Abstract: | [Aims] Oxidative stress is known to induce early replicative senescence.Senescence has been proposed to work as a barrier to immortalizationand tumor development. Here, we aimed to evaluate the impact of theloss of peroxisome proliferator activated receptorγco-activator 1α(PGC-1α), a master regulator of oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial re-active oxygen species (ROS) generation, on replicative senescence andimmortalization in mouse embryonicfibroblasts (MEFs). [Results] We found that primary MEFs lacking PGC-1αshowed higher levelsof ROS than wild-type MEFs at all cell passages tested. The elevated pro-duction of ROS was associated with higher levels of oxidative DNA damageand the increased formation of DNA double-strand breaks. Evaluation ofthe induction of DNA repair systems in response toγ-radiation indicatedthat the loss of PGC-1αalso resulted in a small but significant reduction intheir activity. DNA damage induced the early activation of senescencemarkers, including an increase in the number ofβ-galactosidase-positivecells, the induction of p53 phosphorylation, and the increase in p16 and p19protein. These changes were, however, not sufficient to reduce proliferationrates of PGC-1α-deficient MEFs at any cell passage tested. |
