Abstract

Cellular senescence is a complex stress response that permanently arrests the proliferation of cells at risk for oncogenic transformation. However, senescent cells can also drive phenotypes associated with aging. Although the senescence-associated growth arrest prevents the development of cancer, and the metabolism of cancer cells has been studied in depth, the metabolic causes and consequences of cellular senescence were largely unexplored until recently. New findings reveal key roles for several aspects of cellular metabolism in the establishment and control of senescent phenotypes. These discoveries have important implications for both cancer and aging. In this review, we highlight some of the recent links between metabolism and phenotypes that are commonly associated with senescent cells.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Senescent cell fate can be triggered by many stressors, including DNA damage, oncogene activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive metabolites, oxygen extremes, proteotoxic stress, extracellular signals, infections, mechanical or shear stress, resistance exercise, and factors secreted by other senescent cells.

    “The senescent cell fate can be triggered by a number of stressors including DNA damage, cancerous mutations or oncogene activation, mitochondrial dysfunction, reactive metabolites, hyperoxia or hypoxia, proteotoxic stress, extracellular signals, infections, mechanical or shear stresses that deform cells, resistance exercise and factors secreted by other senescent cells18,38–47.”

    From Cellular senescence and senolytics: the path to the clinic (2022) · cites this paper as [43]

    The Introduction says that diverse stresses and physiological signals induce senescence, and the sections on mitochondrial dysfunction and oncogene-induced senescence identify those specific triggers. The copy also discusses genotoxic stress and ROS, but the passages do not establish the full attributed list, particularly infections, mechanical or shear stress, resistance exercise, and hypoxia as triggers. No page numbers were supplied for these sections. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • In some respects, senescent cells resemble non-dividing cancer cells, including apoptosis resistance and metabolic shifts.

    “In some respects, senescent cells are like non-dividing cancer cells, including apoptosis resistance and metabolic shifts [7, 11, 28, 57–59].”

    From Reducing Senescent Cell Burden in Aging and Disease (2020) · cites this paper as [58]

  • Senescent cells display a very active but altered metabolism, with increased glycolysis and mTOR activity.

    “Although senescent cells do not divide, they display a very active but altered metabolism, with increased glycolysis and mTOR activity [204].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
