Abstract

Although senescent cells can be eliminated by the immune system, they tend to accumulate with age in various tissues. Here we show that senescent cells can evade immune clearance by natural killer (NK) cells by upregulating the expression of the disialylated ganglioside GD3 at their surface. The increased level of GD3 expression on senescent cells that naturally occurs upon aging in liver, lung, kidney or bones leads to a strong suppression of NK-cell-mediated immunosurveillance. In mice, we found that targeting GD3+ senescent cells with anti-GD3 immunotherapy attenuated the development of experimentally induced or age-related lung and liver fibrosis and age-related bone remodeling. These results demonstrate that GD3 upregulation confers immune privilege to senescent cells. We propose that GD3 acts as a senescence immune checkpoint (SIC) that allows senescent cells to escape immunosurveillance and to trigger immune anergy during aging
