Abstract
Outcomes for women with breast cancer have improved dramatically in recent decades. However, many patients present with intrinsic drug resistance and others are initially sensitive to anti-cancer drugs but acquire resistance during the course of their treatment, leading to recurrence and/or metastasis. Drug therapy-induced senescence (TIS) is a form of drug resistance characterised by the induction of cell cycle arrest and the emergence of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that can develop in response to chemo- and targeted- therapies. A wide range of anticancer interventions can lead to cell cycle arrest and SASP induction, by inducing genotoxic stress, hyperactivation of signalling pathways or oxidative stress. TIS can be anti-tumorigenic in the short-term, but pro-tumorigenic in the long-term by creating a pro-inflammatory and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Moreover, the SASP can promote angiogenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in neighbouring cells. In this review, we will describe the characteristics of TIS in breast cancer and detail the changes in phenotype that accompany its induction. We also discuss strategies for targeting senescent cancer cells in order to prevent or delay tumour recurrence.

Park SC, Lee YS, Cho KA, Kim SY, Lee YI, Lee SR, Lim IK. What matters in aging is signaling for responsiveness. Pharmacol Ther 2023; 252:108560. [PMID: 37952903 DOI: 10.1016/j.pharmthera.2023.108560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/04/2023] [Revised: 10/03/2023] [Accepted: 11/06/2023] [Indexed: 11/14/2023]
Abstract
Biological responsiveness refers to the capacity of living organisms to adapt to changes in both their internal and external environments through physiological and behavioral mechanisms. One of the prominent aspects of aging is the decline in this responsiveness, which can lead to a deterioration in the processes required for maintenance, survival, and growth. The vital link between physiological responsiveness and the essential life processes lies within the signaling systems. To devise effective strategies for controlling the aging process, a comprehensive reevaluation of this connecting loop is imperative. This review aims to explore the impact of aging on signaling systems responsible for responsiveness and introduce a novel perspective on intervening in the aging process by restoring the compromised responsiveness. These innovative mechanistic approaches for modulating altered responsiveness hold the potential to illuminate the development of action plans aimed at controlling the aging process and treating age-related disorders.

Abstract
As the unique cell type in articular cartilage, chondrocyte senescence is a crucial cellular event contributing to osteoarthritis development. Here we show that clathrin-mediated endocytosis and activation of Notch signaling promotes chondrocyte senescence and osteoarthritis development, which is negatively regulated by myosin light chain 3. Myosin light chain 3 (MYL3) protein levels decline sharply in senescent chondrocytes of cartilages from model mice and osteoarthritis (OA) patients. Conditional deletion of Myl3 in chondrocytes significantly promoted, whereas intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus overexpressing MYL3 delayed, OA progression in male mice. MYL3 deficiency led to enhanced clathrin-mediated endocytosis by promoting the interaction between myosin VI and clathrin, further inducing the internalization of Notch and resulting in activation of Notch signaling in chondrocytes. Pharmacologic blockade of clathrin-mediated endocytosis-Notch signaling prevented MYL3 loss-induced chondrocyte senescence and alleviated OA progression in male mice. Our results establish a previously unknown mechanism essential for cellular senescence and provide a potential therapeutic direction for OA.

Abstract
Senescent cells accumulate in multicellular animals with aging, resulting in organ or tissue dysfunction. These alterations increase the incidence of a variety of illnesses, including infectious diseases, and, in certain instances, its severity. In search of a rationale for this phenomenon, we focused on the endophagocytic pathway in senescent cells. We first described the endocytic vesicle populations at different stages of maturation using confocal microscopy. There was an increase in the number of vacuoles per cell, which was partially explained by an increase in cell size. No changes in vesicle maturation or degradation capacities were determined by microscopy or Western blot assays. Also, we studied the internalization of various endophagocytic cargoes in senescent cells and observed only a decrease in the intracellular recovery of bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus. Afterwards, we studied the intracellular traffic of S. aureus, and observed no differences in the infection between control and senescent cells. In addition we quantified the recovery of bacteria from control and senescent cells infected in the presence of several inhibitors of endophagosomal maturation, and no changes were observed. These results suggest that bacterial internalization is affected in senescent cells. Indeed, we confirmed this hypothesis by determining minor bacterial adherence and internalization by confocal microscopy. Furthermore, it is important to highlight that we found very similar results with cells from aged animals, specifically BMDMs. This alteration in senescent cells enlightens the diminished bacterial clearance and may be a factor that increases the propensity to suffer severe infectious conditions in the elderly.

Abstract
Cellular senescence occurs in response to diverse stresses (e.g., telomere shortening, DNA damage, oxidative stress, oncogene activation). A growing body of evidence indicates that alterations in multiple components of endocytic pathways contribute to cellular senescence. Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) and caveolae-mediated endocytosis (CavME) represent major types of endocytosis that are implicated in senescence. More recent research has also identified a chromatin modifier and tumor suppressor that contributes to the induction of senescence via altered endocytosis. Here, molecular regulators of aberrant endocytosis-induced senescence are reviewed and discussed in the context of their capacity to serve as senescence-inducing stressors or modifiers.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has emerged as a major cause of cancer-related death and is the most common type of liver cancer. Due to the current paucity of drugs for HCC therapy there is a pressing need to develop new therapeutic concepts. In recent years, the role of Serum Response Factor (SRF) and its coactivators, Myocardin-Related Transcription Factors A and B (MRTF-A and -B), in HCC formation and progression has received considerable attention. Targeting MRTFs results in HCC growth arrest provoked by oncogene-induced senescence. The induction of senescence acts as a tumor-suppressive mechanism and therefore gains consideration for pharmacological interventions in cancer therapy. In this article, we describe the key features and the functional role of senescence in light of the development of novel drug targets for HCC therapy with a focus on MRTFs.

Abstract
Cellular senescence can be triggered by various intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. We previously reported that silencing of 3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate synthetase 2 (PAPSS2) induces cellular senescence through augmented fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) signaling. However, the exact molecular mechanism connecting heparan sulfation and cellular senescence remains unclear. Here, we investigated the potential involvement of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) in augmented FGFR1 signaling and cellular senescence. Depletion of several types of HSPGs revealed that cells depleted of syndecan 1 (SDC1) exhibited typical senescence phenotypes, and those depleted of PAPSS2-, SDC1-, or heparan sulfate 2-O sulfotransferase 1 (HS2ST1) showed decreased FGFR1 internalization along with hyperresponsiveness to and prolonged activation of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2)-stimulated FGFR1- v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog (AKT) signaling. Clathrin- and caveolin-mediated FGFR1 endocytosis contributed to cellular senescence through the FGFR1-AKT-p53-p21 signaling pathway. Dynasore treatment triggered senescence phenotypes, augmented FGFR1-AKT-p53-p21 signaling, and decreased SDC1 expression. Finally, the replicatively and prematurely senescent cells were characterized by decreases of SDC1 expression and FGFR1 internalization, and an increase in FGFR1-AKT-p53-p21 signaling. Together, our results demonstrate that properly sulfated SDC1 plays a critical role in preventing cellular senescence through the regulation of FGFR1 endocytosis.

Abstract
Bioinformatic and functional data link integrin-mediated cell adhesion to cellular senescence; however, the significance of and molecular mechanisms behind these connections are unknown. We now report that the focal adhesion-localized βPAK-interacting exchange factor (βPIX)-G protein-coupled receptor kinase interacting protein (GIT) complex controls cellular senescence in vitro and in vivo. βPIX and GIT levels decline with age. βPIX knockdown induces cellular senescence, which was prevented by reexpression. Loss of βPIX induced calpain cleavage of the endocytic adapter amphiphysin 1 to suppress clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME); direct competition of GIT1/2 for the calpain-binding site on paxillin mediates this effect. Decreased CME and thus integrin endocytosis induced abnormal integrin signaling, with elevated reactive oxygen species production. Blocking integrin signaling inhibited senescence in human fibroblasts and mouse lungs in vivo. These results reveal a central role for integrin signaling in cellular senescence, potentially identifying a new therapeutic direction.

Abstract
Clinical translation of nanotechnologies has limited success, at least in part, due to the existence of several overlooked factors on the nature of the nanosystem (e.g., physicochemical properties of nanoparticles), nanobio interfaces (e.g., protein corona composition), and the cellular characteristics (e.g., cell type). In the past decade, several ignored factors including personalized and disease-specific protein corona (a layer of formed biomolecules at the surface of nanoparticles upon their entrance into a biological fluid), incubating temperature, local temperature gradient, cell shape, and cell sex has been introduced. Here, it was hypothesized and validated cell age as another overlooked factor in the field of nanomedicine. To test our hypothesis, cellular toxicity and uptake profiles of our model nanoparticles (i.e., PEGylated quantum dots, QDs) were probed in young and senescent cells (i.e., IMR90 fibroblast cells from human fetal lung and CCD841CoN epithelial cells from human fetal colon) and the outcomes revealed substantial dependency of cell-nanoparticles interactions to the cell age. For example, it was observed that the PEGylated QDs were acutely toxic to senescent IMR90 and CCD841CoN cells, leading to lysosomal membrane permeabilization which caused cell necrosis; in contrast, the young cells were resilient to the exact same amount of QDs and the same incubation time. It was also found that the formation of protein corona could delay the QDs' toxicity on senescent cells. These findings suggest that the cellular aging process have a capacity to cause deteriorative effects on their organelles and normal functions. The outcomes of this study suggest the proof-of-concept that cell age may have critical role in biosystem responses to nanoparticle technologies. Therefore, the effect of cell age should be carefully considered on the nanobio interactions and the information about cellular age (e.g., passage number and age of the cell donor) should be included in the nanomedicine papers to facilitate clinical translation of nanotechnologies and to help scientists to better design and produce safe and efficient diagnostic/therapeutic age-specific nanoparticles.

Abstract
Endocytosis mediates nutrient uptake, receptor internalization and the regulation of cell signaling. It is also hijacked by many bacteria, viruses and toxins to mediate their cellular entry. Several endocytic routes exist in parallel, fulfilling different functions. Most studies on endocytosis have used transformed cells in culture. However, as the majority of cells in an adult body have exited the cell cycle, our understanding is biased towards proliferating cells. Here, we review the evidence for the different pathways of endocytosis not only in dividing, but also in quiescent, senescent and terminally differentiated cells. During mitosis, residual endocytosis is dedicated to the internalization of caveolae and specific receptors. In non-dividing cells, clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) functions, but the activity of alternative processes, such as caveolae, macropinocytosis and clathrin-independent routes, vary widely depending on cell types and functions. Endocytosis supports the quiescent state by either upregulating cell cycle arrest pathways or downregulating mitogen-induced signaling, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation. Endocytosis in terminally differentiated cells, such as skeletal muscles, adipocytes, kidney podocytes and neurons, supports tissue-specific functions. Finally, uptake is downregulated in senescent cells, making them insensitive to proliferative stimuli by growth factors. Future studies should reveal the molecular basis for the differences in activities between the different cell states.

Abstract
Aging-dependent cellular behaviors toward extrinsic stress are characterized by the confined localization of certain molecules to either nuclear or perinuclear regions. Although most growth factors can activate downstream signaling in aging cells, they do not in fact have any impact on the cells because the signals cannot reach their genetic targets in the nucleus. For the same reason, varying apoptotic stress factors cannot stimulate the apoptotic pathway in senescent cells. Thus, the operation of a functional nuclear barrier in an aging-dependent manner has been investigated. To elucidate the mechanism for this process, the housekeeping transcription factor Sp1 was identified as a general regulator of nucleocytoplasmic trafficking (NCT) genes, including various nucleoporins, importins, exportins and Ran GTPase cycle-related genes. Interestingly, the posttranslational modification of Sp1 is readily influenced by extrinsic stress, including oxidative and metabolic stress. The decrease in SP1 O-GlcNAcylation under oxidative stress or during replicative senescence makes it susceptible to proteosomal degradation, resulting in defective NCT functions and leading to nuclear barrier formation. The operation of the nuclear barrier in aging provides a fundamental mechanism for cellular protection against stress and promotes survival at the expense of growth via stress-sensitive transcriptional control.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, an irreversible state of growth arrest, underlies organismal aging and age-related diseases. Recent evidence suggests that aging intervention based on inhibition of cellular senescence might be a promising strategy for treatment of aging and age-related diseases. Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and ESC conditioned medium (CM) have been suggested as a desirable source for regenerative medicine. However, effects of ESC-CM on cellular senescence remain to be determined. We found that treatment of senescent human dermal fibroblasts with CM from mouse ESCs (mESCs) decreases senescence phenotypes. We found that platelet-derived growth factor BB in mESC-CM plays a critical role in antisenescence effect of mESC-CM through up-regulation of fibroblast growth factor 2. We confirmed that mESC-CM treatment accelerates the wound-healing process by down-regulating senescence-associated p53 expression in in vivo models. Taken together, our results suggest that mESC-CM has the ability to suppress cellular senescence and maintain proliferative capacity. Therefore, this strategy might emerge as a novel therapeutic strategy for aging and age-related diseases.

Abstract
Clinical trials are examining the efficacy of viral vector-mediated gene delivery for treating Parkinson's disease. Although viral vector strategies have been successful in preclinical studies, to date clinical trials have disappointed. This may be because of the fact that preclinical studies fail to account for aging. Aging is the single greatest risk factor for developing Parkinson's disease and age alters cellular processes utilized by viral vectors. We hypothesized that the aged brain would be relatively resistant to transduction when compared with the young adult. We examined recombinant adeno-associated virus 2/5-mediated green fluorescent protein (rAAV2/5 GFP) expression in the young adult and aged rat nigrostriatal system. GFP overexpression was produced in both age groups. However, following rAAV2/5 GFP injection to the substantia nigra aged rats displayed 40%-60% less GFP protein in the striatum, regardless of rat strain or duration of expression. Furthermore, aged rats exhibited 40% fewer cells expressing GFP and 4-fold less GFP messenger RNA. rAAV2/5-mediated gene transfer is compromised in the aged rat midbrain, with deficiencies in early steps of transduction leading to significantly less messenger RNA and protein expression.

The ING1a tumor suppressor regulates endocytosis to induce cellular senescence via the Rb-E2F pathway. PLoS Biol 2013; 11:e1001502. [PMID: 23472054 PMCID: PMC3589274 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.1001502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2012] [Accepted: 01/24/2013] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
An age-associated isoform of ING1, ING1a, induces cell senescence by altering endocytosis, subsequently activating the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor. The INhibitor of Growth (ING) proteins act as type II tumor suppressors and epigenetic regulators, being stoichiometric members of histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase complexes. Expression of the alternatively spliced ING1a tumor suppressor increases >10-fold during replicative senescence. ING1a overexpression inhibits growth; induces a large flattened cell morphology and the expression of senescence-associated β-galactosidase; increases Rb, p16, and cyclin D1 levels; and results in the accumulation of senescence-associated heterochromatic foci. Here we identify ING1a-regulated genes and find that ING1a induces the expression of a disproportionate number of genes whose products encode proteins involved in endocytosis. Intersectin 2 (ITSN2) is most affected by ING1a, being rapidly induced >25-fold. Overexpression of ITSN2 independently induces expression of the p16 and p57KIP2 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, which act to block Rb inactivation, acting as downstream effectors of ING1a. ITSN2 is also induced in normally senescing cells, consistent with elevated levels of ING1a inducing ITSN2 as part of a normal senescence program. Inhibition of endocytosis or altering the stoichiometry of endosome components such as Rab family members similarly induces senescence. Knockdown of ITSN2 also blocks the ability of ING1a to induce a senescent phenotype, confirming that ITSN2 is a major transducer of ING1a-induced senescence signaling. These data identify a pathway by which ING1a induces senescence and indicate that altered endocytosis activates the Rb pathway, subsequently effecting a senescent phenotype. Alternative splicing of several genes including the p16 and p53 tumor suppressors has been reported to increase during replicative senescence of normal diploid cells, but the biological functions of most alternative transcripts are unknown. We have found that a splicing product of the ING1 epigenetic regulator, ING1a, also increases during senescence; moreover, forced expression of ING1a at these levels in otherwise growth-competent cells can induce senescence. In this study we have determined that a major mechanism by which ING1a induces senescence is through inhibiting endocytosis; this subsequently activates the retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor pathway by increasing Rb levels and preventing its inactivation through multiple mechanisms. Our study also establishes a link between endocytosis and oxidative stress and suggests that multiple mechanisms that induce cellular senescence may do so by inhibiting normal endocytic processes, thereby affecting normal signal transduction pathways including those mitogenic pathways required for cell growth.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells that have recently been applied to tissue repair and regeneration. Keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts play key roles in cutaneous wound healing. OBJECTIVE We investigated the paracrine effects of ASCs on HaCaT cells (i.e., immortalized human keratinocytes) and human dermal fibroblasts to explore the mechanism of the effects of ASCs on cutaneous wound healing. METHODS HaCaT cells and primary cultured human dermal fibroblasts were treated with 50% conditioned medium of ASCs (ASC-CM). Viability, in vitro wound healing, and fibroblast-populated collagen lattice contraction assays were conducted, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for the type I procollagen α1 chain gene was performed. RESULTS The proliferation of HaCaT cells and fibroblasts was increased by ASC-CM in the viability assay. ASC-CM promoted in vitro wound healing of HaCaT cells and increased the contraction of the fibroblast-populated collagen lattice. RT-PCR showed that the transcription of the type I procollagen α1 chain gene in fibroblasts was upregulated by ASC-CM. CONCLUSION The stimulatory effect of ASC on cutaneous wound healing may be partially mediated by paracrine effects of ASCs on other skin cells. Application of ASCs or ASC-derived molecules could be an innovative therapeutic approach in the treatment of chronic wounds and other conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite numerous treatments available for deteriorated cutaneous wound healing such as a diabetic foot, there is still the need for more effective therapy. Adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) are mesenchymal stem cells, which are self-renewing and multipotent. Mesenchymal stem cells have the potential for tissue repair and regeneration. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of human ASCs on the healing of cutaneous wounds in nude mice. METHODS 15-mm round full-thickness skin defects were generated on the back of BALB/c nude mice. The mice were divided into three groups for wound coverage: (i) human ASCs-populated collagen gel, (ii) human dermal fibroblasts-populated collagen gel, and (iii) collagen gel alone. Wound contraction was prevented with a splint method. Wound size was measured 10 days after injury. At 28 days histological analysis was performed. RESULTS Both ASCs and dermal fibroblasts accelerated wound closure, but dermal fibroblasts were more effective than ASCs. At 28 days, the dermal portion of ASCs or dermal fibroblasts wound scars were thicker than collagen gel wound scars. CONCLUSION ASCs and dermal fibroblasts stimulate cutaneous wound healing and improve scar thickness.

Abstract
When the aging-dependent cellular behaviors toward growth factors and toxic stress have been analyzed, the perinuclear accumulation of the activated signals, either mitogenic or apoptotic, has been observed, suggesting the aging-dependent inefficiency of the nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of the signals. Thereby, it would be natural to assume the operation of the functional nuclear barrier in aging-dependent manner, which would be designated as "Park and Lim's Barrier." And for the ultimate transcriptional factor for these aging-dependent changes of the functional nuclear barrier, Sp1 transcriptional factor has been suggested to be the most probable candidate. This novel mechanism of aging-dependent operation of the functional nuclear barrier is proposed as the ultimate checking mechanism for cellular protection against toxic environment and the general mechanism for the trade-off growth to survival in aging.

Abstract
Significant effort continues to be exerted toward the improvement of transfection mediated by nonviral vectors. These endeavors are often focused on the design of particulate carriers with properties that encourage efficient accumulation at the membrane surface, particle uptake, and endosomal escape. Despite its demonstrated importance in successful nonviral transfection, relatively little investigation has been done to understand the pressures driving internalized vectors into favorable nondegradative endocytic pathways. Improvements in transfection efficiency have been noted for complexes delivered with a substrate-mediated approach, but the reasons behind such enhancements remain unclear. The phenotypic changes exhibited by cells interacting with nano- and micro-featured substrates offer hints that may explain these effects. This review describes nanoscale particulate and substrate parameters that influence both the uptake of nonviral gene carriers and the endocytic phenotype of interacting cells, and explores the molecular links that may mediate these interactions. Substrate-mediated control of endocytosis represents an exciting new design parameter that will guide the creation of efficient transgene carriers.

Abstract
Ubiquitination ofendogenous proteins is one of the key regulatory steps that guides protein degradation through regulation of proteasome activity. During the last years evidence has accumulated that proteasome activity is decreased during the aging process in various model systems and that these changes might be causally related to aging and age-associated diseases. Since in most instances ubiquitination is the primary event in target selection, the system ofubiquitination and deubiquitination might be of similar importance. Furthermore, ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation are not completely congruent, since ubiquitination confers also functions different from targeting proteins for degradation. Depending on mono- and polyubiquitination and on how ubiquitin chains are linked together, post-translational modifications of cellular proteins by covalent attachment of ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins are involved in transcriptional regulation, receptor internalization, DNA repair, stabilization of protein complexes and autophagy. Here, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the ubiquitinome and the underlying ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes in replicative senescence, tissue aging as well as in segmental progeroid syndromes and discuss potential causes and consequences for aging.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown to induce wound-healing effects. Because inflammation near the wound area induces oxygen deficiency, it is interesting to elucidate the effect of hypoxia on the function of ADSCs. In this work, we asked: (1) does hypoxia alter the wound-healing function of ADSCs? and (2) what are the major factors responsible for the alteration in the wound-healing function? Effect of hypoxia on the proliferation of ADSCs was first examined that hypoxia (2% O(2)) enhanced the proliferation of ADSCs in either the presence of serum or in the absence of serum. The conditioned medium of ADSCs harvested under hypoxia (hypoCM) significantly promoted collagen synthesis and the migration of human dermal fibroblasts, compared with that in normoxia (norCM). In the animal studies, hypoCM significantly reduced the wound area compared with norCM. Furthermore, mRNA and protein measurements showed that hypoxia up-regulated growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Inhibition of VEGF and bFGF using neutralizing antibodies reversed the migration of the wounded human dermal fibroblasts and the healing of wounds in animal experiment. Collectively, these results suggest that hypoxia increases the proliferation of ADSCs and enhances the wound-healing function of ADSCs, at least partly, by up-regulating the secretion of VEGF and bFGF.

Abstract
Various intracellular organelles, such as lysosomes, mitochondria, nuclei, and cytoskeletons, change during replicative senescence, but the utility of these changes as general markers of senescence and their significance with respect to functional alterations have not been comprehensively reviewed. Furthermore, the relevance of these alterations to cellular and functional changes in aging animals is poorly understood. In this paper, we review the studies that report these senescence-associated changes in various aging cells and their underlying mechanisms. Changes associated with lysosomes and mitochondria are found not only in cells undergoing replicative or induced senescence but also in postmitotic cells isolated from aged organisms. In contrast, other changes occur mainly in cells undergoing in vitro senescence. Comparison of age-related changes and their underlying mechanisms in in vitro senescent cells and aged postmitotic cells would reveal the relevance of replicative senescence to the physiological processes occurring in postmitotic cells as individuals age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells within the stromal-vascular fraction of subcutaneous adipose tissue, adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), produced soluble factors and they exhibit diverse pharmacological effects in skin biology. OBJECTIVE The present study examines the protective effect of ADSCs for human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) through anti-oxidation in a tert-butyl hydroperoxide (tbOOH) induced oxidative injury model. METHODS AND RESULTS The conditioned medium of ADSCs (ADSC-CM) was harvested and tested for antioxidant action. ADSC-CM had an antioxidant effect as potent as 100 microM ascorbic acid and various antioxidant proteins were detected in ADSC-CM by proteomic analysis. Morphological change and cell survival assay revealed that incubation with ADSC-CM aided HDFs to resist free radicals induced by tbOOH. In addition, activities of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase were enhanced in the ADSC-CM treated HDFs which confirmed the study hypothesis that ADSCs protect HDFs through antioxidant action. In a cell cycle analysis, ADSC-CM treatment reversed the apoptotic cell death induced by tbOOH and caused a decrease of sub-G1 cells with respect to untreated cells. The anti-apoptotic effect of ADSC-CM was also reproduced by caspase-3 activity assay. CONCLUSION These results suggest that ADSCs have potent antioxidant activity and protect HDFs from oxidative injury by decreasing apoptotic cells. Therefore, ADSCs and ADSC-CM are good candidates for control and prevention of skin damage from free radicals in various skin conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) are a population of pluripotent cells, which have characteristics similar to bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Whereas ADSCs have potential applications for the repair and regeneration of various damaged tissues, few studies have dealt with the effect of ADSCs on fibroblasts, which play a key role in skin biology. OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated the possible roles of ADSCs in skin wound healing process, especially in the aspect of fibroblast activation-proliferation, collagen synthesis and migratory properties. METHODS AND RESULTS ADSCs promoted human dermal fibroblast (HDF) proliferation, not only by cell-to-cell direct contact, which was confirmed by co-culture experiment, but also by paracrine activation through secretory factors, resolved by transwell co-culture and culturing with conditioned medium of ADSCs (ADSC-CM). ADSC-CM enhanced the secretion of type I collagen in HDFs by regulating the mRNA levels of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins: up-regulation of collagen type I, III and fibronectin and down-regulation of MMP-1. Moreover, ADSC-CM showed stimulatory effect on migration of HDFs in in vitro wound healing models. Additional to those in vitro evidences, wound healing effect of ADSCs was also verified with in vivo animal study, resulted that ADSCs significantly reduced the wound size and accelerated the re-epithelialization from the edge. CONCLUSION Collectively, these data suggest that ADSC is constitutionally well suited for dermal wound healing and secretory factors derived from ADSCs promote wound healing via HDFs and ADSCs can be used for the treatment of photoaging and wound healing.

Abstract
Ceramide mediates the effects of several agonists leading to differentiation, apoptosis or senescence. We previously showed that ceramide becomes elevated in senescent fibroblasts. In the present study, senescent cultures of Wi-38 fibroblasts and human umbilical-vein endothelial cells were compared to low-passage cultures in order to identify which of the several pathways is predominantly responsible for the increased ceramide. We found that senescent cells take up the ceramide precursor [(3)H]palmitic acid and convert it to ceramide at essentially equivalent rates to their low-passage counterparts, suggesting that, as a whole, the inherent steps are unaltered. Analysis of subsequent steps, however, revealed changes in ceramide metabolism. The rate of ceramide conversion to sphingomyelin was reduced while glucosylceramide synthesis differed between the cell lines, while the rate of the reverse reactions tended to be increased in senescent cells. We also found a decrease in acidic but not alkaline ceramidase. The data show an overall change in favor increased ceramide levels. Of all of the pathways, neutral sphingomyelinase appears to be the most likely source of the senescence-associated ceramide. The relevance to mitosis and apoptosis are discussed.

Abstract
This study attempts to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the ageing-dependent cAMP profiles in human diploid fibroblasts stimulated by lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). In senescent cells, LPA-dependent Gialpha activation was reduced, with a consequent reduction in Gi-suppressed cAMP levels, without alterations in the levels of Gialpha proteins. In young cells, when Gialpha activity was inhibited by pertussis toxin pretreatment, or when its expression was blocked by siRNA, the pattern of changes in cAMP levels in response to LPA was similar to that seen in senescent cells. An increase in protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent isoforms of adenylyl cyclase (AC) types II, IV, and VI was also observed in these senescent fibroblasts. In senescent cells treated with PKC-specific inhibitors, bis-indolylmaleimide, Gö6976, rottlerin, and PKCvarepsilonV1, LPA-induced cAMP accumulation was inhibited, indicating that increased ACs in response to LPA occur via the activation of protein kinase Cs. When the expression of AC II, IV, and VI was blocked by siRNA in senescent fibroblasts, LPA-induced cAMP accumulation was also blocked. These results suggest that the senescence-associated increase of cAMP levels after LPA treatment is associated with reduced Gialpha, increased AC II, IV, and VI proteins, and PKC-dependent stimulation of their activities and provide an explanation for the age-dependent differences in cAMP-related physiological responses.

Abstract
Despite many endeavors, no satisfactory strategy has emerged for modulating the aging process, most probably because they were based on faulty rationales. In an extension of the "gate theory of aging" that we proposed recently, we propose here that caveolin, an essential component of caveolae structure, may offer a potential target for modulating the aging process. According to the gate theory, certain biomolecules such as caveolins, amphiphysins, G proteins, and integrins play decisive roles in determining the senescent phenotype and thus provide targets for modulating the aging process. Among these molecules, we chose caveolin, because it can associate with a variety of regulatory and structural molecules via their scaffolding domains and thereby influence a broad spectrum of biological phenomena including both the physiology and morphology of the senescent cells. This is an attempt to review the vast body of evidence available in the literature, both direct and indirect, supporting the accord of this pivotal role to the caveolin in the background of the gate theory for the aging process.

Abstract
Aging can be characterized by structural changes and functional deterioration during the lifetime, for which hundreds of explanations have been put forward. Recently, we have proposed the gate theory of aging, in which gatekeeper molecules at the membrane level would play the prime role in determining the senescent phenotype. Caveolin-1 would be a prime candidate for such a role as a major determinant of the aging process. Caveolin-1 can associate with a variety of molecules, involved in signal transduction, endocytosis and transcytosis, cytoskeletal arrangement, etc. The level of caveolin-1 is strictly regulated to maintain cellular integrity, leading to cellular transformation if depleted, and to the senescent phenotype if overexpressed. In case of senescent cells, the functional and physiological responses to the mitogenic stimuli can be restored and the morphological shape can be resumed by simple adjustment of caveolin-1 status. Therefore, it is suggested that prime modulator molecules, represented by caveolin-1, play a key role in determining the senescent phenotype, either as a physiological response or altered morphology.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that aging is a phenomenon of irreversibility, inevitability, and universality with parenchymal loss and functional decline. Consequently, the major goals of aging research are focused on the development of a replace strategy of the aged organs or cells, based on immortalizing tools, stem cells, or artificial substitutes. Recently, however, a new concept of functional recovery has been introduced on the basis of the functional restoration of the responsiveness of the senescent cells toward a variety of agonists, including growth factors. The aging phenotypes of hyporesponsiveness and morphological alteration are shown to be readily adjusted by modulation of the several membrane-associated molecules, named gatekeeper molecules, among which caveolin is one of the major determinants. Caveolin is the essential component of the caveolae, responsible for regulation of signal transduction, endocytosis and trancytosis, and cytoskeletal arrangement via its scaffolding domain. The caveolin status is associated strictly with cellular transformation, if depleted, and with senescent phenotype, if overexpressed. Therefore, simple reduction of caveolin status in senescent cells leads to restoration of the functional responsiveness to mitogenic stimuli and even of the cellular shape. These data strongly suggest that the gatekeeper molecules, represented by caveolin, may play the prime role in determination of the senescent phenotypes. From these results, it can be summarized that the replace principle would not necessarily be the essential one, but the restore principle can be somehow substituted for the betterment of the aged cells and organisms.

Abstract
We evaluated the nuclear actin accumulation as a new marker of cellular senescence, using human diploid fibroblast (HDF), chondrocyte primary cultures, Mv1Lu epithelial cells, and Huh7 cancer cells. Nuclear accumulation of globular actin (G-actin) and dephosphorylated cofilin was highly significant in the senescent HDF cells, accompanied with inhibition of LIM kinase (LIMK) -1 activity. When nuclear export of the actin was induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, DNA synthesis of the senescent cells increased significantly, accompanied with changes of morphologic and biochemical profiles, such as increased RB protein phosphorylation and decreased expressions of p21(WAF1), cytoplasmic p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and caveolins 1 and 2. Significance of these findings was strengthened additionally by the fact that nuclear actin export of young HDF cells was inhibited by the treatment with leptomycin B and mutant cofilin transfection, whose LIMK-1 phosphorylation site was lost, and the old cell phenotypes were duplicated with nuclear actin accumulation, suggesting that nuclear actin accumulation was accompanied with G1 arrest during cellular senescence. The aforementioned changes were observed not only in the replicative senescence but also in the senescence induced by treatment of HDF cells, Mv1Lu, primary culture of human chondrocytes, or Huh7 cells with H-ras virus infection, hydroxyurea, deferoxamine, or H(2)O(2). Nuclear actin accumulation was much more sensitive and an earlier event than the well-known, senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity.

Abstract
Syntaphilin is a brain-specific syntaxin-binding partner first characterized as an inhibitor of SNARE complex formation and neurotransmitter release. Here we show that syntaphilin also binds to dynamin-1 and through this interaction inhibits dynamin-mediated endocytosis. Immunoprecipitation studies from cross-linked rat synaptosomes demonstrate that an endogenous syntaphilin-dynamin-1 complex exists independently of dynamin-1 binding to amphiphysin. Functionally, syntaphilin expression inhibits transferrin internalization in COS-7 cells. These data reveal that syntaphilin is an inhibitor of both SNARE-based fusion and dynamin-mediated endocytosis.

Abstract
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a lipid mitogen that acts through G-protein-coupled receptors. LPA responsiveness has been reported to be dependent on the senescent state of the cells. To solve the mechanism underlying, we observed LPA-dependent cAMP status and found its age-dependent contrasting profile such as high level of cAMP in the senescent cells vs its low level in the young cells. In order to clarify the molecular mechanism of the ageing effect, we examined various molecular species involved in the cAMP signaling pathway by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. EDG-1 and EDG-4 were unchanged, but EDG-2 and EDG-7 were reduced with age. Senescent cells showed a partial reduction of Gi1, Gi2, and Gi3, but no change in the level of Gq. Decreased Gis and Gi-coupled LPA receptors may reduce the inhibitory effect of Gi alpha on adenylyl cyclases (ACs), resulting in cAMP accumulation via activation of adenylyl cyclase in senescent fibroblasts. We also observed an age-dependent increase in some of AC isoforms: II, IV, and VI. In conclusion, multiple changes in the cAMP signaling pathway of the senescent cells might explain the altered responsiveness to the mitogenic stimuli.

Abstract
Although a general mechanism for the limited responsiveness of senescent cells has yet to be established, reduced responsiveness may in part be ascribed to deficits in the apparatus required for cell surface receptor-mediated signal transduction. Age-related changes of receptor-mediated signal transduction occur at many levels, and are known to include quantitative and qualitative changes in growth factor receptors, G-protein coupled receptors, and many other downstream signaling molecules. Here, we emphasize the prime role of the cellular surface in the perception and transmission of external stimuli in response to the aging process. As major means of cellular signal transduction, the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) system and the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) system of senescent cells were investigated. We observed that the RTK system was severely damaged, while the GPCR system was only partially inactivated by aging. These results suggest that the agonist-dependent dysregulation of and imbalance of signal transduction pathways might be responsible for the functional deterioration of senescent cells, and indicate a possibility of the functional recovery of senescent cells through agonist-specific signal system activation. Moreover, those data evoke the emerging concept that the senescent phenotype may be modulated by the membrance-associated signal system, implying the gate theory of aging.

Abstract
Changes in the signal transduction efficiency of senescent cells led us to compare the signaling events induced by two mitogenic agonists, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in presenescent and senescent or near-senescent human diploid fibroblasts. When the changes in intracellular [Ca(2+)](i) were analyzed, both PDGF and LPA generated a rhythmic increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in presenescent cells. The frequency of calcium response was reduced and desensitized in PDGF-stimulated senescent cells, while response to a LPA-induced calcium signal was also reduced in frequency, though its magnitude was unaltered. PDGF treatment increased the fibrous actin (F-actin) level in presenescent cells but not in senescent cells in contrast to a reduced but visible increase in F-actin in LPA-treated senescent cells. The effect of PDGF on phospholipase D (PLD) activation was also reduced significantly, as a ca. 60-80% reduction of PLD activity was observed in PDGF-stimulated cells but only a little reduction in LPA-induced cells. Agonist-specific differential changes of cellular signaling events caused a differential effect on DNA synthesis after growth factor stimulation. We observed a dramatic (80-90%) reduction of [3H]thymidine incorporation into DNA in the PDGF-stimulated near-senescent cells. LPA resulted in a 2-3-fold increase in thymidine incorporation even in the near-senescent cells. These differences in the responses of senescent or near-senescent cells to PDGF- and LPA-stimulation raised questions about the differential changes of the respective signaling apparatuses induced by aging. Since PDGF signaling event was affected greatly by aging, we further examined the protein contents involved in PDGF signal transduction pathway. PDGF receptor (PDGFR), protein kinase C-alpha (PKC-alpha), phospholipase C-gamma1 (PLC-gamma1), and PLD1 were examined by Western blot analysis. The protein levels of PKC-alpha and PLC-gamma1 were unchanged, but those of PLD1 and PDGFR were reduced with age. The reduced content of PDGFR protein may be one of the important contributors to the failure of PDGF-stimulated signal transduction in human senescent fibroblasts. Our results strongly suggest that age-dependent agonist-specific changes in signaling events might be in charge of the functional deterioration of senescent cells through imbalance of signal responses.

Abstract
The functional deterioration of an organism with age causes the major problem of maintaining the quality of life at old age. Degenerative changes in the organism may to some extent reflect alterations that can be observed in cells during in vitro replicative senescence. At the cellular level, the receptor-mediated endocytosis in the membrane might be emphasized as a responsible mechanism for functional decay, since the endocytosis is in charge of many important biological phenomena: nutrient uptake, growth factor sensitivity, immune response, protection from environment and pathogen uptake, etc. We found that two major endocytotic pathways, i.e. clathrin-mediated and caveolae-dependent endocytosis, are down regulated in senescent cells. For the down regulation of the clathrin dependent receptor-mediated endocytosis, the reduction of amphiphysin-1 was found responsible, which was confirmed by Western blot analysis, dominant negative mutant transfection and restoration of gene activity by microinjection. With respect to the hypo-responsiveness of senescent cells to growth factors, the upregulation of caveolins has been suggested to be a causal factor. The overexpression of caveolins caused senescent-like changes in epidermal growth factor (EGF) response of the young cells, while down regulation of caveolins by use of antisense-oligonucleotides restored the EGF response in old cells, suggesting that caveolin system would be one of the major mechanisms responsible for decreased responses to growth factors in the senescent cells. Based on these results, it can be suggested that the functional deterioration of the senescent cells may be explained in terms of the down regulation of receptor mediated endocytosis, at least in part, and that the restoration of endocytosis apparatus either with amphiphysin supplementation or with reduction of caveolins might lead to functional recovery of the senescent cells.

Abstract
Human diploid fibroblasts (HDF) do not divide indefinitely and eventually lead to an arrest of cell division by a process termed cellular or replicative senescence. Irreversible growth arrest of senescent cells is strongly related to the attenuated response to growth factors. Recently, we reported that up-regulation of caveolin in the senescent cells is responsible for the attenuated response to growth factors. Senescent cells did not phosphorylate Erk-1/2 after EGF stimulation, whereas young cells did. In those senescent cells, we found an increased level of caveolin proteins and strong interactions between caveolin-1 and EGFR. When we overexpressed caveolin-1 in young HDF, the activation of Erk-1/2 on EGF stimulation was significantly suppressed. These results suggest that the hyporesponsiveness of senescent fibroblasts to EGF stimulation might be due to the overexpression of caveolin. In addition, the clathrin-dependent endocytosis system plays the more active and dominant role over the caveolae system. Therefore, we monitored the efficiency of clathrin-dependent receptor-mediated endocytosis in the senescent cells in order to elucidate the exact mode of the attenuated response to growth factors in the senescent cells. Using a transferrin-uptake assay and Western blot analysis of endocytosis-related proteins, we found a significant decrease of amphiphysin-1 in human diploid fibroblasts of multipassages. By adjusting the level of amphiphysin, we could modulate the efficiency of receptor-mediated endocytosis either in young or old cells toward growth factors: that is, a dominant negative mutant of amphiphysin-1 blocked the endocytosis in the young cells, while microinjection of the gene resumed its activity in the old cells. Taken together, we conclude that the loss of endocytotic activity of senescent cells is directly related to the down-regulation of amphiphysin-1 and/or up-regulation of caveolins. This opens a new field of functional recovery of the senescent cells simply through adjusting the receptor-mediated endocytosis capacity.
