Mitochondria are required for pro‐ageing features of the senescent phenotype
Abstract: Cell senescence is an important tumour suppressor mechanism and driver of ageing. Both functions are dependent on the development of the senescent phenotype, which involves an overproduction of pro‐inflammatory and pro‐oxidant signals. However, the exact mechanisms regulating these phenotypes remain poorly understood. Here, we show the critical role of mitochondria in cellular senescence. In multiple models of senescence, absence of mitochondria reduced a spectrum of senescence effectors and phenotypes while p…

“…The dysregulation of mitochondrial biogenesis, fusion, fission and mitophagy all contribute to changes in the mitochondrial pool in ageing and disease . Increased mitochondrial mass is reported in AECII and lung fibroblasts in IPF and airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells in severe asthma . In this study, increased levels of mtDNA and MitoTracker Green staining suggest IPF‐LFs also exhibit a net increase in mitochondrial mass as compared to Ctrl‐LFs, possibly a consequence of increased biogenesis.…”

“…2d). These data are in agreement with previous reports showing that senescent cells have a marked increase in mitochondrial activity 6,28,29 . To assess whether this increase in OCR during senescence was due to FASN activity, we used increasing concentrations of C75.…”

“…Aged cells tend to have larger mitochondrial mass, which is consistent with our experimental results, 42 where the mitochondrial mass of MSCs on soft polyacrylamide gel was greater than that on the hard substrate (Figure 6A, B ). Furthermore, the aged environment is characterized by a high level of ROS, and during the osteogenic differentiation of MSCs, oxidative phosphorylation is the primary mode of energy metabolism, leading to a substantial production of ROS.…”
