The musculoskeletal system is one of the most affected organs by aging that correlates well with an accumulation of senescent cells as for other multiple age-related pathologies. The molecular mechanisms underpinning muscle impairment because of senescent cells are still elusive. The availability of in vitro model of skeletal muscle senescence is limited and restricted to a small panel of phenotypic features of these senescent cells in vivo. Here, we developed a new in vitro model of senescent C2C12 mouse myoblasts that, when subjected to differentiation, the resulting myotubes showed sarcopenic features. To induce senescence, we used SYUIQ-5, a quindoline derivative molecule inhibitor of telomerase activity, leading to the expression of several senescent hallmarks in treated myoblasts. They had increased levels of p21 protein accordingly with the observed cell cycle arrest. Furthermore, they had enhanced SA-βgalactosidase enzyme activity and phosphorylation of p53 and histone H2AX. SYUIQ-5 senescent myoblasts had impaired differentiation potential and the resulting myotubes showed increased levels of ATROGIN-1 and MURF1, ubiquitin ligases components responsible for protein degradation, and decreased mitochondria content, typical features of sarcopenic muscles. Myotubes differentiated from senescent myoblasts cultures release increased levels of MYOSTATIN that could affect skeletal muscle cell growth. Overall, our data suggest that a greater burden of senescent muscle cells could contribute to sarcopenia. This study presents a well-defined in vitro model of muscle cell senescence useful for deeper investigation in the aging research field to discover new putative therapeutic targets and senescence biomarkers associated with the aged musculoskeletal system.
