Cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction are hallmarks of ageing, but until now their relationship has not been clear. Recent work by Wiley et al. shows that mitochondrial defects can cause a distinct senescence phenotype termed MiDAS (mitochondrial dysfunction-associated senescence). MiDAS has a specific secretome that is able to drive some of the aging phenotypes. These findings suggest novel therapeutic opportunities for treating age-related pathologies.
细胞衰老和线粒体功能障碍是衰老的标志,但到目前为止,它们之间的关系还不清楚。最近,Wiley 等人的研究表明,线粒体缺陷可导致一种特殊的衰老表型,称为 MiDAS(线粒体功能障碍相关衰老)。MiDAS 具有特定的分泌组,能够驱动部分衰老表型。这些发现为治疗与年龄相关的病理提供了新的治疗机会。
