Cellular senescence as a tumor-suppressor mechanism.
Organisms with renewable tissues had to evolve mechanisms to prevent the development of cancer. One such mechanism is cellular senescence, which irreversibly arrests the growth of cells at risk for neoplastic transformation. Recent findings have revealed the complexities of the senescence phenotype and unexpected possible consequences for the organism.
متن کاملNotch3 functions as a tumor suppressor by controlling cellular senescence.
Notch signaling regulates a broad spectrum of cell fate decisions and differentiation. Both oncogenic and tumor suppressor functions have been shown for Notch signaling. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms of its tumor suppressor function. Here, we report that expression of Notch3, a member of Notch family transmembrane receptors, was elevated in human cells during senescen...

متن کاملQuantifying replicative senescence as a tumor suppressor pathway and a target for cancer therapy
To study quantitatively replicative senescence as a tumor suppressor mechanism, we investigate the distribution of a growing clonal cell population restricted by Hayflick's limit. We find that in the biologically relevant range of parameters, if the imbalance between cell division and death is moderate or low (high death-to-birth ratio), senescence offers significant protection against cancer b...
متن کاملTumor suppressor and aging biomarker p16(INK4a) induces cellular senescence without the associated inflammatory secretory phenotype.
Cellular senescence suppresses cancer by preventing the proliferation of cells that experience potentially oncogenic stimuli. Senescent cells often express p16(INK4a), a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor, tumor suppressor, and biomarker of aging, which renders the senescence growth arrest irreversible. Senescent cells also acquire a complex phenotype that includes the secretion of many cytokine...
