The light and shadow of senescence and inflammation in cardiovascular pathology and regenerative medicine [PDF]
Recent epidemiologic studies evidence a dramatic increase of cardiovascular diseases, especially associated with the aging of the world population. During aging, the progressive impairment of the cardiovascular functions results from the compromised ...

Small-molecule MDM2 antagonists attenuate the senescence-associated secretory phenotype [PDF]
AbstractProcesses that have been linked to aging and cancer include an inflammatory milieu driven by senescent cells. Senescent cells lose the ability to divide, essentially irreversibly, and secrete numerous proteases, cytokines and growth factors, termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

The Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype Promotes Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is characterized by increased tissue mass in the transition zone of the prostate, which leads to obstruction of urine outflow and considerable morbidity in a majority of older men. Senescent cells accumulate in human tissues, including the prostate, with increasing age.

Mettl14-driven senescence-associated secretory phenotype facilitates somatic cell reprogramming
The METTL3-METTL14 complex, the "writer" of N6-methyladenosine (m6A), plays an important role in many biological processes. Previous studies have shown that Mettl3 overexpression can increase the level of m6A and promote somatic cell reprogramming. Here, we demonstrate that Mettl14, another component of the methyltransferase complex, can significantly ...

QS2: Aberrant Breast Adipose Stromal Cell Biology In Women At High Risk For Developing Breast Cancer
Purpose: Our laboratory studies contributions of breast adipose stromal cells (bASCs) to breast cancer initiation and progression. To date, most studies of ASC biology have focused on abdominal ASCs.

HMGB2 holds the key to the senescence-associated secretory phenotype [PDF]
The senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) is a hallmark of senescence with an important physiological impact, but how it is established is unclear. In this issue, Aird et al. (2016. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608026) describe how chromatin-bound HMGB2 fine tunes SASP expression by avoiding heterochromatin spreading.

Cells exhibiting strong p16INK4a promoter activation in vivo display features of senescence [PDF]
The activation of cellular senescence throughout the lifespan promotes tumor suppression, whereas the persistence of senescent cells contributes to aspects of aging.

Glucocorticoids suppress selected components of the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype [PDF]
SummaryCellular senescence suppresses cancer by arresting the proliferation of cells at risk for malignant transformation. Recently, senescent cells were shown to secrete numerous cytokines, growth factors, and proteases that can alter the tissue microenvironment and may promote age‐related pathology.
