Targeted Senescence Profiling in Kidney Disease Preclinical Models

Inquiry

Ace Therapeutics delivers specialized preclinical senescence & aging profiling services for kidney disease research, offering advanced in vitro models and biomarker analysis to accelerate drug discovery.

Cellular Senescence in Kidney Disease

Cellular senescence, a state of irreversible cell cycle arrest triggered by stressors like DNA damage or oxidative stress, is increasingly recognized as a key driver of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. In renal tissues, persistent senescent cells promote fibrosis, inflammation, and functional impairment through the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and extracellular matrix remodeling factors. Profiling these aging-related mechanisms provides a foundation for identifying novel therapeutic interventions in preclinical research.

Key Services for Senescence Analysis in Renal Models

Our scientifically validated approaches are designed to replicate disease-specific microenvironments and quantify senescence hallmarks.

Senescence-Associated β-Galactosidase (SA-β-gal) Quantification Under Stress Conditions

Hypoxia and oxidative stress induction to mimic CKD-associated microenvironments.
High-throughput SA-β-gal staining with quantitative image analysis.
Customizable stressor combinations (e.g., TGF-β, albumin overload).

Senolytic Drug Screening via p16/p21 Pathway Modulation

Mechanistic evaluation of senolytic candidates using qPCR and Western blot.
Dose-response studies for pathway inhibition efficiency.
Cross-validation with apoptosis/viability assays (Annexin V, CCK-8).

Telomere Length Dynamics in CKD-Mimicking Systems

Flow cytometry-FISH (Flow-FISH) for telomere length assessment.
Chronic stress exposure protocols to accelerate telomere attrition.
Correlation analysis with senescence markers.

Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) Profiling

Multiplex cytokine analysis (IL-6, MMP-3, PAI-1).
SASP modulation studies under therapeutic intervention.
Custom panels available for renal-specific biomarkers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do your models replicate CKD-associated senescence?

We employ primary renal cells and immortalized lines exposed to CKD-mimicking stressors (e.g., hypoxia, uremic toxins). Microenvironment customization ensures physiological relevance.

What distinguishes your telomere analysis from standard assays?

Flow-FISH allows single-cell resolution, enabling correlation between telomere length and senescence markers in heterogeneous populations.

Can SASP profiling be tailored to specific research needs?

Yes. Our team designs custom multiplex panels aligned with renal pathophysiology, including TGF-β, collagenases, or fibrosis-related factors.

How are senolytic screening results interpreted?

Data include p16/p21 suppression levels, viability changes, and SASP modulation to differentiate senolytic vs. cytotoxic effects.
