Targeting XPO1/DDX1-mediated nuclear export of R-loops in inflammaging [RIP-Seq]

Notably, these cytoplasmic R-loops localize into cytoplasmic chromatin fragments (CCF) to induce cGAS-STING innate immune response, and this nucleocytoplasmic transport is dependent on exportin 1 (XPO1)/DEAD-Box helicase 1 (DDX1) complex. Targeting R-loop nuclear export by XPO1 inhibitor Selinexor (KPT-330) suppresses the inflammatory response in senescent cells and relieves inflammaging in aged mice. In summary, our findings linked aberrant accumulation of cytoplasmic R-loops to inflammaging, rendering their nucleocytoplasmic transport process an ideal target for suppressing inflammaging.
