCR in vivo. Finally, we validated the relationship between the SRS risk score and kidney function, as well as their association with mitochondrial function and immune infiltration. Results The activity of cellular senescence-related pathways was found to be elevated among DKD patients. Based on 5 hub genes (LIMA1, ZFP36, FOS, IGFBP6, CKB), a cellular senescence-related signature (SRS) was constructed and validated as a risk factor for renal function decline in DKD patients. Notably, patients with high SRS risk scores exhibited extensive inhibition of mitochondrial pathways and upregulation of immune cell infiltration. Conclusion Collectively, our findings demonstrated that cellular senescence is involved in the process of DKD, providing a novel strategy for treating DKD.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a cell state characterized by a generally irreversible cell cycle arrest, is implicated in various physiological processes and a wide range of age-related pathologies. Oxidative stress, a condition caused by an imbalance between the production and the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells and tissues, is a common driver of cellular senescence. ROS encompass free radicals and other molecules formed as byproducts of oxygen metabolism, which exhibit varying chemical reactivity. A prerequisite for the generation of strong oxidizing ROS that can damage macromolecules and impair cellular function is the availability of labile (redox-active) iron, which catalyzes the formation of highly reactive free radicals. Targeting labile iron has been proven an effective strategy to counteract the adverse effects of ROS, but evidence concerning cellular senescence is sparse. In the present review article, we discuss aspects of oxidative stress-induced cellular senescence, with special attention to the potential implication of labile iron.

Abstract
Aging is characterized by systemic chronic inflammation, which is accompanied by cellular senescence, immunosenescence, organ dysfunction, and age-related diseases. Given the multidimensional complexity of aging, there is an urgent need for a systematic organization of inflammaging through dimensionality reduction. Factors secreted by senescent cells, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), promote chronic inflammation and can induce senescence in normal cells. At the same time, chronic inflammation accelerates the senescence of immune cells, resulting in weakened immune function and an inability to clear senescent cells and inflammatory factors, which creates a vicious cycle of inflammation and senescence. Persistently elevated inflammation levels in organs such as the bone marrow, liver, and lungs cannot be eliminated in time, leading to organ damage and aging-related diseases. Therefore, inflammation has been recognized as an endogenous factor in aging, and the elimination of inflammation could be a potential strategy for anti-aging. Here we discuss inflammaging at the molecular, cellular, organ, and disease levels, and review current aging models, the implications of cutting-edge single cell technologies, as well as anti-aging strategies. Since preventing and alleviating aging-related diseases and improving the overall quality of life are the ultimate goals of aging research, our review highlights the critical features and potential mechanisms of inflammation and aging, along with the latest developments and future directions in aging research, providing a theoretical foundation for novel and practical anti-aging strategies.

Abstract
The accumulation of senescent cells in the aging individual is associated with an increase in the occurrence of age-associated pathologies that contribute to poor health, frailty, and mortality. The number and type of senescent cells is viewed as a contributor to the body's senescence burden. Cellular models of senescence are based on induction of senescence in cultured cells in the laboratory. One type of senescence is triggered by mitochondrial dysfunction. There are several indications that mitochondria defects contribute to body aging. Senotherapeutics, targeting senescent cells, have been shown to induce their lysis by means of senolytics, or repress expression of their secretome, by means of senomorphics, senostatics or gerosuppressors. An outline of the mechanism of action of various senotherapeutics targeting mitochondria and senescence-associated mitochondria dysfunction will be here addressed. The combination of geroprotective interventions together with senotherapeutics will help to strengthen mitochondrial energy metabolism, biogenesis and turnover, and lengthen the mitochondria healthspan, minimizing one of several molecular pathways contributing to the aging phenotype.

Abstract
Mitochondrial diseases represent the most common inherited neurometabolic disorders, for which no effective therapy currently exists for most patients. The unmet clinical need requires a more comprehensive understanding of the disease mechanisms and the development of reliable and robust in vivo models that accurately recapitulate human disease. This review aims to summarise and discuss various mouse models harbouring transgenic impairments in genes that regulate mitochondrial function, specifically their neurological phenotype and neuropathological features. Ataxia secondary to cerebellar impairment is one of the most prevalent neurological features of mouse models of mitochondrial dysfunction, consistent with the observation that progressive cerebellar ataxia is a common neurological manifestation in patients with mitochondrial disease. The loss of Purkinje neurons is a shared neuropathological finding in human post-mortem tissues and numerous mouse models. However, none of the existing mouse models recapitulate other devastating neurological phenotypes, such as refractory focal seizures and stroke-like episodes seen in patients. Additionally, we discuss the roles of reactive astrogliosis and microglial reactivity, which may be driving the neuropathology in some of the mouse models of mitochondrial dysfunction, as well as mechanisms through which cellular death may occur, beyond apoptosis, in neurons undergoing mitochondrial bioenergy crisis.

Abstract
Regulated cell death (RCD) is essential for successful systemic cancer therapy. Yet, the engagement of RCD pathways does not inevitably result in cell death. Instead, RCD pathways can take part in diverse biological processes if the cells survive. Consequently, these surviving cells, for which we propose the term 'flatliners', harbor important functions. These evolutionarily conserved responses can be exploited by cancer cells to promote their own survival and growth, with challenges and opportunities for cancer therapy.

Abstract
With an aging population and the numerous health impacts associated with old age, the identification of anti-aging drugs has become an important new research direction. Although mitochondria have been recognized to affect aging, anti-aging drugs specifically targeting the mitochondria are less well characterized. In this study, diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) was identified as a potential senomorphic drug that functions by promoting mitochondrial fission. DPI significantly reduced the number of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) positive cells and increased the number of proliferating Ki-67 positive cells in BrdU or irradiation stress-induced senescent NIH3T3 cells or IMR90 cells and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) replicative senescent cells. Cell cycle arrest genes and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors were downregulated with DPI treatment. In addition, the oxygen consumption rate (OCR) of mitochondrial respiration showed that DPI significantly reduced senescence-associated hyper OCR. Mechanistically, DPI promoted mitochondrial fission by enhancing AMPK/MFF phosphorylation and DRP1 mitochondrial translocation. Inhibition of DRP1 by Mdivi-1 abolished DPI-induced mitochondrial fission and the anti-senescence phenotype. Importantly, Eighty-eight-week-old mice treated with DPI had significantly reduced numbers of SA-β-gal positive cells and reduced expression of cell cycle arrest genes and SASP factors in their livers and kidneys. Pathological and functional assays showed DPI treatment not only reduced liver fibrosis and immune cell infiltration but also improved aged-related physical impairments in aged mice. Taken together, our study identified a potential anti-aging compound that exerts its effects through modulation of mitochondrial morphology.

Abstract
With advancing age, the skeletal muscle phenotype is characterized by a progressive loss of mass, strength, and quality. This phenomenon, known as sarcopenia, has a negative impact on quality of life and increases the risk of morbidity and mortality in older adults. Accumulating evidence suggests that damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria play a critical role in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia. Lifestyle modifications, such as physical activity, exercise, and nutrition, as well as medical interventions with therapeutic agents, are effective in the management of sarcopenia and offer solutions to maintain and improve skeletal muscle health. Although a great deal of effort has been devoted to the identification of the best treatment option, these strategies are not sufficient to overcome sarcopenia. Recently, it has been reported that mitochondrial transplantation may be a possible therapeutic approach for the treatment of mitochondria-related pathological conditions such as ischemia, liver toxicity, kidney injury, cancer, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Given the role of mitochondria in the function and metabolism of skeletal muscle, mitochondrial transplantation may be a possible option for the treatment of sarcopenia. In this review, we summarize the definition and characteristics of sarcopenia and molecular mechanisms associated with mitochondria that are known to contribute to sarcopenia. We also discuss mitochondrial transplantation as a possible option. Despite the progress made in the field of mitochondrial transplantation, further studies are needed to elucidate the role of mitochondrial transplantation in sarcopenia. KEY MESSAGES: Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and quality. Although the specific mechanisms that lead to sarcopenia are not fully understood, mitochondria have been identified as a key factor in the development of sarcopenia. Damaged and dysfunctional mitochondria initiate various cellular mediators and signaling pathways, which largely contribute to the age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Mitochondrial transplantation has been reported to be a possible option for the treatment/prevention of several diseases. Mitochondrial transplantation may be a possible therapeutic option for improving skeletal muscle health and treating sarcopenia.

Abstract
Aging-related salivary dysfunction typically causes reduced saliva volumes, which leads to debilitating consequences, even affecting patient quality of life. Understanding the respective clinicopathological characteristics and molecular mechanisms underlying salivary gland functioning during aging is vital for therapeutic purposes. Here, we provide a detailed atlas of the salivary gland microenvironment during aging, and we identified several phenotypes characteristic of aging salivary glands, including acini atrophy, increased inflammatory cells, altered immune responses, and accumulation of lysosomes and autophagosomes in aging cells, which may reflect progressive degeneration of salivary gland function. Furthermore, our analyses suggested significant enrichment of metabolic pathways in aging glands. Our results revealed complex cellular cross-talk among aging acinar cells, inflammatory factors, and immune responses. A natural aging animal model was established to verify these findings. This study provides mechanistic insights into age-related clinicopathogenesis, important implications for early diagnosis, and identification of new targets for improving salivary gland dysfunction.

One of the gold-standard hallmarks of a senescent cell is an increase in lysosomal content, as measured by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (Senβ-Gal) activity. The lysosome plays a central role in integrating mitogenic and stress cues to control cell metabolism, which is known to be dysregulated in senescence. Despite this, little is known about the cause and consequence of lysosomal biogenesis in senescence. We find here that lysosomes in senescent cells are dysfunctional; they have higher pH, increased evidence of membrane damage and reduced proteolytic capacity. The significant increase in lysosomal content is however sufficient to maintain degradative capacity of the cell to a level comparable to proliferating control cells. We demonstrate that increased nuclear TFEB/TFE3 supports lysosome biogenesis, is a hallmark of multiple forms of senescence and is required for senescent cell survival. TFEB/TFE3 are hypo-phosphorylated and show constitutive nuclear localisation in senescence. Evidence suggests that several pathways may contribute to TFEB/TFE3 dysregulation in senescence.

Abstract
Urolithin, intestinal microbiota metabolites of ellagitannin-rich foods, exhibit anti-aging activities. However, urolithin A is significantly superior to other types of urolithin with regard to this anti-aging function. This study aimed to screen edible urolithin A-producing strains of bacteria and explore the corresponding anti-aging efficacy of fermented products produced by these strains using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model. Our results showed that the Lactobacillus plantarum strains CCFM1286, CCFM1290, and CCFM1291 converted ellagitannin to produce urolithin A; the corresponding yields of urolithin A from these strains were 15.90 ± 1.46, 24.70 ± 0.82, and 32.01 ± 0.97 μM, respectively. Furthermore, it was found that the pomegranate juice extracts fermented by the CCFM1286, CCFM1290, and CCFM1291 strains of L. plantarum could extend lifespan by 26.04 ± 0.12, 32.05 ± 0.14, and 46.33 ± 0.12%, respectively, by improving mitochondrial function and/or reducing reactive oxygen species levels. These findings highlight the potential application of this fermentation in the subsequent development of anti-aging products.

Abstract
Mitochondria are one of the organelles undergoing rapid alteration during the senescence process. Senescent cells show an increase in mitochondrial size, which is attributed to the accumulation of defective mitochondria, which causes mitochondrial oxidative stress. Defective mitochondria are also targets of mitochondrial oxidative stress, and the vicious cycle between defective mitochondria and mitochondrial oxidative stress contributes to the onset and development of aging and age-related diseases. Based on the findings, strategies to reduce mitochondrial oxidative stress have been suggested for the effective treatment of aging and age-related diseases. In this article, we discuss mitochondrial alterations and the consequent increase in mitochondrial oxidative stress. Then, the causal role of mitochondrial oxidative stress on aging is investigated by examining how aging and age-related diseases are exacerbated by induced stress. Furthermore, we assess the importance of targeting mitochondrial oxidative stress for the regulation of aging and suggest different therapeutic strategies to reduce mitochondrial oxidative stress. Therefore, this review will not only shed light on a new perspective on the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in aging but also provide effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of aging and age-related diseases through the regulation of mitochondrial oxidative stress.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease characterized by mutations of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene, which lead to a dysfunctional chloride and bicarbonate channel. Abnormal mucus viscosity, persistent infections and hyperinflammation that preferentially affect the airways, referred to the pathogenesis of CF lung disease. It has largely demonstrated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) represents the most important pathogen that affect CF patients, leading to worsen inflammation by stimulating pro-inflammatory mediators release and tissue destruction. The conversion to mucoid phenotype and formation of biofilms, together with the increased frequency of mutations, are only few changes that characterize the P. aeruginosa's evolution during CF lung chronic infection. Recently, mitochondria received increasing attention due to their involvement in inflammatory-related diseases, including in CF. Alteration of mitochondrial homeostasis is sufficient to stimulate immune response. Exogenous or endogenous stimuli that perturb mitochondrial activity are used by cells, which, through the mitochondrial stress, potentiate immunity programs. Studies show the relationship between mitochondria and CF, supporting the idea that mitochondrial dysfunction endorses the exacerbation of inflammatory responses in CF lung. In particular, evidences suggest that mitochondria in CF airway cells are more susceptible to P. aeruginosa infection, with consequent detrimental effects that lead to amplify the inflammatory signals. This review discusses the evolution of P. aeruginosa in relationship with the pathogenesis of CF, a fundamental step to establish chronic infection in CF lung disease. Specifically, we focus on the role of P. aeruginosa in the exacerbation of inflammatory response, by triggering mitochondria in CF.

Abstract
Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBMSCs) are promising candidates for stem cell therapy in clinical trials. Applications of hBMSCs in clinical therapy are limited by cellular senescence due to long-term ex vivo expansion. Metformin, an oral hypoglycemic drug for type 2 diabetes, has been shown to have antiaging effects. However, the mechanisms of metformin in antiaging treatment remain controversial. Here, we used D-galactose (D-gal) to establish an appropriate model of senescent hBMSCs to explore the antiaging effects of metformin. Following metformin treatment with a low concentration range, senescence phenotypes induced by D-gal significantly changed, including generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), loss of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), and cell cycle arrest. In contrast, no apparent change was found in unsenescent hBMSCs. Furthermore, the results show that activation of 5'AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by metformin enhances cell autophagy in senescent hBMSCs. These findings suggest that metformin exerts antiaging function within the low concentration range by enhancing autophagy and exhibits potential benefits for clinical stem cell therapy by ameliorating the ex vivo replicative senescence of hBMSCs.

Abstract
In the past, mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) were considered a byproduct of cellular metabolism. Due to the capacity of mtROS to cause oxidative damage, they were proposed as the main drivers of ageing and age-related diseases. Today, we know that mtROS are cellular messengers instrumental in maintaining cellular homeostasis. As cellular messengers, they are produced in specific places at specific times, and the intensity and duration of the ROS signal determine the downstream effects of mitochondrial redox signalling. We do not know yet all the processes for which mtROS are important, but we have learnt that they are essential in decisions that affect cellular differentiation, proliferation and survival. On top of causing damage due to their capacity to oxidize cellular components, mtROS contribute to the onset of degenerative diseases when redox signalling becomes dysregulated. Here, we review the best-characterized signalling pathways in which mtROS participate and those pathological processes in which they are involved. We focus on how mtROS signalling is altered during ageing and discuss whether the accumulation of damaged mitochondria without signalling capacity is a cause or a consequence of ageing.

Abstract
Cellular senescence induces inflammation and is now considered one of the causes of organismal aging. Accumulating evidence indicates that age-related deterioration of mitochondrial function leads to an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage, which in turn causes cellular senescence. Thus, it is important to maintain mitochondrial function and suppress oxidative stress in order to inhibit the accumulation of senescent cells. Sesamin and its isomer episesamin are types of lignans found in sesame oil, and after being metabolized in the liver, their metabolites have been reported to exhibit antioxidant properties. However, their effects on cellular senescence remain unknown. In this study, the effects of sesamin, episesamin, and their metabolites SC1 and EC1-2 on replicative senescence were evaluated using human diploid lung fibroblasts, and TIG-3 cells. The results showed that sesamin and episesamin treatment had no effect on proliferative capacity compared to the untreated late passage group, whereas SC1 and EC1-2 treatment improved proliferative capacity and mitigated DNA damage of TIG-3 cells. Furthermore, other cellular senescence markers, such as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), mitochondria-derived ROS, and mitochondrial function (ROS/ATP ratio) were also reduced by SC1 and EC1-2 treatment. These results suggest that SC1 and EC1-2 can maintain proper mitochondrial function and suppress the induction of cellular senescence.

Abstract
Cardiac aging is evident by a reduction in function which subsequently contributes to heart failure. The metabolic microenvironment has been identified as a hallmark of malignancy, but recent studies have shed light on its role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Various metabolic pathways in cardiomyocytes and noncardiomyocytes determine cellular senescence in the aging heart. Metabolic alteration is a common process throughout cardiac degeneration. Importantly, the involvement of cellular senescence in cardiac injuries, including heart failure and myocardial ischemia and infarction, has been reported. However, metabolic complexity among human aging hearts hinders the development of strategies that targets metabolic susceptibility. Advances over the past decade have linked cellular senescence and function with their metabolic reprogramming pathway in cardiac aging, including autophagy, oxidative stress, epigenetic modifications, chronic inflammation, and myocyte systolic phenotype regulation. In addition, metabolic status is involved in crucial aspects of myocardial biology, from fibrosis to hypertrophy and chronic inflammation. However, further elucidation of the metabolism involvement in cardiac degeneration is still needed. Thus, deciphering the mechanisms underlying how metabolic reprogramming impacts cardiac aging is thought to contribute to the novel interventions to protect or even restore cardiac function in aging hearts. Here, we summarize emerging concepts about metabolic landscapes of cardiac aging, with specific focuses on why metabolic profile alters during cardiac degeneration and how we could utilize the current knowledge to improve the management of cardiac aging.

Abstract
Metabolic homeostasis balances the production and consumption of energetic molecules to maintain active, healthy cells. Cellular stress, which disrupts metabolism and leads to the loss of cellular homeostasis, is important in age-related diseases. We focus here on the role of organelle dysfunction in age-related diseases, including the roles of energy deficiencies, mitochondrial dysfunction, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, changes in metabolic flux in aging (e.g., Ca2+ and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and alterations in the endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria contact sites that regulate the trafficking of metabolites. Tools for single-cell resolution of metabolite pools and metabolic flux in animal models of aging and age-related diseases are urgently needed. High-resolution mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) provides a revolutionary approach for capturing the metabolic states of individual cells and cellular interactions without the dissociation of tissues. mass spectrometry imaging can be a powerful tool to elucidate the role of stress-induced cellular dysfunction in aging.

Abstract
The human retina serves as a light detector and signals transmission tissue. Advanced insights into retinal disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies require a deep understanding of healthy retina molecular events. Here, we sequenced the mRNA of over 0.6 million single cells from human retinas across six regions at nine different ages. Sixty cell sub-types have been identified from the human mature retinas with unique markers. We revealed regional and age differences of gene expression profiles within the human retina. Cell-cell interaction analysis indicated a rich synaptic connection within the retinal cells. Gene expression regulon analysis revealed the specific expression of transcription factors and their regulated genes in human retina cell types. Some of the gene's expression, such as DKK3, are elevated in aged retinas. A further functional investigation suggested that over expression of DKK3 could impact mitochondrial stability. Overall, decoding the molecular dynamic architecture of the human retina improves our understanding of the vision system.

Deterioration of mitochondrial biogenesis and degradation in the endometrium is a cause of subfertility in cows. Mol Reprod Dev 2023; 90:141-152. [PMID: 36645869 DOI: 10.1002/mrd.23670] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2022] [Revised: 12/02/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
To investigate possible causes of reproductive failure, we conducted global endometrial gene expression analyses in fertile and subfertile cows. Ingenuity pathway analysis showed that RICTOR and SIRT3 are significant upstream regulators for highly expressed genes in fertile cows, and are predicted to be activated upstream regulators of normal mitochondrial respiration. Canonical pathway analysis revealed that these highly expressed genes are involved in the activation of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, in subfertile cows, the inactivation of RICTOR and SIRT3 may correlate with decreased capacity of mitochondrial respiration. Furthermore, the expression levels of most mitochondrial DNA genes and nuclear genes encoding mitochondrial proteins were higher in subfertile cows. The mitochondrial DNA copy number was significantly higher in the endometrium of subfertile cows, whereas the ATP content did not differ between fertile and subfertile cows. Quantitative reverse transcription-PCR analysis demonstrated that the expression of PGC1a, TFAM, MFN1, FIS1, and BCL2L13 were significantly lower in subfertile cows. In addition, transmission electron microscopy images showed mitochondrial swelling in the endometrial cells of the subfertile cow. These results suggest that poor-quality mitochondria accumulate in the endometrium owing to a reduced capacity for mitochondrial biogenesis, fusion, fission, and degradation in subfertile cows, and may contribute to infertility.

Protein phosphatase 2A activators reverse age-related behavioral changes by targeting neural cell senescence. Aging Cell 2023; 22:e13780.

Abstract
The contribution of cellular senescence to the behavioral changes observed in the elderly remains elusive. Here, we observed that aging is associated with a decline in protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity in the brains of zebrafish and mice. Moreover, drugs activating PP2A reversed age-related behavioral changes. We developed a transgenic zebrafish model to decrease PP2A activity in the brain through knockout of the ppp2r2c gene encoding a regulatory subunit of PP2A. Mutant fish exhibited the behavioral phenotype observed in old animals and premature accumulation of neural cells positive for markers of cellular senescence, including senescence-associated β-galactosidase, elevated levels cdkn2a/b, cdkn1a, senescence-associated secretory phenotype gene expression, and an increased level of DNA damage signaling. The behavioral and cell senescence phenotypes were reversed in mutant fish through treatment with the senolytic ABT263 or diverse PP2A activators as well as through cdkn1a or tp53 gene ablation. Senomorphic function of PP2A activators was demonstrated in mouse primary neural cells with downregulated Ppp2r2c. We conclude that PP2A reduction leads to neural cell senescence thereby contributing to age-related behavioral changes and that PP2A activators have senotherapeutic properties against deleterious behavioral effects of brain aging.

Abstract
Senescence is a multi-functional cell fate, characterized by an irreversible cell-cycle arrest and a pro-inflammatory phenotype, commonly known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Emerging evidence indicates that accumulation of senescent cells in multiple tissues drives tissue dysfunction and several age-related conditions. This has spurred the academic community and industry to identify new therapeutic interventions targeting this process. Mitochondrial dysfunction is an often-unappreciated hallmark of cellular senescence which plays important roles not only in the senescence growth arrest but also in the development of the SASP and resistance to cell-death. Here, we review the evidence that supports a role for mitochondria in the development of senescence and describe the underlying mechanisms. Finally, we propose that a detailed road map of mitochondrial biology in senescence will be crucial to guide the future development of senotherapies.

Abstract
Senescence occurs in response to various stimuli. Senescence has attracted attention because of its potential use in anticancer therapy as it plays a tumor-suppressive role. It also promotes tumorigeneses and therapeutic resistance. Since senescence can induce therapeutic resistance, targeting senescence may help to overcome therapeutic resistance. This review provides the mechanisms of senescence induction and the roles of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in various life processes, including therapeutic resistance and tumorigenesis. The SASP exerts pro-tumorigenic or antitumorigenic effects in a context-dependent manner. This review also discusses the roles of autophagy, histone deacetylases (HDACs), and microRNAs in senescence. Many reports have suggested that targeting HDACs or miRNAs could induce senescence, which, in turn, could enhance the effects of current anticancer drugs. This review presents the view that senescence induction is a powerful method of inhibiting cancer cell proliferation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) is a pathological stage in the Correa's cascade, whereby Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is the primary cause. Cellular senescence is an inducing factor for cancer occurrence and cellular senescence is an obvious phenomenon in gastric mucosal tissues of H. pylori-positive CAG patients. METHODS In this review, we collated the information on cellular senescence and H. pylori-positive CAG. RESULTS At present, only a few studies have observed the effect of cellular senescence on precancerous lesions. In combination with the latest research, this review has collated the information on cellular senescence and H. pylori-positive CAG from four aspects- telomere shortening, DNA methylation, increased reacive oxygen species (ROS) production, and failure of autophagy. CONCLUSION This is expected to be helpful for exploring the relevant mechanisms underlying inflammatory cancerous transformation and formulating appropriate treatment strategies.

Abstract
Cellular senescence was first described as a state characterized by telomere shortening, resulting in limiting cell proliferation in aging. Apart from this type of senescence, which is called replicative senescence, other senescence types occur after exposure to different stress factors. One of these types of senescence induced after adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) is called therapy-induced senescence. The treatment with chemotherapeutics induces cellular senescence in normal and cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment. Thus therapy-induced senescence in the cancer microenvironment is accepted one of the drivers of tumor progression. Recent studies have revealed that senescence-associated secretory phenotype induction has roles in pathological processes such as inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition and promoting tumor vascularization. Thus senolytic drugs that specifically kill senescent cells and senomorphic drugs that inhibit the secretory activity of senescent cells are seen as a new approach in cancer treatment. Developing and discovering new senotherapeutic agents targeting senescent cells is also gaining importance. In this review, we attempt to summarize the signaling pathways regarding the metabolism, cell morphology, and organelles of the senescent cell. Furthermore, we also reviewed the effects of SASP in the cancer microenvironment and the senotherapeutics that have the potential to be used as adjuvant therapy in cancer treatment.

Abstract
Ageing is accompanied by a progressive impairment of cellular function and a systemic deterioration of tissues and organs, resulting in increased vulnerability to multiple diseases. Here, we review the interplay between two hallmarks of ageing, namely, mitochondrial dysfunction and cellular senescence. The targeting of specific mitochondrial features in senescent cells has the potential of delaying or even reverting the ageing process. A deeper and more comprehensive understanding of mitochondrial biology in senescent cells is necessary to effectively face this challenge. Here, we discuss the main alterations in mitochondrial functions and structure in both ageing and cellular senescence, highlighting the differences and similarities between the two processes. Moreover, we describe the treatments available to target these pathways and speculate on possible future directions of anti-ageing and anti-senescence therapies targeting mitochondria.

Abstract
Aging is the most prominent risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Aging associates with a chronic inflammatory state both in the periphery and in the central nervous system, the evidence thereof and the mechanisms leading to chronic neuroinflammation being discussed. Nonetheless, neuroinflammation is significantly enhanced by the accumulation of amyloid beta and accelerates the progression of Alzheimer's disease through various pathways discussed in the present review. Decades of clinical trials targeting the 2 abnormal proteins in Alzheimer's disease, amyloid beta and tau, led to many failures. As such, targeting neuroinflammation via different strategies could prove a valuable therapeutic strategy, although much research is still needed to identify the appropriate time window. Active research focusing on identifying early biomarkers could help translating these novel strategies from bench to bedside.

Abstract
Irreversible cell-cycle-arrested cells not undergoing cell divisions have been thought to be metabolically less active because of the unnecessary consumption of energy for cell division. On the other hand, they might be actively involved in the tissue microenvironment through an inflammatory response. In this study, we examined the mitochondria-dependent metabolism in human cells irreversibly arrested in response to ionizing radiation to confirm this possibility. Human primary WI-38 fibroblast cells and the BJ-5ta fibroblast-like cell line were exposed to 20 Gy X-rays and cultured for up to 9 days after irradiation. The mitochondrial morphology and membrane potential were evaluated in the cells using the mitochondrial-specific fluorescent reagents MitoTracker Green (MTG) and 5,5',6,6'-tetraethyl-benzimidazolylcarbocyanine iodide (JC-1), respectively. The ratio of the mean MTG-stained total mitochondrial area per unit cell area decreased for up to 9 days after X-irradiation. The fraction of the high mitochondrial membrane potential area visualized by JC-1 staining reached its minimum 2 days after irradiation and then increased (particularly, WI-38 cells increased 1.8-fold the value of the control). Their chronological changes indicate that the mitochondrial volume in the irreversible cell-cycle-arrested cells showed significant increase concurrently with cellular volume expansion, indicating that the mitochondria-dependent energy metabolism was still active. These results indicate that the energy metabolism in X-ray-induced senescent-like cells is active compared to nonirradiated normal cells, even though they do not undergo cell divisions.

Abstract
Cellular senescence has become a subject of great interest within the ageing research field over the last 60 years, from the first observation in vitro by Leonard Hayflick and Paul Moorhead in 1961, to novel findings of phenotypic sub-types and senescence-like phenotype in post-mitotic cells. It has essential roles in wound healing, tumour suppression and the very first stages of human development, while causing widespread damage and dysfunction with age leading to a raft of age-related diseases. This chapter discusses these roles and their interlinking pathways, and how the observed accumulation of senescent cells with age has initiated a whole new field of ageing research, covering pathologies in the heart, liver, kidneys, muscles, brain and bone. This chapter will also examine how senescent cell accumulation presents in these different tissues, along with their roles in disease development. Finally, there is much focus on developing treatments for senescent cell accumulation in advanced age as a method of alleviating age-related disease. We will discuss here the various senolytic and senostatic treatment approaches and their successes and limitations, and the innovative new strategies being developed to address the differing effects of cellular senescence in ageing and disease.

Abstract
During ageing molecular damage leads to the accumulation of several hallmarks of ageing including mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, genetic instability and chronic inflammation, which contribute to the development and progression of ageing-associated diseases including cardiovascular disease. Consequently, understanding how these hallmarks of biological ageing interact with the cardiovascular system and each other is fundamental to the pursuit of improving cardiovascular health globally. This review provides an overview of our current understanding of how candidate hallmarks contribute to cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease and subsequent myocardial infarction, and age-related heart failure. Further, we consider the evidence that, even in the absence of chronological age, acute cellular stress leading to accelerated biological ageing expedites cardiovascular dysfunction and impacts on cardiovascular health. Finally, we consider the opportunities that modulating hallmarks of ageing offer for the development of novel cardiovascular therapeutics.

Abstract
We investigated the role of zinc-finger protein 281 (ZNF281), a novel molecule, in ethanol-induced hepatocyte senescence and uncovered the potential mechanism. Real-time PCR, Western blot, immunofluorescence staining, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were performed to explore the role of ZNF281 in hepatocyte senescence. ZNF281 expression was upregulated in both alcohol-fed mice livers and ethanol-treated hepatocytes. Silence of ZNF281 in hepatocytes using siRNA mitigated ethanol-caused decrease in cell viability and increased release of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase. ZNF281 siRNA reduced senescence-associated β-galactosidase-positive cells under ethanol exposure, abolished cell cycle arrest at G0/G1 phase, and diminished senescence-associated secretory phenotype and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-6) release. At molecular level, ZNF281 deficiency altered the expression profile of senescence-associated proteins including p53, p21, p16, high mobility group AT-hook 1, and phospho-histone H2A.X and telomerase-associated regulatory factors including telomerase reverse transcriptase, telomeric repeat binding factor 1 (TRF1), and TRF2. ZNF281 knockdown promoted hepatocyte recovery from ethanol-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and ROS production, which was correlated with rescuing HK2-PINK1/Parkin signalling-mediated mitophagy. Mechanistically, ZNF281 directly bound to 5'-GGCGGCGGGCGG-3' motif within HK2 promoter region and transcriptionally repressed HK2 expression. Systematic ZNF281 knockdown by adeno-associated virus encoding ZNF281 shRNA protected mice from alcohol feeding-caused hepatocyte injury and senescence. This study provides a novel factor ZNF281 as a driver of hepatocyte senescence during alcoholic liver disease.

Bresilla D, Habisch H, Pritišanac I, Zarse K, Parichatikanond W, Ristow M, Madl T, Madreiter-Sokolowski CT. The sex-specific metabolic signature of C57BL/6NRj mice during aging. Sci Rep 2022; 12:21050. [PMID: 36473898 PMCID: PMC9726821 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25396-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to intact reactive oxygen species homeostasis and glucose metabolism, C57BL/6NRj mice are especially suitable to study cellular alterations in metabolism. We applied Nuclear Magnetic resonance spectroscopy to analyze five different tissues of this mouse strain during aging and included female and male mice aged 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. Metabolite signatures allowed separation between the age groups in all tissues, and we identified the most prominently changing metabolites in female and male tissues. A refined analysis of individual metabolite levels during aging revealed an early onset of age-related changes at 6 months, sex-specific differences in the liver, and a biphasic pattern for various metabolites in the brain, heart, liver, and lung. In contrast, a linear decrease of amino acids was apparent in muscle tissues. Based on these results, we assume that age-related metabolic alterations happen at a comparably early aging state and are potentially associated with a metabolic switch. Moreover, identified differences between female and male tissues stress the importance of distinguishing between sexes when studying age-related changes and developing new treatment approaches. Besides, metabolomic features seem to be highly dependent on the genetic background of mouse strains.

Abstract
Cells respond to many stressors by senescing, acquiring stable growth arrest, morphologic and metabolic changes, and a proinflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype. The heterogeneity of senescent cells (SnCs) and senescence-associated secretory phenotype are vast, yet ill characterized. SnCs have diverse roles in health and disease and are therapeutically targetable, making characterization of SnCs and their detection a priority. The Cellular Senescence Network (SenNet), a National Institutes of Health Common Fund initiative, was established to address this need. The goal of SenNet is to map SnCs across the human lifespan to advance diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve human health. State-of-the-art methods will be applied to identify, define and map SnCs in 18 human tissues. A common coordinate framework will integrate data to create four-dimensional SnC atlases. Other key SenNet deliverables include innovative tools and technologies to detect SnCs, new SnC biomarkers and extensive public multi-omics datasets. This Perspective lays out the impetus, goals, approaches and products of SenNet.

Abstract
Successful implantation requires a fine-tuned dialog between the invading embryo and the maternal endometrium. Recently, we discovered that premature senescence of endometrial stromal cells (EnSC) might mediate improper decidual transformation of endometrial tissue and impair endometrial-blastocyst interaction. Here, we show that senescent EnSC are characterized by elevated intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that originate from mitochondrial dysfunction and insufficient antioxidant defense. Decidualization of senescent EnSC is defective and is accompanied by the elevated intracellular and mitochondrial ROS levels. Antioxidant defense during decidualization is significantly less efficient in senescent EnSC compared to healthy ones. Senescent EnSC secrete increased amounts of ROS into the extracellular space. Elevated ROS released by senescent EnSC shift the redox balance and induce DNA damage in the neighboring trophoblast-like cells. In an in vitro implantation model, we observed impaired spreading of blastocyst-like spheroids into a monolayer of decidualizing senescent EnSC, which could be compensated by pretreatment of the senescent cells with the antioxidant, Tempol. Hence, we propose a possible mechanism that might be responsible, at least in part, for the defective embryo implantation realized via ROS transmitting from senescent EnSC to trophoblast cells. Such transmission results in the accumulation of ROS and subsequent DNA damage in trophoblastic cells, which might lead to improper migration and invasion of an embryo. In light of these findings, the application of antioxidants prior to implantation might be a promising strategy to improve implantation efficiency.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction, a hallmark of aging, has been associated with the onset of aging phenotypes and age-related diseases. Here, we report that impaired mitochondrial function is associated with increased glutamine catabolism in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and myofibroblasts derived from patients suffering from Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Increased glutaminase (GLS1) activity accompanied by loss of urea transporter SLC14A1 induces urea accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA damage. Conversely, blocking GLS1 activity restores mitochondrial function and leads to amelioration of aging hallmarks. Interestingly, GLS1 expression is regulated through the JNK pathway, as demonstrated by chemical and genetic inhibition. In agreement with our in vitro findings, tissues isolated from aged or progeria mice display increased urea accumulation and GLS1 activity, concomitant with declined mitochondrial function. Inhibition of glutaminolysis in progeria mice improves mitochondrial respiratory chain activity, suggesting that targeting glutaminolysis may be a promising strategy for restoring age-associated loss of mitochondrial function.

Abstract
Years of important research has revealed that cells heavily invest in regulating their size. Nevertheless, it has remained unclear why accurate size control is so important. Our recent study using hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in vivo indicates that cellular enlargement is causally associated with aging. Here, we present an overview of these findings and their implications. Furthermore, we performed a broad literature analysis to evaluate the potential of cellular enlargement as a new aging hallmark and to examine its connection to previously described aging hallmarks. Finally, we highlight interesting work presenting a correlation between cell size and age-related diseases. Taken together, we found mounting evidence linking cellular enlargement to aging and age-related diseases. Therefore, we encourage researchers from seemingly unrelated areas to take a fresh look at their data from the perspective of cell size.

Abstract
The analogy of mitochondria as powerhouses has expired. Mitochondria are living, dynamic, maternally inherited, energy-transforming, biosynthetic, and signaling organelles that actively transduce biological information. We argue that mitochondria are the processor of the cell, and together with the nucleus and other organelles they constitute the mitochondrial information processing system (MIPS). In a three-step process, mitochondria (1) sense and respond to both endogenous and environmental inputs through morphological and functional remodeling; (2) integrate information through dynamic, network-based physical interactions and diffusion mechanisms; and (3) produce output signals that tune the functions of other organelles and systemically regulate physiology. This input-to-output transformation allows mitochondria to transduce metabolic, biochemical, neuroendocrine, and other local or systemic signals that enhance organismal adaptation. An explicit focus on mitochondrial signal transduction emphasizes the role of communication in mitochondrial biology. This framework also opens new avenues to understand how mitochondria mediate inter-organ processes underlying human health.

Abstract
Senescent cells can drive age-related tissue dysfunction partially via a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) involving proinflammatory and profibrotic factors. Cellular senescence has been associated with a structural and functional decline during normal lung aging and age-related diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Asthma in the elderly (AIE) represents a major healthcare burden. AIE is associated with bronchial airway hyperresponsiveness and remodeling, which involves increased cell proliferation and higher rates of fibrosis, and resistant to standard therapy. Airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells play a major role in asthma such as remodeling via modulation of inflammation and the extracellular matrix (ECM) environment. Whether senescent ASM cells accumulate in AIE and contribute to airway structural or functional changes is unknown. Lung tissues from elderly persons with asthma showed greater airway fibrosis compared with age-matched elderly persons with nonasthma and young age controls. Lung tissue or isolated ASM cells from elderly persons with asthma showed increased expression of multiple senescent markers including phospho-p53, p21, telomere-associated foci (TAF), as well as multiple SASP components. Senescence and SASP components were also increased with aging per se. These data highlight the presence of cellular senescence in AIE that may contribute to airway remodeling.

Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction has been reported in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Transfer of mitochondria from mesenchymal stem cells to airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) can attenuate oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial damage. It is not known whether mitochondrial transfer can occur between structural cells in the lungs or what role this may have in modulating bioenergetics and cellular function in healthy and COPD airways. Here, we show that ASMCs from both healthy ex-smokers and subjects with COPD can exchange mitochondria, a process that happens, at least partly, via extracellular vesicles. Exposure to cigarette smoke induces mitochondrial dysfunction and leads to an increase in the donation of mitochondria by ASMCs, suggesting that the latter may be a stress response mechanism. Healthy ex-smoker ASMCs that receive mitochondria show increases in mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration and a reduction in cell proliferation, irrespective of whether the mitochondria are transferred from healthy ex-smoker or COPD ASMCs. Our data indicate that mitochondrial transfer between structural cells is a homeostatic mechanism for the regulation of bioenergetics and cellular function within the airways and may represent an endogenous mechanism for reversing the functional consequences of mitochondrial dysfunction in diseases such as COPD.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a ubiquitous process with roles in tissue remodelling, including wound repair and embryogenesis. However, prolonged senescence can be maladaptive, leading to cancer development and age-related diseases. Cellular senescence involves cell-cycle arrest and the release of inflammatory cytokines with autocrine, paracrine and endocrine activities. Senescent cells also exhibit morphological alterations, including flattened cell bodies, vacuolization and granularity in the cytoplasm and abnormal organelles. Several biomarkers of cellular senescence have been identified, including SA-βgal, p16 and p21; however, few markers have high sensitivity and specificity. In addition to driving ageing, senescence of immune and parenchymal cells contributes to the development of a variety of diseases and metabolic disorders. In the kidney, senescence might have beneficial roles during development and recovery from injury, but can also contribute to the progression of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Therapies that target senescence, including senolytic and senomorphic drugs, stem cell therapies and other interventions, have been shown to extend lifespan and reduce tissue injury in various animal models. Early clinical trials confirm that senotherapeutic approaches could be beneficial in human disease. However, larger clinical trials are needed to translate these approaches to patient care.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common complication of diabetes. DR is characterized by damage to retinal vasculature resulting in vision impairment and, if untreated, could eventually lead to blindness. The pathogenic mechanism of DR is complex; emerging studies suggest that premature senescence of retinal cells and subsequent secretion of inflammatory cytokines exacerbate DR disease state by stimulating paracrine senescence, pathological angiogenesis, and reparative vascular regeneration. Senolytics are a new class of drugs that can selectively clear out senescent cells from the retina, thus holding a significant promise in DR treatment and prevention. In this review, we discuss the critical role of cellular senescence in DR’s pathogenesis; A literature review was conducted in September of 2021 to explore the therapeutic potential of senolytics in the treatment of DR. Studies that were relevant to the research topic were selected through multiple keyword searches in the search engine, PubMed and thoroughly reviewed using abstracts and full-text articles. We present evidence from animal models for studying cellular senescence in DR and discuss multiple pathogenic mechanisms in cellular senescence and its involvement in DR. We also discuss the current state of pharmaceutical development at preclinical and clinical stages focusing on the senolytic drugs navitoclax, 17-DMAG, piperlongumine, UBX-1325, dasatinib quercetin, and fisetin. In particular, UBX-1325 holds a promising prospect for DR treatment based on the positive outcome of early clinical studies in individuals with diabetic macular edema (DME) and wet age-related macular degeneration.

Abstract
While at the organismal level, biological aging can be estimated by telomere length and DNA methylation signatures, reliable biomarkers that can predict reproductive age are much needed to gauge the quality of an oocyte. Reproductive medicine and fertility centers often merely quantitate the ovarian reserve to predict the likelihood of fertilization and pregnancy in women of advanced reproductive age. It is highly important to address the level of age-related decline in oocyte quality since it leads to an increased risk of miscarriages and aneuploidy. Conversely, the pathways behind oocyte aging remain, in large part, elusive. Telomere shortening upon chronic stress exposure regulates mitochondria function and biogenesis by various pathways; therefore, establishing a link between these two important players and extrapolating them for the aging of oocytes will be the purpose of our commentary.

Abstract
Aging is a natural but relentless process of physiological decline, leading to physical frailty, reduced ability to respond to physical stresses (resilience) and, ultimately, organismal death. Cellular senescence, a self-defensive mechanism activated in response to intrinsic stimuli and/or exogenous stress, is one of the central hallmarks of aging. Senescent cells cease to proliferate, while remaining metabolically active and secreting numerous extracellular factors, a feature known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. Senescence is physiologically important for embryonic development, tissue repair, and wound healing, and prevents carcinogenesis. However, chronic accumulation of persisting senescent cells contributes to a host of pathologies including age-related morbidities. By paracrine and endocrine mechanisms, senescent cells can induce inflammation locally and systemically, thereby causing tissue dysfunction, and organ degeneration. Agents including those targeting damaging components of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype or inducing apoptosis of senescent cells exhibit remarkable benefits in both preclinical models and early clinical trials for geriatric conditions. Here we summarize features of senescent cells and outline strategies holding the potential to be developed as clinical interventions. In the long run, there is an increasing demand for safe, effective, and clinically translatable senotherapeutics to address healthcare needs in current settings of global aging.

Mitochondrial ROS signalling requires uninterrupted electron flow and is lost during ageing in flies. GeroScience 2022; 44:1961-1974.

Abstract
Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) are cellular messengers essential for cellular homeostasis. In response to stress, reverse electron transport (RET) through respiratory complex I generates high levels of mtROS. Suppression of ROS production via RET (ROS-RET) reduces survival under stress, while activation of ROS-RET extends lifespan in basal conditions. Here, we demonstrate that ROS-RET signalling requires increased electron entry and uninterrupted electron flow through the electron transport chain (ETC). We find that in old fruit flies, ROS-RET is abolished when electron flux is decreased and that their mitochondria produce consistently high levels of mtROS. Finally, we demonstrate that in young flies, limiting electron exit, but not entry, from the ETC phenocopies mtROS generation observed in old individuals. Our results elucidate the mechanism by which ROS signalling is lost during ageing.
