Pre-senescent fibroblasts are under replication stress. (a) Scheme of induced cellular senescence by serial passaging. Pre-senescent cells (two passages before RS) were analyzed. B-C DNA combing from asynchronous cells successively labeled with IdU (red) and with CldU (green) of proliferative (b) and pre-senescent (c) IMR90 fibroblasts. DNA fibers are shown in blue. (d) Inter-Origin Distance and fork velocity are significantly decreased in pre-senescent IMR90 fibroblasts. (e-g) Mapping short nascent strands (SNSs) by DNA sequencing detected fewer origins peaks (e), a decreased size of initiation zones (f) and increased number of regions without detectable origins (g).
