It has been known that senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) triggers senescence of the surrounding normal cells. However, SASP signaling regarding mesenchymal stromal cell aging remains to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the present study aimed to clarify the molecular mechanism of late (passage) MSC-induced paracrine SASP-mediated senescence of early (passage) MSCs during ex vivo expansion. Here, we conducted an extensive characterization of senescence features in bone-marrow (BM)-derived MSCs from healthy human donors. Late MSCs displayed an enlarged senescent-like morphology, induced SASP-related proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1α and IL-8), and reduced clonogenic capacity and osteogenic differentiation when compared to early MSCs. Of note, paracrine effects of SASP-related IL-1α and IL-8 from late MSCs induced cellular senescence of early MSCs via an NF-κB-dependent manner. Moreover, cellular senescence of early MSCs was promoted by the synergistic action of IL-1α and IL-8. However, inhibition of NF-κB by shRNA transfection or using inhibitors in early MSCs blocked early MSCs cellular senescence caused by paracrine SASP of late MSCs. In conclusion, these findings reveal that late MSCs display features of senescence and that, during ex vivo expansion, SASP-related proinflammatory cytokines contribute to activate a cellular senescence program in early MSCs that may ultimately impair their functionality.
