ABSTRACT
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is an age-related disease. Although changes in function and proliferation of aged ß cells resemble those preceding the development of diabetes, the contribution of ß cell aging and senescence remains unclear. We generated a ß cell senescence signature and found that insulin resistance accelerates ß cell senescence leading to loss of function and cellular identity and worsening metabolic profile. Senolysis (removal of senescent cells), using either a transgenic INK-ATTAC model or oral ABT263, improved glucose metabolism and ß cell function while decreasing expression of markers of aging, senescence, and senescence-associated secretory profile (SASP). Beneficial effects of senolysis were observed in an aging model as well as with insulin resistance induced both pharmacologically (S961) and physiologically (high-fat diet). Human senescent ß cells also responded to senolysis, establishing the foundation for translation. These novel findings lay the framework to pursue senolysis of ß cells as a preventive and alleviating strategy for T2D.
