Probing the depths of cellular senescence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest that has been documented to both suppress cancer and promote aging. Although not well understood, extensive nuclear changes, including the remodeling of chromatin, take place as cells become senescent. In this issue, Ivanov et al. (2013. J. Cell Biol. http://dx.doi.org/jcb.201212110) report that chromatin fragments are released from the nuclei of senescent cells and are subsequently targeted for processing through the autophagy/lysosomal pathway.

In Vitro Evaluation of Protective Effect of Rutin on Acrylamide-Induced Cellular Senescence in NIH3T3 Cells
Background: Aging is one of the important factors in the development of age-related diseases. Acrylamide can be produced during carbohydrate-rich foods prepared at high temperatures. Recently, studies showed that acrylamide can induce cellular senescence. On the other hand, Rutin as a natural flavonoid, has a potent antioxidant activity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the ptotective ef...
متن کاملThe Lcn2-engineered HEK-293 cells show senescence under stressful condition
Objective(s): Lipocalin2 (Lcn2) gene is highly expressed in response to various types of cellular stresses. The precise role of Lcn2 has not been fully understood yet. However, it plays a key role in controlling vital cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and metabolism. Recently it was shown that Lcn2 decreases senescence and increases proliferation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC...
متن کاملLooking for immortality: Review of phytotherapy for stem cell senescence
Objective(s): In this paper, we discussed natural agents with protective effects against stem cell senescence. Different complications have been observed due to stem cell senescence and the most important of them is “Aging”. Senescent cells have not normal function and their secretary inflammatory factors induce chronic inflammation in body which causes different patho...
متن کاملEffects of alpha-mangostin on memory senescence induced by high glucose in human umbilical vein endothelial cells
Objective(s): Hyperglycemia induces cellular senescence in various body cells, such as vascular endothelial cells. Since the vessels are highly distributed in the body and nourish all tissues, vascular damages cause diabetes complications such as kidney failure and visual impairment. Alpha-mangostin is a xanthone found in mangosteen fruit with protective effects in met...
متن کاملThe Effect of Eight Weeks of Aerobic Exercise on the Expression of Senescence Proteins P53 and P16 in Pancreatic Tissue of Diabetic Mice
Background: Chronic hyperglycemia is associated with an increase in cellular damage due to oxidative stress and increases insulin resistance and also increases in p53 and p16 beta cells, leading to the induction of senescence in pancreatic insulin-secreting cells. The aim of this study was the effect of eight weeks of aerobic exercise on the expression of senescence proteins P53 and P16 in the ...
