ABSTRACT
Cellular senescence is a programmed state of cell cycle arrest that involves a complex immunogenic secretome, eliciting immune surveillance and senescent cell clearance. Recent work has shown that a subpopulation of pancreatic ß-cells becomes senescent in the context of diabetes; however, it is not known whether these cells are normally subject to immune surveillance. In this opinion article, we advance the hypothesis that immune surveillance of ß-cells undergoing a senescence stress response normally limits their accumulation during aging and that the breakdown of these mechanisms is a driver of senescent ß-cell accumulation in diabetes. Elucidation and therapeutic activation of immune surveillance mechanisms in the pancreas holds promise for the improvement of approaches to target stressed senescent ß-cells in the treatment of diabetes.
