    Abstract: Exposure to particulate matter (PM) has been associated with DNA damage, but the relationships between PM, telomere length and cellular senescence remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of PM on telomere length and cellular senescence in human lung epithelial cells. Human lung epithelial A549 cells were exposed to PM for 24 h. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were measured by the WST-1 assay and the lactate dehydrogenase release, respectively. Cellular uptake of PM was observed using transmission electron microscopy. Telomere length was measured using qPCR and expressed as T/S ratio. Cell cycle progression was analyzed by flow cytometry. Expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and cell cycle regulators was measured using mRNA by qPCR and protein levels by Western blot. Cellular senescence was determined by the expression of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) with fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. Exposed to PM at the concentration of 200 μg/ml decreased cell viability and increased LDH levels in culture medium. Remarkably increased uptake of PM, shortening of telomere length, induction of G0/G1 phase arrest, and increased expression of senescence hallmarks were observed after exposure to PM in A549 cells. PM exposure induced upregulation of p21 and downregulation of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and hTERT expression, but no significant change in p53 expression, in A549 cells. Overall, exposure to PM may downregulate hTERT and PCNA through p53-independent induction of p21 expression, leading to telomere shortening, G0/G1 arrest and the onset of cellular senescence in human lung epithelial cells.
