Loss of p62 binding allows TIF-IA accumulation in senescence, which promotes phenotypic changes to nucleoli and the senescence associated secretory phenotype

A key characteristic of senescent and ageing cells is a reduction in number and increase in size of nucleoli. Although a number of pathways have been suggested, the mechanisms underlying this altered nucleolar phenotype, and the downstream consequences, remain poorly understood. The PolI complex com...

Although a number of pathways have been suggested, the mechanisms underlying this altered nucleolar phenotype, and the downstream consequences, remain poorly understood. The PolI complex component, TIF-IA, has previously been implicated in regulating this characteristic nucleolar phenotype in response to stress. Here we explored the role of TIF-IA in senescence and ageing. We show that TIF-IA accumulation, particularly in the nucleus and nucleolus, is an early response to oncogene- and therapy-induced senescence (OIS and TIS) in vitro. Using multiple mouse models, we also demonstrate accumulation of TIF-IA in response to senescence induction and ageing in vivo. We demonstrate that TIF-IA accumulation is not required for cell cycle arrest but that in OIS and TIS, it is essential for phenotypic changes to nucleoli, the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and establishment of stable senescence. We demonstrate that in proliferating cells, TIF-IA binds the cargo receptor, p62 (SQSTM1), and that accumulation in senescence occurs as a consequence of ATM activation, which disrupts this interaction. Finally, we show that TIF-IA accumulation causes an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Together, these results establish TIF-IA accumulation as a key regulator of the nucleolar phenotype and the SASP in senescence and uncover a novel, p62-dependent mechanism driving this process. These findings offer significant new insights into nucleolar size regulation in senescence and ageing, and suggest a potential relationship with the inflammatory phenotype.The work was funded by BBSRC (BB/S018530/1), Worldwide Cancer Research (25- 0415) and Rosetrees Trust (A631, JS16/M225) to L.A.S. and CRUK (C18342/A23390) to F.O and D.MWileyUniversidad de Cantabria20262026-01-01journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501NAhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_be7fb7dd8ff6fe43info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://hdl.handle.net/10902/40171Aging Cell, 2025, 25(1), e70334reponame:UCrea Repositorio Abierto de la Universidad de Cantabriainstname:Universidad de Cantabria (UC)Inglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Attribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:dnet:ucreareposit::6b677c572632863d8b57ac741a6a05af2026-06-02T12:39:31Z
