PG - 545-555 LID - 10.1021/acschembio.1c00808 [doi] AB - Senescent cells undergo a permanent cell cycle arrest and drive a host of age-related pathologies. Recent transgenic mouse models indicate that removing cells expressing the senescence marker p16(Ink4a) (p16) can increase median lifespan and delay the onset of many aging phenotypes. However, identifying and eliminating native human cells expressing p16 has remained a challenge. We hypothesize that senescent cells display peptides derived from p16 in major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-peptide complexes on the cell surface that could serve as targetable antigens for antibody-based biologics. Using Fab-phage display technology, we generated antibodies that bind to a p16 MHC-peptide complex from the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) allele HLA-B*35:01. When converted to single-chain Fab chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) constructs, these antibodies can recognize naturally presented p16 MHC-peptide complexes on the surface of cells and activate Jurkat cells. Furthermore, we developed antibodies against predicted p16 MHC-peptide complexes for HLA-A*02:01 that specifically recognize their respective antigen on the surface of cells. These tools establish a platform to survey the surface of senescent cells and provide a potential novel senolytic strategy.
