Abstract
GDF15 levels were increased during cellular senescence induced by ionizing radiation in human aortic endothelial cells.
- Downregulation of GDF15 in human aortic endothelial cells partially prevented cellular senescence triggered by ionizing radiation.
- Recovery of cell proliferation and reduced senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining were observed with GDF15 downregulation.
- Upregulation of GDF15 induced cellular senescence, evidenced by G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and increased senescence-associated β-galactosidase staining.
- GDF15-induced cellular senescence occurred in cells with p16 knockdown but not in those with p53 knockdown.
- GDF15 expression in endothelial cells generated reactive oxygen species, activating signaling pathways associated with cellular senescence.
