Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fatal disease characterized by
interstitial remodelling, leading to compromised lung function. Cellular
senescence markers are detectable within IPF lung tissue and senescent cell
deletion rejuvenates pulmonary health in aged mice. Whether and how senescent
cells regulate IPF or if their removal may be an efficacious intervention
strategy is unknown. Here we demonstrate elevated abundance of senescence
biomarkers in IPF lung, with p16 expression increasing with disease severity. We
show that the secretome of senescent fibroblasts, which are selectively killed by
a senolytic cocktail, dasatinib plus quercetin (DQ), is fibrogenic. Leveraging
the bleomycin-injury IPF model, we demonstrate that early-intervention
suicide-gene-mediated senescent cell ablation improves pulmonary function and
physical health, although lung fibrosis is visibly unaltered. DQ treatment
replicates benefits of transgenic clearance. Thus, our findings establish that
fibrotic lung disease is mediated, in part, by senescent cells, which can be
targeted to improve health and function.
