Abstract

Cellular senescence has a complex role in lymphocyte carcinogenesis and drug resistance of lymphomas. Senescent lymphoma cells combine with immunocytes to create an ageing environment that can be reprogrammed with a senescence‑associated secretory phenotype, which gradually promotes therapeutic resistance. Certain signalling pathways, such as the NF‑κB, Wnt and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways, regulate the tumour ageing microenvironment and induce the proliferation and progression of lymphoma cells. Therefore, targeting senescence‑related enzymes or their signal transduction pathways may overcome radiotherapy or chemotherapy resistance and enhance the efficacy of relapsed/refractory lymphoma treatments. Mechanisms underlying drug resistance in lymphomas are complex. The ageing microenvironment is a novel factor that contributes to drug resistance in lymphomas. In terms of clinical translation, some senolytics have been used in clinical trials on patients with relapsed or refractory lymphoma. Combining immunotherapy with epigenetic drugs may achieve better therapeutic effects; however, senescent cells exhibit considerable heterogeneity and lymphoma has several subtypes. Extensive research is necessary to achieve the practical application of senolytics in relapsed or refractory lymphomas. This review summarises the mechanisms of senescence‑associated drug resistance in lymphoma, as well as emerging strategies using senolytics, to overcome therapeutic resistance in lymphoma.
