Abstract | Cellular senescence is a state of terminal proliferative arrest that plays key roles in aging by preventing stem cell renewal and by inducing the expression of a series of inflammatory factors including many secreted proteins with paracrine effects. The in vivo identification of senescent cells is difficult due to the absence of universal biomarkers. Chromatin modifications are key aspects of the senescence transition and may provide novel biomarkers. We used a combined protein profiling and bottom-up mass spectrometry approach to characterize the isoforms and post-translational modifications of chromatin proteins over time in post-mitotic human fibroblasts in vitro. We show that the H2B type 1-K variant is specifically enriched in deep senescent cells with persistent DNA damage. This accumulation was not observed in quiescent cells or in cells induced into senescence without DNA damage by expression of the RAF kinase. Similarly, HMGA1a di-methylated and HMGA1b tri-phosphorylated forms accumulated exclusively in the chromatin of cells in deep senescent conditions with persistent DNA damage. H2B type 1-K and modified HMGA1 may thus represent novel biomarkers of senescent cells containing persistent DNA damage. |
