Cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, is characterized by irreversible, permanent cell cycle arrest accompanied by halted proliferation triggered by endogenous or exogenous stimuli. The accumulation of senescent cells in tissues or organs elicits detrimental effects on adjacent normal cells through their pathogenic senescence‑associated secretory phenotype (SASP), driving secondary senescence, disrupting tissue homeostasis and ultimately exacerbating age‑related pathologies such as types of cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Hepatic disorders constitute a leading cause of global mortality, imposing considerable healthcare burdens.

Senolytics, agents that selectively eliminate 30-70% of SCs, act by transiently disabling the senescent cell anti-apoptotic pathways (SCAPs), which defend those SCs that are pro-apoptotic and pro-inflammatory from their own senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Consistent with this, a JAK/STAT inhibitor, Ruxolitinib, which attenuates the pro-inflammatory SASP of senescent human preadipocytes, caused them to become "senolytic-resistant".

Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest accompanied by a distinctive inflammatory secretory profile known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). While various biomarkers, such as senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-βgal), EdU incorporation, p21 and p16, are used to identify senescent cells, no single biomarker universally defines cellular senescence and current methods often fail to address heterogeneity in biomarker expression levels. This study leverages single-cell fluorescence imaging to assess multiple senescence markers including SA-βgal enzymatic activity, p21 and IL-6 expression and nuclear and cell area in chemotherapy-induced (mitomycin C) and oxidative stress-induced (D-galactose) senescence models in human fibroblasts.

Fatty acids (TFAs) have been associated with various inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)/metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that in response to DNA damage, elaidic acid (EA), a most common TFA, amplifies interleukin-1 receptor (IL-1R) signaling, leading to the promotion of cellular senescence and senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).

Cellular senescence is a stress-induced program characterized by long-lasting cell cycle arrest and the secretion of bioactive and inflammatory molecules, which are collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Diverse stressors, including oncogene activation, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and cytokine exposure, can induce cellular senescence in cancer cells. Senescent cancer cells (SnCs) can enhance immune responses and promote tumor immune surveillance.
