DNA damage, cellular senescence and organismal ageing: causal or correlative?
Cellular senescence has long been used as a cellular model for understanding mechanisms underlying the ageing process. Compelling evidence obtained in recent years demonstrate that DNA damage is a common mediator for both replicative senescence, which is triggered by telomere shortening, and premature cellular senescence induced by various stressors such as oncogenic stress and oxidative stress...
متن کاملStress, cell senescence and organismal ageing
Cellular senescence was first described by Hayflick and Moorhead in the 1960s as the irreversible arrest of cells following prolonged cultivation. Telomere shortening is the key mechanism driving replicative senescence in human fibroblasts. Later, pioneering work by Olivier Toussaint and others showed that stress plays a major role in the induction of senescence in vitro, a phenomenon known as ...
متن کاملCellular senescence and organismal ageing in the absence of p21(CIP1/WAF1) in ku80(-/-) mice.
Ku80 is important in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by its essential function in non-homologous end-joining. The absence of Ku80 causes the accumulation of DNA damage and leads to premature ageing in mice. We showed that mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) from ku80(-/-) mice senesced rapidly with elevated levels of p53 and p21. Deletion of p21 delayed the early senescence phenotype in k...
متن کاملThe thorny path linking cellular senescence to organismal aging.
Half a century is fast approaching since Hayflick and colleagues formally described the limited ability of normal human cells to proliferate in culture (Hayflick and Moorhead, 1961). This finding – that normal somatic cells, in contrast to cancer cells, cannot divide indefinitely – challenged the prevailing idea that cells from mortal multicellular organisms were intrinsically ‘immortal’ (Carre...
متن کاملDNA Damage During Seed Ageing
Seed ageing is influenced by two environmental factors, RH and temperature. The deterioration of the stored seed is a natural phenomenon and the seeds tend to lose viability even under ideal storage conditions. Accelerated ageing has been recognized as a good predictor of the storability of seed lots. Aged seeds show decreased vigour and produce weak seedlings that are unable to survive once re...
