Time parameter and secretory cycle in acinar cells of the pancreas were studied after atropine, trazilol, pilocarpine administration, and subtotal resection of the small intestine. The duration of secretory cycle was found to be about 45 min. in intact rats. Atropine and trazilol suppressed the secretion process, first inhibiting the release of the formed product and then reducing the synthesis. Pilocarpine first accelerated but very soon decreased the synthetic process. A marked acceleration of synthesis and intensification of secretory cycle in glandular cells occurred in postresectional period. Interrelationships of intracellular mechanisms for the product release and synthesis of new protein molecules, are discussed.

Cellular senescence is an essentially irreversible cell cycle arrest associated with upregulated inflammatory responses that contribute to various pathological and physiological processes, including aging, cancer, and cancer prevention. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we show that the downregulation of CNOT3, a subunit of the CCR4-NOT complex that deadenylates mRNA poly(A) tails, promotes cellular senescence in subpopulation of A549 human non-small cell lung cancer cells.

As emerging therapeutic strategies for aging and age-associated diseases, various biochemical approaches have been developed to selectively remove senescent cells, but how physical stimulus influences senescent cells and its possible application in senolytic therapy has not been reported yet. Here we developed a physical method to selectively stimulate senescent cells via low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment. LIPUS stimulation did not affect the cell cycle, but selectively enhanced secretion of specific cytokines in senescent cells, known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), resulting in enhanced migration of monocytes/macrophages and upregulation of phagocytosis of senescent cells by M1 macrophage.

Antibody functionalized curcuma-derived extracellular vesicles loaded with doxorubicin overcome therapy-induced senescence and enhance chemotherapy.

Conventional cancer treatments often induce a sustained DNA damage response (DDR) in tumor cells, leading to therapy-induced senescence (TIS), characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest and resistance to apoptosis. These senescent cells secrete senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASP), which can promote tumor progression and create an immunosuppressive microenvironment. This study introduces a novel approach to enhance chemotherapy efficacy by using functionalized curcuma-derived extracellular vesicles (DR5-CNV/DOX) to target and eliminate senescent tumor cells and inhibit their SASP.
