Abstract
The word "secretome" was first used to describe the proteins that cells secrete under different circumstances; however, recent studies have proven the existence of other molecules such as RNA and chemical compounds in the secretome. The study of secretome has significance for the diagnosis and treatment of disease as it provides insight into cellular functions, including immune responses, development, and homeostasis. By halting cell division, cellular senescence plays a role in both cancer defense and aging by secreting substances known as senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP). A variety of techniques could be used to analyze the secretome: protein-based approaches like mass spectrometry and protein microarrays, nucleic acid-based methods like RNA sequencing, microarrays, and in silico prediction. Each method offers unique advantages and limitations in characterizing secreted molecules. Top-down and bottom-up strategies for thorough secretome analysis are became possible by mass spectrometry. Understanding cellular function, disease causes, and proper treatment targets is aided by these methodologies. Their approaches, benefits, and drawbacks will all be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Uterine fibroids (or uterine leiomyoma, UFs) are one of the most prevalent benign uterine tumors with high proliferation and collagen synthesis capabilities. UFs are a significant worldwide health issue for women, affecting their physical and financial well-being. Risk factors for UFs include age, racial disparities, obesity, uterine infections, hormonal variation, and lifestyle (i.e., diet, exercise, stress, and smoking). Senescence and its associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs) are among the most salient changes accompanying the aging process. As a result, SASPs are suggested to be one of the major contributors to developing UFs. Interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-1, chemokine ligand 20 (CCL-20), and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) are the most prominent SASPs associated with aging. In addition, different processes contribute to UFs such as collagen deposition and the changes in the immune microenvironment. Programmed death ligand 1 is a major player in the tumor immune microenvironment, which helps tumor cells evade immune attacks. This review focuses on the correlation of SASPs on two axes of tumor progression: immune suppression and collagen deposition. This review opens the door towards more investigations regarding changes in the UF immune microenvironment and age-UFs correlation and thus, a novel targeting approach for UF treatment.

Value of a secretomic approach for distinguishing patients with COVID-19 viral pneumonia among patients with respiratory distress admitted to intensive care unit. J Med Virol 2024; 96:e29756.

Abstract
In intensive care units, COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients (VPP) present symptoms similar to those of other patients with Nonviral infection (NV-ICU). To better manage VPP, it is therefore interesting to better understand the molecular pathophysiology of viral pneumonia and to search for biomarkers that may clarify the diagnosis. The secretome being a set of proteins secreted by cells in response to stimuli represents an opportunity to discover new biomarkers. The objective of this study is to identify the secretomic signatures of VPP with those of NV-ICU. Plasma samples and clinical data from NV-ICU (n = 104), VPP (n = 30) or healthy donors (HD, n = 20) were collected at Nantes Hospital (France) upon admission. Samples were enriched for the low-abundant proteins and analyzed using nontarget mass spectrometry. Specifically deregulated proteins (DEP) in VPP versus NV-ICU were selected. Combinations of 2 to 4 DEPs were established. The differences in secretome profiles of the VPP and NV-ICU groups were highlighted. Forty-one DEPs were specifically identified in VPP compared to NV-ICU. We describe five of the best combinations of 3 proteins (complement component C9, Ficolin-3, Galectin-3-binding protein, Fibrinogen alpha, gamma and beta chain, Proteoglycan 4, Coagulation factor IX and Cdc42 effector protein 4) that show a characteristic receptor function curve with an area under the curve of 95.0%. This study identifies five combinations of candidate biomarkers in VPP compared to NV-ICU that may help distinguish the underlying causal molecular alterations.

Abstract
The process of aging is intimately linked to alterations at the tissue and cellular levels. Currently, the role of senescent cells in the tissue microenvironment is still being investigated. Despite common characteristics, different cell populations undergo distinctive morphofunctional changes during senescence. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) play a pivotal role in maintaining tissue homeostasis. A multitude of studies have examined alterations in the cytokine profile that determine their regulatory function. The extracellular matrix (ECM) of MSCs is a less studied aspect of their biology. It has been shown to modulate the activity of neighboring cells. Therefore, investigating age-related changes in the MSC matrisome is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of tissue niche ageing. This study conducted a broad proteomic analysis of the matrisome of separated fractions of senescent MSCs, including the ECM, conditioned medium (CM), and cell lysate. This is the first time such an analysis has been conducted. It has been established that there is a shift in production towards regulatory molecules and a significant downregulation of the main structural and adhesion proteins of the ECM, particularly collagens, fibulins, and fibrilins. Additionally, a decrease in the levels of cathepsins, galectins, S100 proteins, and other proteins with cytoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antifibrotic properties has been observed. However, the level of inflammatory proteins and regulators of profibrotic pathways increases. Additionally, there is an upregulation of proteins that can directly cause prosenescent effects on microenvironmental cells (SERPINE1, THBS1, and GDF15). These changes confirm that senescent MSCs can have a negative impact on other cells in the tissue niche, not only through cytokine signals but also through the remodeled ECM.

Abstract
Cellular senescence is a state of terminal growth arrest associated with the upregulation of different cell cycle inhibitors, mainly p16 and p21, structural and metabolic alterations, chronic DNA damage responses, and a hypersecretory state known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP is the major mediator of the paracrine effects of senescent cells in their tissue microenvironment and of various local and systemic biological functions. In this Review, we discuss the composition, dynamics and heterogeneity of the SASP as well as the mechanisms underlying its induction and regulation. We describe the various biological properties of the SASP, its beneficial and detrimental effects in different physiological and pathological settings, and its impact on overall health span. Finally, we discuss the use of the SASP as a biomarker and of SASP inhibitors as senomorphic interventions to treat cancer and other age-related conditions.

Abstract
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of pulmonary disorders characterized by variable degrees of inflammation, interstitial thickening, and fibrosis leading to distortion of the pulmonary architecture and gas exchange impairment. Among them, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) displays the worst prognosis. The only therapeutic options consist of the two antifibrotic drugs, pirfenidone and nintedanib, which limit fibrosis progression but do not reverse the lung damage. The shift of the pathogenetic paradigm from inflammatory disease to epithelium-derived disease has definitively established the primary role of type II alveolar cells, which lose their epithelial phenotype and acquire a mesenchymal phenotype with production of collagen and extracellular matrix (EMC) deposition. Some predisposing environmental and genetic factors (e.g., smoke, pollution, gastroesophageal reflux, variants of telomere and surfactant genes) leading to accelerated senescence set a pro-fibrogentic microenvironment and contribute to the loss of regenerative properties of type II epithelial cells in response to pathogenic noxae. This review provides a complete overview of the different pathogenetic mechanisms leading to the development of IPF. Then, we summarize the currently approved therapies and the main clinical trials ongoing. Finally, we explore the potentialities offered by agents not only interfering with the processes of fibrosis but also restoring the physiological properties of alveolar regeneration, with a particular focus on potentialities and concerns about cell therapies based on mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), whose anti-inflammatory and immunomodulant properties have been exploited in other fibrotic diseases, such as graft versus host disease (GVHD) and COVID-19-related ARDS.
