Abstract EN

Our and other groups have found that bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) from systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients exhibited senescent behavior and are involved in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Numerous studies have shown that activation of the p53/p21 pathway inhibits the proliferation of BM-MSCs.

The aim of this study was to determine whether p53/p21 pathway is involved in regulating the aging of BM-MSCs from SLE patients and the underlying mechanisms.

We further confirmed that BM-MSCs from SLE patients showed characteristics of senescence.

The expressions of p53 and p21 were significantly increased, whereas levels of Cyclin E, cyclin-dependent kinase-2, and phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein were decreased in the BM-MSCs from SLE patients and knockdown of p21 expression reversed the senescent features of BM-MSCs from SLE patients.

Our results demonstrated that p53/p21 pathway played an important role in the senescence process of BM-MSCs from SLE.
