Abstract The accumulation of pro-inflammatory senescent cells within tissues is a common hallmark the aging process and many age-related diseases. This modification has been called senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) observed in cultured isolated from aged tissues. Currently, there debate whether should be attributed to increased generation or defect their elimination Emerging studies have revealed that display an expression several inhibitory immune checkpoint ligands, especially those programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) ligand-1 (PD-L1) proteins. It known PD-L1 cancer cells, target PD-1 receptor cytotoxic CD8 + T natural killer (NK) disturbing functions, e.g., evoking decline activity promoting exhaustion even apoptosis. An increase level protein was able suppress surveillance inhibit by NK cells. Senescent are express ligands for receptors, i.e., PD-1, LILRB4, NKG2A, TIM-3, SIRPα receptors. Here, I will briefly describe pathways examine these checkpoints could involved evasion with seems plausible enhanced signaling can prevent thus promote process.

Abstract Fibrogenesis is part of a normal protective response to tissue injury that can become irreversible and progressive, leading fatal diseases. Senescent cells are main driver fibrotic diseases through their secretome, known as senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here, we report cellular senescence, multiple types in mice humans characterized by the accumulation iron. We show vascular hemolytic injuries efficient triggering iron accumulation, which turn cause senescence promote fibrosis. Notably, find senescent persistently accumulate iron, even when surge extracellular has subdued.
