Damage to our genome causes acute senescence in mammalian cells, which undergo growth arrest and release a secretome that elicits cell cycle arrest in bystander cells through the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Thus, acute senescence is a powerful tumour suppressor. Salmonella enterica hijacks senescence through its typhoid toxin, which usurps unidentified factors in the stress secretome of senescent cells to mediate intracellular infections. Here, transcriptomics of toxin-induced senescent cells (txSCs) and proteomics of their secretome identified secreted ligands that activate the TGF{beta} pathway through SMAD transcription factors. The ligand Wnt5a established a self-amplifying positive feedback loop driving TGF{beta} signalling, which enforced autocrine senescence in txSCs and paracrine senescence in naive bystander cells by activation of DDRs. Wnt5a and GDF15 increased host cell susceptibility to infection. The study reveals how an innate defence against cancer is co-opted by a bacterial pathogen to cause widespread damage and mediate infections.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
