Background: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a highly aggressive and deadly subtype of skin cancer. Lack of efficient biomarkers for prognosis has limited the improvement of survival outcome for patients with SKCM.
Methods: In this study, we obtained RNA-seq data from TCGA and GTEx databases, followed by identification of differential expressed genes, univariate Cox regression, and LASSO regression to identify prognostic SASP-related genes in the TCGA datasets and constructed a prognostic risk-scoring model.
Results: The establishment of prognostic model was based on the expression levels of 14 SASP-related genes, including ASPRV1, ICAM1, IL2RA, ABCC2, HLA-B, TPMT, ATM, CD59, KIR2DL4, CTLA4, ITGB3, FOXM1, NOX4, and TRIM21. Patients with melanoma who were in the high-risk group had a shorter overall survival (OS), indicating that the model served as an independent prognostic index. Furthermore, we found that the risk score was potentially linked to immune scores, estimate score, immune cell infiltration level, and immunotherapy efficacy.
Conclusions: This study presented a new prognostic model for assessing therapy in melanoma patients, providing a fresh perspective for combating melanoma.

Background & Aims: Cellular senescence is characterized by the loss of proliferative capacity, cell cycle arrest, and the acquisition of a proinflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescence is frequently present in advanced chronic liver diseases; however, the impact of hepatocellular senescence in alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) progression and alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) is poorly understood.
Methods: Senescence was evaluated in transcriptomic data from patients at different ALD stages: advanced fibrosis (n = 10), cirrhosis (n = 10), and AH (n = 29).

Background: Posterior capsule opacification (PCO), the most common complication following cataract surgery, results from the proliferation, migration and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of residual lens epithelial cells (LECs), typically driven by postoperative inflammatory and growth factor changes. However, delayed-onset PCO, occurring years after surgery without obvious inflammation, suggests the involvement of additional mechanisms, with senescent cells identified as contributors to EMT. This study investigates the role of LEC senescence in PCO development.

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have improved the prognosis of homologous recombination deficient (HRD) ovarian cancer (OC), while effective therapeutic strategies for HR-proficient (HRP) OC still need to be established. This study investigates senescence-mediated inflammation as a novel mechanism of action for PARP inhibitors in HRP cancers. Transcriptome analyses were performed in olaparib-treated HeLa cells as a HRP model.

Background: Stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) represents the predominant subtype of gastric cancer, known for its drug resistance, unfavorable prognosis, and low cure rates. IFN-γ serves as a cytokine generated by immune cells, instrumental in tumor immune clearance and essential to the tumor microenvironment. The aging-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can modify the local tissue environment, facilitating gastric cancer progression and chemotherapy resistance.
