Hyperoxia-induced senescence in fetal airway smooth muscle cells: role of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and endoplasmic reticulum stress
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: (hyperoxia) in premature infants detrimentally affects bronchial airways leading to increased senescence. Understanding the mechanisms by which hyperoxia initiates senescence in developing airways is critical for future therapeutic strategies. The current study showed that hyperoxia-induced senescence is mediated through increased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress inhibitors or mitochondria-targeted antioxidants may represent future therapies to blunt detrimental effects of supplemental oxygen in developing lungs.
