Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cell Biology
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Cellular senescence, a key driver of aging, significantly impacts the central nervous system (CNS).
  • Neural stem cells (NSCs) play a critical role in CNS aging, but studying their senescence is challenging due to a lack of suitable models.
  • Understanding NSC senescence mechanisms is crucial for addressing age-related neurodegenerative diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a reliable and time-efficient cellular model for investigating neural stem cell (NSC) senescence.
  • To elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying hydroxyurea (HU)-induced NSC senescence.

Main Methods:

  • Postnatal subventricular zone NSCs were treated with hydroxyurea (HU) to induce senescence.
  • Senescence was assessed via senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) staining, proliferation assays, and cell cycle analysis.
  • Key molecular markers, including p16, p21, p53, DNA repair proteins (xrcc2, xrcc3, ku70), and apoptotic regulators (BAX), were analyzed.
  • Proteomic analysis was employed to identify involved molecular pathways.

Main Results:

  • HU treatment successfully induced NSC senescence, characterized by increased SA-β-gal activity, reduced proliferation, G0/G1 cell cycle arrest, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS), and decreased apoptosis.
  • Significant upregulation of p16, p21, and p53, alongside downregulation of DNA repair proteins (xrcc2, xrcc3, ku70), was observed.
  • Proteomic analysis indicated involvement of DNA damage/repair pathways, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased ROS.
  • Evidence of compensatory mechanisms, including downregulation of BAX, suggested an attempt to minimize cell death.

Conclusions:

  • A novel cellular senescence model using HU treatment for postnatal NSCs was successfully established.
  • This model provides a valuable tool for exploring the molecular mechanisms of NSC senescence and its implications in CNS aging.
  • The findings highlight the complex interplay of DNA damage, oxidative stress, and apoptosis regulation in NSC aging.
