Cellular senescence is a stress response program characterized by a robust cell cycle arrest and the induction of a proinflammatory senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that is triggered through an unknown mechanism. Here, we show that, during oncogene-induced senescence (OIS), the Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and its partner TLR10 are key mediators of senescence in vitro and in murine models. TLR2 promotes cell cycle arrest by regulating the tumor suppressors p53-p21, p16, and p15 and regulates the SASP through the induction of the acute-phase serum amyloids A1 and A2 (A-SAAs) that, in turn, function as the damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) signaling through TLR2 in OIS. Last, we found evidence that the cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA sensing pathway primes TLR2 and A-SAAs expression in OIS. In summary, we report that innate immune sensing of senescence-associated DAMPs by TLR2 controls the SASP and reinforces the cell cycle arrest program in OIS.
细胞衰老(Cellular senescence)是一种应激反应程序,其特征是细胞周期明显停滞,以及诱导产生促炎的衰老相关分泌表型(SASP)。这种表型是通过未知机制触发的。在这里,我们发现,在致癌基因诱导的衰老(OIS)过程中,Toll 样受体 2(TLR2)及其伙伴 TLR10 是体外和小鼠模型中衰老的关键介质。TLR2 通过调节肿瘤抑制因子 p53-p21、p16 和 p15 来促进细胞周期停滞,并通过诱导急性相血清淀粉样蛋白 A1 和 A2(A-SAAs)来调节 SASP,而 A-SAAs 又作为损伤相关分子模式(DAMPs)通过 TLR2 在 OIS 中发挥作用。最后,我们发现证据表明,cGAS-STING 细胞质 DNA 感应途径可激活 TLR2 和 A-SAAs 在 OIS 中的表达。总之,我们报告说,TLR2 对衰老相关 DAMPs 的先天免疫感应控制着 SASP,并在 OIS 中加强细胞周期停滞程序。
