Article Abstract

Cellular senescence regulates aging, tissue maintenance, and disease progression through the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP), a secretory profile of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, and matrix-remodeling enzymes. While transient SASP aids wound healing, its chronic activation drives inflammation, fibrosis, and tumorigenesis. This review examines SASP's molecular regulation, dual roles in health and pathology, and therapeutic potential. The following two main strategies are explored: senescence clearance, which eliminates SASP-producing cells, and SASP modulation, which refines secretion to suppress inflammation while maintaining regenerative effects. Key pathways, including NF-κB, C/EBPβ, and cGAS-STING, are discussed alongside pharmacological, immunotherapeutic, gene-editing, and epigenetic interventions. SASP heterogeneity necessitates tissue-specific biomarkers for personalized therapies. Challenges include immune interactions, long-term safety, and ethical considerations. SASP modulation emerges as a promising strategy for aging, oncology, and tissue repair, with future advancements relying on multi-omics and AI-driven insights to optimize clinical outcomes.

Cellular Senescence and Immunosenescence in Melanoma: Insights From the Tumor Microenvironment.

Cancer Med

September 2025

Background: Melanoma is one of the most immunogenic malignancies, yet resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) remains a major obstacle to durable therapeutic success. Emerging evidence indicates that aging-related processes, including cellular senescence and immunosenescence, can reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) to favor immune evasion and disease progression. Senescent melanoma and stromal cells secrete a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that alters immune cell recruitment and function, while immunosenescence leads to diminished cytotoxic responses and the accumulation of dysfunctional or suppressive immune subsets.

KU4 inhibits adipocyte senescence in aged mice through necdin regulation of p53 activity.

Aging (Albany NY)

September 2025

Department of Biological Sciences, College of Natural Sciences, Chonnam National University, Buk-gu, Gwangju 61186, Republic of Korea.

Previously, we reported that KU4 (LKU4) ameliorates diet-induced metabolic disorders by regulating adipose tissue (AT) physiology. Since metabolic disorders and age-related pathological conditions mutually exacerbate each other, this study hypothesizes that LKU4 may protect against adipose senescence during aging. Thus, this study demonstrates that LKU4 administration suppresses age-related metabolic dysfunction and aging phenotypes in AT of 24-month-old mice.

Chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), a lysosome-dependent protein degradation pathway, plays a pivotal yet poorly understood role in cellular senescence-related degenerative diseases. Our study sheds light on a novel mechanism whereby UCHL1 plays a crucial role in mitigating nucleus pulposus cell (NPC) senescence and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) by activating CMA to counteract autophagy-dependent ferroptosis. Through sequencing analysis of human samples, we identified UCHL1 as a potential factor influencing disc degeneration.

Background: Bronchial asthma (BA) is regarded as one of the most prevalent chronic respiratory diseases worldwide. Yanghe Pingchuan Granules (YPG), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound, has been employed extensively in treating BA. However, the precise mechanism by which it exerts its therapeutic effects remains to be fully elucidated.

Chromatin, the spatial organizer of genomic DNA, is hierarchically folded into higher-order structures to facilitate DNA compaction, enabling genome surveillance. Understanding the organization and function of the three-dimensional (3D) genome is critical to profile chromatin accessibility and functional interactions that govern gene regulation across multiple biological processes, including aging and one of its hallmarks, cellular senescence. Cellular senescence constitutes a defensive stress response to various intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli, preserving cellular and organismal homeostasis through a generally irreversible cell cycle arrest.
