Abstract (original English)

Background/aim Exposure to particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) can lead to cellular senescence by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). Box A, a DNA-binding domain found in HMGB1, is known for its ability to counteract aging characteristics. This study explored whether BoxA-induced adipose-derived stem cells secretome (BoxA-SC) can reverse senescence in DP and HWPc cells. Materials and methods The stemness characteristics and reversal of senescence by BoxA-SC in PM2.5-induced DP and HWPc cells were assessed at the mRNA level using RT-qPCR and at the protein level using immunofluorescence analysis. Results BoxA-SC (1:20) treatment for 48 h induced stemness and reversed PM2.5-induced cell senescence in DP and HWPc cells. BoxA-SC significantly reduced senescence markers, including SA-β-gal staining, and decreased mRNA levels of senescence-associated secretory phenotype factors (IL1α, IL7, CXCL1) in PM2.5-induced senescent cells. DP and HWPc cells exposed to PM2.5 exhibited an increase in p21 and p16 mRNA and protein levels, which was reversed by BoxA-SC. BoxA-SC reduced p21 and p16 in DP senescent cells approximately 3- and 2-fold, respectively, compared to untreated senescent cells. Conclusion BoxA-SC can potentially reverse cellular senescence, highlighting the therapeutic potential of stem cells in skin rejuvenation and anti-aging treatments.
