Dual mTORC1/C2 inhibitors suppress cellular geroconversion (a senescence program)
In proliferating cells, mTOR is active and promotes cell growth. When the cell cycle is arrested, then mTOR converts reversible arrest to senescence (geroconversion). Rapamycin and other rapalogs suppress geroconversion, maintaining quiescence instead. Here we showed that ATP-competitive kinase inhibitors (Torin1 and PP242), which inhibit both mTORC1 and TORC2, also suppressed geroconversion. D...
متن کاملTumor promoter-induced cellular senescence: cell cycle arrest followed by geroconversion
Phorbol ester (PMA or TPA), a tumor promoter, can cause either proliferation or cell cycle arrest, depending on cellular context. For example, in SKBr3 breast cancer cells, PMA hyper-activates the MEK/MAPK pathway, thus inducing p21 and cell cycle arrest. Here we showed that PMA-induced arrest was followed by conversion to cellular senescence (geroconversion). Geroconversion was associated with...
متن کاملS6K in geroconversion
Markers of cellular senescence depend in part on the MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) pathway. MTOR participates in geroconversion, a conversion from reversible cell cycle arrest to irreversible senescence. Recently we demonstrated that hyper-induction of cyclin D1 during geroconversion was mostly dependent on MEK, whereas rapamycin only partially inhibited cyclin D1 accumulation. Here we...
متن کاملHypoxia suppresses conversion from proliferative arrest to cellular senescence.
Unlike reversible quiescence, cellular senescence is characterized by a large flat cell morphology, β-gal staining and irreversible loss of regenerative (i.e., replicative) potential. Conversion from proliferative arrest to irreversible senescence, a process named geroconversion, is driven in part by growth-promoting pathways such as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). During cell cycle arres...
متن کاملEndometrial cellular senescence contributes to preterm birth
Preterm birth is a major global health issue, and its causes and underlying mechanism remain obscure. We recently established a mouse model of spontaneous preterm birth. In this model, endometrial cellular senescence early in pregnancy via mTORC1-p21 signaling is a major contributor of preterm birth and fetal death, and these adverse phenotypes are restored by the inhibition of mTORC1 or p21. T...
