Teng-Long-Bu-Zhong-Tang (TLBZT) is a Chinese herbal formula for colorectal carcinoma treatment. TLBZT effectively induces cell senescence in colorectal carcinoma, accompanied by p21 upregulation. In this study, we further explored the role of p21 in TLBZT-induced cell senescence, as well as the mechanism by which TLBZT upregulates p21. Specific knockdown of p21 expression by small interfering RNA significantly attenuated TLBZT-induced cell senescence in human colorectal carcinoma LS174T cells. Silencing of p53 by small interfering RNA did not affect TLBZT-induced p21 upregulation. Meanwhile, TLBZT inhibited histone deacetylase activity. Furthermore, TLBZT increased acetylation levels of histone H3 and H4, enhancing their binding to the p21 promoter. These data suggested that TLBZT induces cell senescence in LS174T cells through a mechanism involving p21 upregulation via histone H3 and H4 acetylation. This study provides new insights into the application of TLBZT for colorectal carcinoma treatment.

Cytotoxic DNAs, methylation, histones and histones binding proteins are speculated to induce DNA sensors. Under stressed condition, the antigenic patterns, PAMPs and DAMPs, trigger the hyperactive innate response through DNA, DNA-RNA hybrids, oligonucleotides, histones and mtDNA to initiate cGAMP-STING-IFN I cascade. HSV -1&2, HIV, Varicella- Zoster virus, Polyomavirus, Cytomegalovirus, and KSHV negatively regulate the STING-MAVS-TBK-1/1KKE pathway.

Aging is an inevitable physiological process in organisms, and the development of tumors is closely associated with cellular senescence. This article initially examines the role of cellular senescence in tumorigenesis, emphasizing the correlation between telomere length-a marker of cellular senescence-and tumor risk. Concurrently, the study explores the expression levels of senescence-associated markers, such as p16, p53, and mTOR, in the context of tumor development.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with the acceleration of lung aging, and the accumulation of senescent cells in lung tissue. MicroRNA (miR)-34a induces senescence by suppressing the anti-aging molecule, sirtuin-1 (SIRT1). Senescent cells spread senescence to neighbouring and distant cells, favouring COPD progression and its comorbidities.

Background: This study aimed to investigate potential cellular senescence inhibitory genes (CSIGs) and discover novel therapeutic targets in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: Dysregulated CSIGs were identified based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Human Aging Genomic Resources (HAGR) database. Prognostic value and immune infiltration were assessed through bioinformatic analysis.
