Cellular senescence closely associated with ageing is first described in vitro in 1961. It is characterized by the upregulation of cell cycle inhibitors, leading to suppressing the cell cycle activity and ceasing of cellular growth. Concordantly, the DNA damage related responses, change of transcriptomics pattern, increased ROS production, accumulation of misfolded proteins, alteration of cell morphology and aberrant metabolic activity were also observed. In parallel, a stress associated low-grade proinflammatory status, together with the paracrine effects of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) became evident in the ageing tissue microenvironment. In this current review, besides stress, I focused on describing SASP, including its components and the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms. Specifically, the relationship between senescence and ageing was highlighted. Furthermore, the potential use of SASP inhibitors as the intervention strategy to prevent or even treat ageing-related indications are presented. Cellular senescence has become a target for biotech companies to ameliorate a variety of human conditions. Approaches of detaining cell senescence and ageing are under intensive studies. |
