Abstract

Macroautophagy/autophagy has profound implications for aging. However, the true features of autophagy in the progression of aging remain to be clarified. In the present study, we explored the status of autophagic flux during the development of cell senescence induced by oxidative stress. In this system, although autophagic structures increased, the degradation of SQSTM1/p62 protein, the yellow puncta of mRFP-GFP-LC3 fluorescence and the activity of lysosomal proteolytic enzymes all decreased in senescent cells, indicating impaired autophagic flux with lysosomal dysfunction. The influence of autophagy activity on senescence development was confirmed by both positive and negative autophagy modulators; and MTOR-dependent autophagy activators, rapamycin and PP242, efficiently suppressed cellular senescence through a mechanism relevant to restoring autophagic flux. By time-phased treatment of cells with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC), the mitochondria uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) and ambroxol, a reagent with the effect of enhancing lysosomal enzyme maturation, we found that mitochondrial dysfunction plays an initiating role, while lysosomal dysfunction is more directly responsible for autophagy impairment and senescence. Interestingly, the effect of rapamycin on autophagy flux is linked to its role in functional revitalization of both mitochondrial and lysosomal functions. Together, this study demonstrates that autophagy impairment is crucial for oxidative stress-induced cell senescence, thus restoring autophagy activity could be a promising way to retard senescence.

  • Depletion of LAMP2 can induce cellular senescence, as can pharmacological inhibition of lysosomal activity.

    “Depletion of lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2), which is critical for fusion between autophagosomes and lysosomes, can induce cellular senescence [57], [73], as can pharmacological inhibition of lysosomal activity (hydroxychloroquine & leupeptin treatment) [57].”
  • Lysosomal dysfunction can precede senescence development and drive associated phenotypic changes.

    “Additionally, lysosomal dysfunction can precede senescence development and drive the associated phenotypic changes [57], [73].”
  • Lysosomal dysfunction has been documented in replicative and oxidative stress-induced senescence and in both cases was associated with buildup of autophagosomes and related markers (e.g., LC3-II, p62).

    “Consistent with our findings (Fig. 5,Fig. S3), lysosomal dysfunction has been documented in replicative [74] and oxidative stress-induced senescence [57] and in both cases was associated with the buildup of autophagosomes and related markers (e.g. LC3-II, p62).”

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.
