Therapeutic strategies that safely interfere with the detrimental effects of cellular senescence, such as the selective elimination of senescent cells (SNCs) or the disruption of the SNC secretome, are gaining significant attention, with several programmes now nearing human clinical studies.
Abstract
Chronological age represents the single greatest risk factor for human disease. One plausible explanation for this correlation is that mechanisms that drive ageing might also promote age-related diseases. Cellular senescence, which is a permanent state of cell cycle arrest induced by cellular stress, has recently emerged as a fundamental ageing mechanism that also contributes to diseases of late life, including cancer, atherosclerosis and osteoarthritis. Therapeutic strategies that safely interfere with the detrimental effects of cellular senescence, such as the selective elimination of senescent cells (SNCs) or the disruption of the SNC secretome, are gaining significant attention, with several programmes now nearing human clinical studies.

Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotypes Reveal Cell-Nonautonomous Functions of Oncogenic RAS and the p53 Tumor Suppressor

TL;DR: Coppe et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that human cells induced to senesce by genotoxic stress secrete myriad factors associated with inflammation and malignancy, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8.

Mitochondrial metabolism and cancer.

TL;DR: The cancer cell-intrinsic and cell-extrinsics mechanisms through which mitochondria influence all steps of oncogenesis are reviewed, with a focus on the therapeutic potential of targeting mitochondrial metabolism for cancer therapy.

Clearance of senescent glial cells prevents tau-dependent pathology and cognitive decline

TL;DR: In a mouse model of tau-dependent neurodegenerative disease, the clearance of senescent glial cells prevents the degeneration of cortical and hippocampal neurons and preserves cognitive function, suggesting that targeting senescent cells may provide a therapeutic avenue for the treatment of these pathologies.

p53-dependent chemokine production by senescent tumor cells supports NKG2D-dependent tumor elimination by natural killer cells

TL;DR: P53 induction regulates NK cell recruitment via CCL2, leading to NKG2D-dependent elimination of senescent tumors in mice treated with EMT-naïve mice with programmed cell death.

Target of rapamycin inhibitors (sirolimus and everolimus) for primary immunosuppression of kidney transplant recipients: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials.

TL;DR: A systematic review of randomized trials where immunosuppressive regimens containingTOR-I were compared with other regimens as initial therapy for kidney transplant recipients found no significant difference in mortality, graft loss, or malignancy risk for TOR-I in any comparison.

The chemokine growth-regulated oncogene 1 (Gro-1) links RAS signaling to the senescence of stromal fibroblasts and ovarian tumorigenesis

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that RAS-induced Gro-1 can reprogram the stromal microenvironment through the induction of senescence of fibroblasts and thus can promote tumorigenesis and may be a therapeutic target as well as a diagnostic marker in ovarian cancer.
