Description
Summary:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an increasing major public health problem worldwide. And CKD shares numerous phenotypic similarities with kidney as well as systemic ageing. Cellular senescence is mainly characterized by a stable cell cycle arrest, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and senescent cell anti-apoptotic pathways (SCAPs). Herein, the regulations and the internal mechanisms of cellular senescence will be discussed. Meanwhile, efforts are made to give a comprehensive overview of the recent advances of the implication of cellular senescence in CKD. To date, numerous studies have focused on the effects of ageing risk factors in kidney and thereby trying to interrupt the kidney ageing processes with senolytics. Interestingly, some of them showed enormous clinical application potentials. Therefore, senotherapeutics can be applied as novel potential strategies for the treatment of CKD.
