Progressive telomere shortening during lifespan is associated with increased genome instability, block to cell proliferation and aging. Apoptosis and senescence are the two main cellular outcomes upon irreversible cell damage. In this study, we show a transition between apoptosis to senescence in cells of two independent tissues in telomerase zebrafish mutants. In young mutants, proliferative tissues exhibit defects in cell proliferation and p53-dependent apoptosis, but no senescence. Progressively, these tissues display signs of tissue dysfunction, loss of cellularity and increased senescence. These alterations are accompanied by an activation of pro-proliferative stimulus mediated by AKT. Consequently, FoxO1 and FoxO4 transcriptional factors are inactivated, reducing SOD2 levels, causing an increase in ROS. These alterations elicit the activation of the zebrafish p16/15 and senescence. Thus, upon telomere shortening in aging, early apoptosis induces compensatory proliferation. However, progressive decline in cell proliferation results in tissue damage and proliferative signals, promoting a switch to senescence.
