Protein kinase CKII (CKII) plays a critical role in cell growth and proliferation. In this study, we examine how CKII activity is regulated during cellular senescence. Our results demonstrate that CKII activity apparently decreases during both replicative and H2O2-induced senescence in human diploid fibroblast IMR-90 cells. The mRNA and protein levels of CKII alpha decreases significantly during replicative and H2O2-induced senescence, while only slight reduction in those of CKII beta is observed during replicative senescence. Treatment of IMR-90 cells with CKII inhibitors 5,6-dichloro-1-beta-D-ribofuranosylbenzimidazole and apigenin led cells to acquire a senescent phenotype as judged by the senescence-associated P-galactosidase marker and overexpression of p53 and p21(Waf-1). Knockdown of CKII alpha in IMR-90 cells by RNA interference also dramatically induced the senescent phenotype. In parallel, CKII activity was transcriptional downregulated in rat liver and testis with advancing age. Taken together, these results suggest that downregulation of CKII activity is tightly associated not only with cellular senescence but also with organism aging.
