The multifaceted effects of lactoferrin (LF) on the digestive and immune systems make it an attractive therapeutic option in inflammatory bowel diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the anti-inflammatory effects of LF in colitis, particularly in relation to cellular senescence. We hypothesize that LF has the potential to modulate the senescence process. The effects of LF on senescence were tested in vitro using HCT116 and SW480 cell lines, and in vivo, the dextran sulfate sodium-induced mouse model of colitis. LF (500 mg/kg) alleviated symptoms of colitis in mice with a significant decrease in colon damage (P < .0001 vs. control) and microscopic (P < .05 vs. control) scores. Cellular senescence markers p16 and p21 were significantly upregulated in the mouse colon during inflammation (both P < .01 vs. control), and LF at 500 mg/kg decreased these markers (both P < .05 vs. dextran sulfate sodium-treated mice). In vitro, LF significantly affected the expression of p16 and p21 (P < .05-P < .0001 vs. control), senescence associated secretory phenotype (P < .01-P < .0001 vs. control), and telomere-specific proteins: telomeric repeat binding factor 1 and 2 (P < .05-P < .0001 vs. control) in a concentration-dependent manner. LF modulates the expression of cellular senescence markers and shows hallmarks of senolytic and pro-senescent activity, depending on dose. Further studies are needed to fully understand the anti-inflammatory effect of LF in the context of senescence and safe utilization in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.
