PG - 296 LID - 10.31083/j.fbl2811296 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Exposure to low dose rate (LDR) radiation may accelerate aging processes. Previously, we identified numerous LDR-induced pathways involved in oxidative stress (OS) and antioxidant systems, suggesting that these pathways protect against premature senescence (PS). This study aimed to investigate if there are differences between young replicative senescent (RS) and PS cells considering DNA repair kinetics, OS, and DNA damage localized in the telomeres. METHODS: We established PS cells by culturing and passaging young primary fibroblasts exposed to LDR. Then, RS cells were established by culturing and passaging young fibroblasts until they stopped proliferating. Senescence was characterized by analyzing telomere length and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase (SA-beta-gal) staining. DNA damage and repair were evaluated with gammaH2AX foci formation; telomere identification was carried out using the fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe; and oxidative stress was assessed by measuring 8-oxo-dG in the medium. RESULTS: The data indicate the following: young cells have a better ability to cope with LDR-induced oxidative stress; RS and PS have higher steady-state levels of DNA damage; RS have slower DNA repair kinetics; and PS/RS have elevated levels of telomeric DNA damage. CONCLUSION: Our main conclusion is that PS and RS differ regarding DNA repair kinetics and SA-beta-gal levels. CI - (c) 2023 The Author(s). Published by IMR Press.
