- Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory vascular disease, and aging is a major risk factor. The accumulation of senescent vascular endothelial cells (VECs) often leads to chronic inflammation and oxidative stress and induces endothelial dysfunction, contributing to the occurrence and development of AS. Senescent cells can secrete a variety of pro‐inflammatory cytokines to induce the senescence of adjacent cells in a paracrine manner, leading to the transmission of signaling of cellular senescence to neighboring cells and the accumulation of senescent cells. Recent studies have demonstrated that several pro‐inflammatory cytokines, including IL‐17, TNF‐α, and IFN‐γ, can induce the senescence of VECs. This review summarizes and focuses on the pro‐inflammatory cytokines that often induce the senescence of VECs and the molecular mechanisms of these pro‐inflammatory cytokines inducing senescence of VECs. Targeting the senescence of VECs induced by pro‐inflammatory cytokines may provide a potential and novel strategy for the prevention and treatment of AS.
