Abstract

The senescence associated-beta-galactosidase (SA-betaG) assay has become one of the most commonly used markers of cell-aging. However, the reliability of the assay is questionable because the enzyme is a non-specific marker for cell-aging. In this study, we found that the SA-betaG activity increased with cell age as well as in confluent quiescent cells or cells under serum starvation, and in cells treated with H2O2. Importantly, we found that SA-betaG activity was irreversibly increased in the senescent cells or H2O2-teated cells, but was reversible in quiescent cells induced by serum starvation or confluence. Using fluorescein di-beta-d-galactopyranoside (FDG) method for SA-betaG detection, we showed that senescent human foreskin fibroblast Hs68 cells did not express a specific enzyme that has a maximal activity at pH 6.0. In the pH profile of the cellular betaG activity in senescent Hs68 cells, only a single peak was found (with maximum at pH 4.6), and no addition peak was found at or around pH 6.0 that could be attributed to the SA-betaG activity. These results support the contention that SA-betaG is the lysosomal betaG that is detectable at suboptimal pH (i.e. pH 6.0) and demonstrate that cell-aging is not the only factor that can increase SA-betaG activity, rendering SA-betaG activity unspecific for cell-aging. Thus, the assay for cell-aging is only reliable when these confounding factors are controlled or excluded.

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.
