Astrocyte senescence: Evidence and significance

Aging Cell
Justin Cohen, Claudio Torres

Abstract

Astrocytes participate in numerous aspects of central nervous system (CNS) physiology ranging from ion balance to metabolism, and disruption of their physiological roles can therefore be a contributor to CNS dysfunction and pathology. Cellular senescence, one of the mechanisms of aging, has been proposed as a central component of the age dependency of neurodegenerative disorders. Cumulative evidence supports an integral role of astrocytes in the initiation and progression of neurodegenerative disease and cognitive decline with aging. The loss of astrocyte function or the gain of neuroinflammatory function as a result of cellular senescence could have profound implications for the aging brain and neurodegenerative disorders, and we propose the term "astrosenescence" to describe this phenotype. This review summarizes the current evidence pertaining to astrocyte senescence from early evidence, in vitro characterization and relationship to age-related neurodegenerative disease. We discuss the significance of targeting senescent astrocytes as a novel approach toward therapies for age-associated neurodegenerative disease.

Astrocytes & Neurodegeneration

Astrocytes are important for the health and function of the central nervous system. When these cells stop functioning properly, either through gain of function or loss of homeostatic controls, neurodegenerative diseases can occur. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and neurodegeneration.

Astrocytes

Astrocytes are glial cells that support the blood-brain barrier, facilitate neurotransmission, provide nutrients to neurons, and help repair damaged nervous tissues. Here is the latest research.
