Beta cells activate various stress responses during the development of T1D, including senescence, which involves cell cycle arrest, prosurvival signaling, and a proinflammatory secretome termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). We previously identified growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) as a major SASP factor in human islets and human EndoC-βH5 beta cells in a model of DNA damage-mediated senescence that recapitulates features of senescent beta cells in T1D. Soluble GDF15 has been shown to exert protective effects on human and mouse beta cells during various forms of stress relevant to T1D; therefore, we hypothesized that secreted GDF15 may play a prosurvival role during DNA damage-mediated senescence in human beta cells. We found that elevated GDF15 secretion was associated with endogenous senescent beta cells in an islet preparation from a T1D donor, supporting the validity of our DNA damage model. Using antibody-based neutralization, we found that secreted endogenous GDF15 was not required for senescent human islet or EndoC cell viability.
