The oviduct is essential for reproduction. We previously showed that oviduct epithelial cells (OECs) isolated from aged cows expressed higher levels of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL) 1A and IL1B. In addition, aging is associated with tissue dysfunction and cellular senescence via a senescenceāassociated secretory phenotype (SASP) and immune cell accumulation. We investigated whether IL1A or IL1B causes SASP production, cellular senescence, and inflammatory responses in bovine OECs.
