Abstract Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease of women in which TSC2 deficient ‘LAM cells’ with dysregulated mTOR signalling and recruited fibroblasts form nodules causing lung cysts and respiratory failure. We examine if mTOR dysregulation can induce senescence and impair the response to lung injury in LAM. The senescence markers p21, p16 and the SenMayo gene set are increased in LAM lungs and colocalise with alveolar type 2 cells.
