“…Numerous studies previously demonstrated that plasma levels of MCP‐1 correlate with chronologic age in humans (Brouwers et al., ; Deo et al., ; Inadera, Egashira, Takemoto, Ouchi & Matsushima, ; Mansfield et al., ; Pinke et al., ; Scully et al., ) and mice (Chiao et al., ). Monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 is a senescence‐associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factor secreted by senescent cells (Jin et al., ). Senescence‐associated secretory phenotype can promote secondary senescence in healthy cells (Coppe, Desprez, Krtolica & Campisi, ), and senescent cells have been demonstrated to promote aging and age‐related disease (Baker et al., , ; Zhu et al., ).…”
