mTOR dysregulation induces IL6 and paracrine AT2 cell senescence impeding lung repair in lymphangioleiomyomatosis
2024-05-05
Abstract excerpt
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease which causes lung cysts and respiratory failure. TSC2 deficient ‘LAM cells’ with dysregulated mTOR signalling form nodules with fibroblasts causing lung injury. We examined if mTOR dysregulation could induce senescence and impair responses to lung injury. Senescence markers p21 and p16 were increased in LAM lungs and co-localised with alveolar type 2 cells. The SenM...
