Objective: To explore whether hydrogen sulphide (H2S) could protect human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) from senescence and the possible underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Cell cycle assay and Ki-67 assay were used to measure proliferation of PDLSCs. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to measure cellular senescence-related p16 and p21. Calcium influx was detected by measurement of Ca2+ imaging. In addition, we analysed the possible mechanisms underlying H2S acting on PDLSCs by microarray.
Results: The cell proliferation rate of aging PDLSCs decreased significantly. The expression of cellular senescence-related p16 and p21 significantly increased in aging PDLSCs. H2S donor (GYY4137) treatment increased the proliferation rate of senescence PDLSCs. Furthermore, the donor of H2S treatment effectively prevented cell cycle arrest of PDLSCs during the aging process and inhibited the expression of cellular senescence-related markers. Mechanically, H2S donor treatment could activate the calcium influx in PDLSCs. Moreover, pretreatment with TRPV4 inhibitors significantly attenuated the calcium influx induced by H2S donor treatment in PDLSCs. It also alleviated the protective effect of H2S on the senescence of PDLSCs.
Conclusion: H2S alleviated the senescence of human PDLSCs by TRPV4 channel mediated calcium flux. These results provide a potential strategy to deal with cell aging and may facilitate cell therapy for oral diseases.

The aim of this study is to screen key target genes of osteoarthritis associated with aging and to preliminarily explore the associated immune infiltration cells and potential drugs. Differentially expressed senescence-related genes (DESRGs) selected from Cellular senescence-related genes (SRGs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed using Gene Ontology enrichment, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways and protein-protein interaction networks. Hub genes in DESRGs were selected based on degree, and diagnostic genes were further screened by gene expression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor and is frequently diagnosed in juvenile. Cellular senescence is a fundamental hallmark of osteosarcoma and plays a vital role in the initiation and progression of aging and tumorigenesis. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in tumorigenesis.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising candidates for regenerative therapies due to their self-renewal and differentiation capabilities. Pathological microenvironments expose MSCs to senescence-inducing factors such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), resulting in MSC functional decline and loss of stemness. Oxidative stress leads to mitochondrial dysfunction, a hallmark of senescence, and is prevalent in aging tissues characterized by elevated ROS levels.
