CDKN2A and systemic sclerosis: When probing the established aging and cellular senescence signatures, we found that epithelial and fibroblast senescence signatures had a 3.6- and 3.7-fold enrichment, respectively, in the lung tissue of SSc-ILD and that lung aging genes (CDKN2A, FRZB, PDE1A, and NAPI12) were increased in SSc-ILD.
