Core Tip This study reveals that carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) promotes senescence of human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) by inhibiting Parkin-mediated mitophagy. CPT1A is upregulated in senescent late-passage DPSCs, and its knockdown suppresses senescence while enhancing mitophagy. Mechanistically, CPT1A acts as a succinyltransferase that succinylates Parkin protein at lysine 27, reducing Parkin stability. Silencing CPT1A decreases Parkin succinylation, stabilizes Parkin, and restores mitophagy. In vivo, CPT1A knockdown alleviates D galactose-induced dental pulp aging via Parkin-dependent mitophagy. This research identifies a novel CPT1A-Parkin succinylation axis controlling DPSC senescence.
