Chemotherapy-Induced Adipo-Lineage Cell Senescence Drives Bone Loss, Ganesh Kumar Raut, Taylor Malachowski, Anupama Melam, Renata Ramalho-Oliveira, Taylor Holt, Xianmin Luo, Zhangting Yao, Douglas V Faget, Qihao Ren, David G Denardo, Sheila A Stewart

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Chemotherapy-induced bone loss is a debilitating and common side effect of cancer treatment, though its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here, we show that, despite the systemic administration of chemotherapy, cellular senescence is restricted to bone marrow adipo-lineage cells specifically Cxcl12-abundant reticular (CAR) cells and bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds). Induction of senescence within these populations promotes RANK ligand (RANKL)-mediated osteoclastogenesis, leading to significant bone loss. Notably, we find that inhibition of the p38MAPK-MK2 pathway suppresses the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), including RANKL production abrogating bone loss. Furthermore, treatment with the senolytic combination dasatinib and quercetin (D + Q) selectively eliminates …
