Abstract
AbstractAlthough cellular senescence is a key factor in organismal aging, with both positive and negative effects on individuals, its mechanisms remain largely unknown. Thus, integrating knowledge is essential to explain how cellular senescence manifests in tissue damage and age-related diseases. Here, we propose an ontological model that organizes knowledge of cellular senescence in a computer-readable form. We manually annotated and defined cellular senescence processes, molecules, anatomical structures, phenotypes, and other entities based on the Homeostasis Imbalance Process ontology (HOIP). We described the mechanisms as causal relationships of processes and modelled a homeostatic imbalance between stress and stress response in cellular senescence for a unified framework. HOIP was assessed formally, and the relationships between cellular senescence and diseases were inferred for higher-order knowledge processing. We visualized cellular senescence processes to support knowledge utilization. Our study provides a knowledge base to help elucidate mechanisms linking cellular and organismal aging.
