Radiomic Prediction of CCND1 Expression Levels and Prognosis in Low-grade Glioma Based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Acad Radiol 2024:S1076-6332(24)00196-X. [PMID: 38824087 DOI: 10.1016/j.acra.2024.03.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OJECTIVES Low-grade glioma (LGG) is associated with increased mortality owing to recrudescence and the tendency for malignant transformation. Therefore, it is imperative to discover novel prognostic biomarkers as existing traditional prognostic biomarkers of glioma, including clinicopathological features and imaging examinations, are unable to meet the clinical demand for precision medicine. Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of cyclin D1 (CCND1) expression levels and construct radiomic models to predict these levels in patients with LGG MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 412 LGG cases from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were used for gene-based prognostic analysis. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images stored in The Cancer Imaging Archive with genomic data from TCGA, 149 cases were selected for radiomics feature extraction and model construction. After feature extraction, the radiomic signature was constructed using logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) analyses. RESULTS CCND1 was identified as a prognosis-related gene with differential expression in tumor and normal samples and plays a role in regulating both the cell cycle and immune response. Landmark analysis revealed that high-expression levels of CCND1 were beneficial for survival (P < 0.05) in advanced LGG. Four optimal radiomics features were selected to construct radiomics models. The performance of LR and SVM achieved areas under the curve of 0.703 and 0.705, as well as 0.724 and 0.726 in the training and validation sets, respectively. CONCLUSION Elevated levels of CCND1 expression could impact the prognosis of patients with LGG. MRI-based radiomics, especially the AUC values, can serve as a novel tool for predicting CCND1 expression and understanding the correlation between elevated CCND1 expression and prognosis. AVAILABILITY OF DATA AND MATERIALS The datasets analyzed during the current study are available in the TCGA, TCIA, UCSC XENA and GTEx repository, https://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/, https://www.cancerimagingarchive.net/, https://xenabrowser.net/datapages/, https://www.gtexportal.org/home/.

Abstract
Cortical malformations such as focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCDII) are associated with pediatric drug-resistant epilepsy that necessitates neurosurgery. FCDII results from somatic mosaicism due to post-zygotic mutations in genes of the PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway, which produce a subset of dysmorphic cells clustered within healthy brain tissue. Here we show a correlation between epileptiform activity in acute cortical slices obtained from human surgical FCDII brain tissues and the density of dysmorphic neurons. We uncovered multiple signatures of cellular senescence in these pathological cells, including p53/p16 expression, SASP expression and senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity. We also show that administration of senolytic drugs (dasatinib/quercetin) decreases the load of senescent cells and reduces seizure frequency in an MtorS2215F FCDII preclinical mouse model, providing proof of concept that senotherapy may be a useful approach to control seizures. These findings pave the way for therapeutic strategies selectively targeting mutated senescent cells in FCDII brain tissue.

LILRB2 inhibition enhances radiation sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer by attenuating radiation-induced senescence. Cancer Lett 2024; 593:216930.

Abstract
Radiotherapy (RT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) triggers cellular senescence, complicating tumor microenvironments and affecting treatment outcomes. This study examines the role of lymphocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor B2 (LILRB2) in modulating RT-induced senescence and radiosensitivity in NSCLC. Through methodologies including irradiation, lentivirus transfection, and various molecular assays, we assessed LILRB2's expression and its impact on cellular senescence levels and tumor cell behaviors. Our findings reveal that RT upregulates LILRB2, facilitating senescence and a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which in turn enhances tumor proliferation and resistance to radiation. Importantly, LILRB2 silencing attenuates these effects by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, significantly increasing radiosensitivity in NSCLC models. Clinical data correlate high LILRB2 expression with reduced RT response and poorer prognosis, suggesting LILRB2's pivotal role in RT-induced senescence and its potential as a therapeutic target to improve NSCLC radiosensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular senescence significantly associates with tumor initiation, progression, and therapeutic response across multiple cancers. Here, we sought to develop a novel senescence-related genes (SRGs)-derived signature for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) prognostication and therapeutic response prediction. METHODS OSCC-specific SRG prognostic signature was established with univariate Cox regression, Kaplan-Meier survival, and LASSO-penalized multivariate Cox regression analyses. A SRG nomogram integrating this signature and selected clinicopathological parameters were constructed by multivariate Cox regression. SiRNA-mediated gene knockdown was exploited to validate its function in vitro. The utilities of SRG signature in predicting immune status and chemotherapeutic sensitivities were analyzed. RESULTS The prognostic performance of SRG signature/nomogram was satisfactory in multiple independent cohorts. CDK1 knockdown induced senescence phenotype in vitro. Moreover, SRG signature scores negatively correlated with tumor-infiltrating immune cells and associated with multiple chemotherapeutic drug sensitivities. CONCLUSIONS Our results established SRG-derived signature/nomogram as powerful predictors for prognosis and chemotherapeutic response for OSCC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We aimed to highlight the effects of senotherapy on the prevention and treatment of cancer in older individuals. The aim of senotherapy is to eliminate senescent cells. These cells express the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). With production of inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and different type of proteases, the SASP is responsible for aging-associated disability and diseases. All mammalian cells experience senescence. The main agents of aging include fibroblasts and adipose cells. Senescent tumor cells may undergo genomic reprogramming and re-enter cell cycle with a stem cell phenotype. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a Medline search for the following key words: senotherapy, senolysis, senomorphic agents. We provide a narrative review of the finding. RESULTS Different agents may eliminate senescent cells from cell cultures and murine models. These include metformin, rapamycin, desatinib, quercitin, fisetin, ruloxitinib, and BCL2 inhibitors. A randomized controlled study of metformin in 3,000 patients aged 65-79 without glucose intolerance aiming to establish whether senotherapy may prevent or reverse disability and aging associated diseases, including cancer, is ongoing. Senotherapy prolongs the life span and decreases the incidence of cancer in experimental animal models, as well as delays and reverses disability. Senescent tumor cells are found prior to treatment and after chemotherapy and radiation. These elements may be responsible for tumor recurrence and treatment refractoriness. DISCUSSION Senotherapy may have substantial effects on cancer management including decreased incidence and aggressiveness of cancer, improved tolerance of antineoplastic treatment, and prevention of relapse after primary treatment. Senotherapy may ameliorate several complications of cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly lethal type of cancer. GBM recurrence following chemoradiation is typically attributed to the regrowth of invasive and resistant cells. Therefore, there is a pressing need to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying GBM resistance to chemoradiation and its ability to infiltrate. Using a combination of transcriptomic, proteomic, and phosphoproteomic analyses, longitudinal imaging, organotypic cultures, functional assays, animal studies, and clinical data analyses, we demonstrate that chemoradiation and brain vasculature induce cell transition to a functional state named VC-Resist (vessel co-opting and resistant cell state). This cell state is midway along the transcriptomic axis between proneural and mesenchymal GBM cells and is closer to the AC/MES1-like state. VC-Resist GBM cells are highly vessel co-opting, allowing significant infiltration into the surrounding brain tissue and homing to the perivascular niche, which in turn induces even more VC-Resist transition. The molecular and functional characteristics of this FGFR1-YAP1-dependent GBM cell state, including resistance to DNA damage, enrichment in the G2M phase, and induction of senescence/stemness pathways, contribute to its enhanced resistance to chemoradiation. These findings demonstrate how vessel co-option, perivascular niche, and GBM cell plasticity jointly drive resistance to therapy during GBM recurrence.

ANKZF1 knockdown inhibits glioblastoma progression by promoting intramitochondrial protein aggregation through mitoRQC. Cancer Lett 2024; 591:216895. [PMID: 38670305 DOI: 10.1016/j.canlet.2024.216895] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
Protein homeostasis is fundamental to the development of tumors. Ribosome-associated quality-control (RQC) is able to add alanine and threonine to the stagnant polypeptide chain C-terminal (CAT-tail) when protein translation is hindered, while Ankyrin repeat and zinc-finger domain-containing-protein 1 (ANKZF1) can counteract the formation of the CAT-tail, preventing the aggregation of polypeptide chains. In particular, ANKZF1 plays an important role in maintaining mitochondrial protein homeostasis by mitochondrial RQC (mitoRQC) after translation stagnation of precursor proteins targeting mitochondria. However, the role of ANKZF1 in glioblastoma is unclear. Therefore, the current study was aimed to investigate the effects of ANKZF1 in glioblastoma cells and a nude mouse glioblastoma xenograft model. Here, we reported that knockdown of ANKZF1 in glioblastoma cells resulted in the accumulation of CAT-tail in mitochondria, leading to the activated mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) and inhibits glioblastoma malignant progression. Excessive CAT-tail sequestered mitochondrial chaperones HSP60, mtHSP70 and proteases LONP1 as well as mitochondrial respiratory chain subunits ND1, Cytb, mtCO2 and ATP6, leading to mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction, membrane potential impairment, and mitochondrial apoptotic pathway activation. Our study highlights ANKZF1 as a valuable target for glioblastoma intervention and provides an innovative insight for the treatment of glioblastoma through the regulating of mitochondrial protein homeostasis.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that changes in the tumor microenvironment caused by radiotherapy are closely related to the recurrence of glioma. However, the mechanisms by which such radiation-induced changes are involved in tumor regrowth have not yet been fully investigated. In the present study, how cranial irradiation-induced senescence in non-neoplastic brain cells contributes to glioma progression is explored. It is observed that senescent brain cells facilitated tumor regrowth by enhancing the peripheral recruitment of myeloid inflammatory cells in glioblastoma. Further, it is identified that astrocytes are one of the most susceptible senescent populations and that they promoted chemokine secretion in glioma cells via the senescence-associated secretory phenotype. By using senolytic agents after radiotherapy to eliminate these senescent cells substantially prolonged survival time in preclinical models. The findings suggest the tumor-promoting role of senescent astrocytes in the irradiated glioma microenvironment and emphasize the translational relevance of senolytic agents for enhancing the efficacy of radiotherapy in gliomas.

Abstract
In this study, we explore the dynamic process of colorectal cancer progression, emphasizing the evolution toward a more metastatic phenotype. The term "evolution" as used in this study specifically denotes the phenotypic transition toward a higher metastatic potency from well-formed glandular structures to collective invasion, ultimately resulting in the development of cancer cell buddings at the invasive front. Our findings highlight the spatial correlation of this evolution with tumor cell senescence, revealing distinct types of senescent tumor cells (types I and II) that play different roles in the overall cancer progression. Type I senescent tumor cells (p16INK4A+/CXCL12+/LAMC2-/MMP7-) are identified in the collective invasion region, whereas type II senescent tumor cells (p16INK4A+/CXCL12+/LAMC2+/MMP7+), representing the final evolved form, are prominently located in the partial-EMT region. Importantly, type II senescent tumor cells associate with local invasion and lymph node metastasis in colorectal cancer, potentially affecting patient prognosis.

Abstract
Brain aging is a recognized risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease), but the intricate interplay between brain aging and the pathogenesis of these conditions remains inadequately understood. Cellular senescence is considered to contribute to cellular dysfunction and inflammaging. According to the threshold theory of senescent cell accumulation, the vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases is associated with the rates of senescent cell generation and clearance within the brain. Given the role of microglia in eliminating senescent cells, the accumulation of senescent microglia may lead to the acceleration of brain aging, contributing to inflammaging and increased vulnerability to neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we propose the idea that the senescence of microglia, which is notably vulnerable to aging, could potentially serve as a central catalyst in the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. The senescent microglia are emerging as a promising target for mitigating neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Cellular senescence, a vulnerable state of growth arrest, has been regarded as a potential strategy to weaken the resistance of tumor cells, leading to dramatic improvements in treatment efficacy. However, a selective and efficient strategy for inducing local tumor cellular senescence has not yet been reported. Herein, piezoelectric catalysis is utilized to reduce intracellular NAD+ to NADH for local tumor cell senescence for the first time. In detail, a biocompatible nanomedicine (BTO/Rh-D@M) is constructed by wrapping the piezoelectric BaTiO3 /(Cp* RhCl2 )2 (BTO/Rh) and doxorubicin (DOX) in the homologous cytomembrane with tumor target. After tumors are stimulated by ultrasound, negative and positive charges are generated on the BTO/Rh by piezoelectric catalysis, which reduce the intracellular NAD+ to NADH for cellular senescence and oxidize H2 O to reactive oxygen species (ROS) for mitochondrial damage. Thus, the therapeutic efficacy of tumor immunogenic cell death-induced chemo-immunotherapy is boosted by combining cellular senescence, DOX, and ROS. The results indicate that 23.9% of the piezoelectric catalysis-treated tumor cells senesced, and solid tumors in mice disappeared completely after therapy. Collectively, this study highlights a novel strategy to realize cellular senescence utilizing piezoelectric catalysis and the significance of inducing tumor cellular senescence to improve therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
The long-standing view of senescent cells as passive and dysfunctional biological remnants has recently shifted into a new paradigm where they are main players in the development of many diseases, including cancer. The senescence programme represents a first line of defence that prevents tumour cell growth but also leads to the secretion of multiple pro-inflammatory and pro-tumourigenic factors that fuel tumour initiation, growth, and progression. Here, we review the main molecular features and biological functions of senescent cells in cancer, including the outcomes of inducing or targeting senescence. We discuss evidence on the role of cellular senescence in pituitary tumours, with an emphasis on adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (ACP) and pituitary adenomas. Although senescence has been proposed to be a tumour-preventing mechanism in pituitary adenomas, research in ACP has shown that senescent cells are tumour-promoting in both murine models and human tumours. Future studies characterizing the impact of targeting senescent cells may result in novel therapies against pituitary tumours.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most commonly occurring and most lethal primary brain tumor. Treatment options are limited in number and therapeutic development remains a major challenge. However, substantial progress has been made in better understanding the underlying biology of the disease. A recent proteomic meta-analysis revealed that 270 proteins were commonly dysregulated in glioblastoma, highlighting the complexity of the disease. This motivated us to explore potential protein targets which may be collectively inhibited, based on common upregulation, as part of a multi-target therapeutic strategy. Herein, we identify and characterize structural attributes relevant to the druggability of six protein target candidates. Computational analysis of crystal structures revealed druggable cavities in each of these proteins, and various parameters of these cavities were determined. For proteins with inhibitor-bound structures available, inhibitor compounds were found to overlap with the computationally determined cavities upon structural alignment. We also performed bioinformatic analysis for normal transcriptional expression distribution of these proteins across various brain regions and various tissues, as well as gene ontology curation to gain functional insights, as this information is useful for understanding the potential for off-target adverse effects. Our findings represent initial steps towards the development of multi-target glioblastoma therapy and may aid future work exploring similar therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) prognosis remains extremely poor despite standard treatment that includes temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy. To discover new GBM drug targets and biomarkers, genes signatures associated with survival and TMZ resistance in GBM patients treated with TMZ were identified. Methods: GBM cases in The Cancer Genome Atlas who received TMZ (n = 221) were stratified into subgroups that differed by median overall survival (mOS) using network-based stratification to cluster patients whose somatic mutations affected genes in similar modules of a gene interaction network. Gene signatures formed from differentially mutated genes in the subgroup with the longest mOS were used to confirm their association with survival and TMZ resistance in independent datasets. Somatic mutations in these genes also were assessed for an association with OS in an independent group of 37 GBM cases. Results: Among the four subgroups identified, subgroup four (n = 71 subjects) exhibited the longest mOS at 18.3 months (95% confidence interval: 16.2, 34.1; p = 0.0324). Subsets of the 86 genes that were differentially mutated in this subgroup formed 20-gene and 8-gene signatures that predicted OS in two independent datasets (Spearman's rho of 0.64 and 0.58 between actual and predicted OS; p < 0.001). Patients with mutations in five of the 86 genes had longer OS in a small, independent sample of 37 GBM cases, but this association did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.07). Thirty-one of the 86 genes formed signatures that distinguished TMZ-resistant GBM samples from controls in three independent datasets (area under the curve ≥ 0.75). The prognostic and TMZ-resistance signatures had eight genes in common (ANG, BACH1, CDKN2C, HMGA1, IFI16, PADI4, SDF4, and TP53INP1). The latter three genes have not been associated with GBM previously. Conclusion: PADI4, SDF4, and TP53INP1 are novel therapy and biomarker candidates for GBM. Further investigation of their oncologic functions may provide new insight into GBM treatment resistance mechanisms.

An untapped window of opportunity for glioma: targeting therapy-induced senescence prior to recurrence. NPJ Precis Oncol 2023; 7:126. [PMID: 38030881 PMCID: PMC10687268 DOI: 10.1038/s41698-023-00476-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 10/24/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
High-grade gliomas are primary brain tumors that are incredibly refractory long-term to surgery and chemoradiation, with no proven durable salvage therapies for patients that have failed conventional treatments. Post-treatment, the latent glioma and its microenvironment are characterized by a senescent-like state of mitotic arrest and a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) induced by prior chemoradiation. Although senescence was once thought to be irreversible, recent evidence has demonstrated that cells may escape this state and re-enter the cell cycle, contributing to tumor recurrence. Moreover, senescent tumor cells could spur the growth of their non-senescent counterparts, thereby accelerating recurrence. In this review, we highlight emerging evidence supporting the use of senolytic agents to ablate latent, senescent-like cells that could contribute to tumor recurrence. We also discuss how senescent cell clearance can decrease the SASP within the tumor microenvironment thereby reducing tumor aggressiveness at recurrence. Finally, senolytics could improve the long-term sequelae of prior therapy on cognition and bone marrow function. We critically review the senolytic drugs currently under preclinical and clinical investigation and the potential challenges that may be associated with deploying senolytics against latent glioma. In conclusion, senescence in glioma and the microenvironment are critical and potential targets for delaying or preventing tumor recurrence and improving patient functional outcomes through senotherapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cellular senescence is defined as an irreversible cell cycle arrest caused by various internal and external insults. While the metabolic dysfunction of senescent cells in normal tissue is relatively well-established, there is a lack of information regarding the metabolic features of senescent tumor cells. METHODS Publicly available single-cell RNA-sequencing data from the GSE166555 and GSE178341 datasets were utilized to investigate the metabolic features of senescent tumor cells. To validate the single-cell RNA-sequencing data, we performed senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining to identify senescent tumor cells in fresh frozen colorectal cancer tissue. We also evaluated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide dehydrogenase-tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity using enzyme histochemical methods and compared the staining with SA-β-Gal staining. MTT assay was performed to reveal the complex 1 activity of the respiratory chain in in-vitro senescence model. RESULTS Single-cell RNA-sequencing data revealed an upregulation in the activity of complexes 1 and 2 in oxidative phosphorylation, despite overall mitochondrial dysfunction in senescent tumor cells. Both SA-β-Gal and enzyme histochemical staining using fresh frozen colorectal cancer tissues indicated a high correlation between SA-β-Gal positivity and NADH-TR/SDH staining positivity. MTT assay showed that senescent colorectal cancer cells exhibit higher absorbance in 600 nm wavelength. CONCLUSIONS Senescent tumor cells exhibit distinct metabolic features, characterized by upregulation of complexes 1 and 2 in the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. NADH-TR and SDH staining represent efficient methods for detecting senescent tumor cells in colorectal cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioblastoma (GBM) harbors significant genetic heterogeneity, high infiltrative capacity, and patterns of relapse following many therapies. The expression of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB p65 (RelA)) and signaling pathways is constitutively activated in GBM through inflammatory stimulation such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), cell invasion, motility, abnormal physiological stimuli, and inducible chemoresistance. However, the underlying anti-tumor and anti-proliferative mechanisms of NF-κB p65 (RelA) and TNFα are still poorly defined. This study aimed to investigate the expression profiling of NF-κB p65 (RelA) and TNFα as well as the effectiveness of celecoxib along with temozolomide (TMZ) in reducing the growth of the human GBM cell line SF-767. METHODS genome-wide expression profiling, enrichment analysis, immune infiltration, quantitative expression, and the Microculture Tetrazolium Test (MTT) proliferation assay were performed to appraise the effects of celecoxib and TMZ. RESULTS demonstrated the upregulation of NF-κB p65 (RelA) and TNFα and celecoxib reduced the viability of the human glioblastoma cell line SF-767, cell proliferation, and NF-κB p65 (RelA) and TNFα expression in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, these findings demonstrate for the first time how celecoxib therapy could mitigate the invasive characteristics of the human GBM cell line SF-767 by inhibiting the NF-κB mediated stimulation of the inflammatory cascade. CONCLUSION based on current findings, we propose that celecoxib as a drug candidate in combination with temozolomide might dampen the transcriptional and enzymatic activities associated with the aggressiveness of GBM and reduce the expression of GBM-associated NF-κB p65 (RelA) and TNFα inflammatory genes expression.

Abstract
While it is well established that the KEAP1-NRF2 pathway regulates the main inducible cellular response to oxidative stress, this cytoprotective function of NRF2 could become deleterious to the host if it confers survival onto irreparably damaged cells. In this regard, we have found that in diseased states, NRF2 promotes the transcriptional activation of a specific subset of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) gene program, which we have named the NRF2-induced secretory phenotype (NISP). In two models of hepatic disease using Pten::Keap1 and Keap1::Atg7 double knockout mice, we found that the NISP functions in the liver to recruit CCR2 expressing monocytes, which function as immune system effector cells to directly remove the damaged cells. Through activation of this immune surveillance pathway, in non-transformed cells, NRF2 functions as a tumour suppressor to mitigate the long-term survival of damaged cells which otherwise would be detrimental for host survival. This pathway represents the final stage of the oxidative stress response, as it allows cells to be safely removed if the macromolecular damage caused by the original stressor is so extensive that it is beyond the repair capacity of the cell.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glioma is the most common primary brain tumor and is often associated with treatment resistance and poor prognosis. Standard treatment typically involves radiotherapy and temozolomide-based chemotherapy, both of which induce cellular senescence-a tumor suppression mechanism. DISCUSSION Gliomas employ various mechanisms to bypass or escape senescence and remain in a proliferative state. Importantly, senescent cells remain viable and secrete a large number of factors collectively known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that, paradoxically, also have pro-tumorigenic effects. Furthermore, senescent cells may represent one form of tumor dormancy and play a role in glioma recurrence and progression. CONCLUSION In this article, we delineate an overview of senescence in the context of gliomas, including the mechanisms that lead to senescence induction, bypass, and escape. Furthermore, we examine the role of senescent cells in the tumor microenvironment and their role in tumor progression and recurrence. Additionally, we highlight potential therapeutic opportunities for targeting senescence in glioma.

Radiation-Induced Cellular Senescence Reduces Susceptibility of Glioblastoma Cells to Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3341.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is a malignant brain cancer refractory to the current standard of care, prompting an extensive search for novel strategies to improve outcomes. One approach under investigation is oncolytic virus (OV) therapy in combination with radiotherapy. In addition to the direct cytocidal effects of radiotherapy, radiation induces cellular senescence in GBM cells. Senescent cells cease proliferation but remain viable and are implicated in promoting tumor progression. The interaction of viruses with senescent cells is nuanced; some viruses exploit the senescent state to their benefit, while others are hampered, indicating senescence-associated antiviral activity. It is unknown how radiation-induced cellular senescence may impact the oncolytic properties of OVs based on the vaccinia virus (VACV) that are used in combination with radiotherapy. To better understand this, we induced cellular senescence by treating GBM cells with radiation, and then evaluated the growth kinetics, infectivity, and cytotoxicity of an oncolytic VACV, ∆F4LΔJ2R, as well as wild-type VACV in irradiated senescence-enriched and non-irradiated human GBM cell lines. Our results show that both viruses display attenuated oncolytic activities in irradiated senescence-enriched GBM cell populations compared to non-irradiated controls. These findings indicate that radiation-induced cellular senescence is associated with antiviral activity and highlight important considerations for the combination of VACV-based oncolytic therapies with senescence-inducing agents such as radiotherapy.
