The cardiovascular system operates under continuous cyclic mechanical stretch, and changes in mechanics and biochemical responses observed in cardiovascular disorders activate the cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and increase cellular senescence in the tissue. However, it is unclear if cellular senescence is initiated from biomechanical stimulus alone. Here, we subjected murine CFs to uniaxial stretch and perturbed the mechanical stimulation to examine the impact on induction of a senescent phenotype. Loss of stretch magnitude and increase in frequency, mimicking an injurious hypertrophic or fibrotic response, led to a senescence-like phenotype, including cell cycle, lamin B expression, and DNA damage. Mechanical induction of CF senescence relied on p53/p21, whereas CF senescence induction triggered by reactive oxygen species or involving a mutation in lamin A/C gene occurred through p16. Moreover, mechanical induction of premature senescence was associated with decreases in the nuclear envelope protein emerin. These results demonstrate perturbed mechanical stimulation can initiate a senescent state and altered nuclear integrity may initiate this phenotype. TeaserPerturbed mechanics initiates a premature senescent-like phenotype in cardiac fibroblasts.
