Journal ArticleDOI
Directed elimination of senescent cells by inhibition of BCL-W and BCL-XL.
Reut Yosef,Noam Pilpel,Ronit Tokarsky-Amiel,Anat Biran,Yossi Ovadya,Snir Cohen,Ezra Vadai,Liat Dassa,Elisheva Shahar,Reba Condiotti,Ittai Ben-Porath,Valery Krizhanovsky +11 more
TL;DR: The finding that senescent cells can be eliminated pharmacologically paves the way to new strategies for the treatment of age-related pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
DAP kinase links the control of apoptosis to metastasis
Boaz Inbal,Ofer Cohen,Sylvie Polak-Charcon,Juri Kopolovic,Ezra Vadai,Lea Eisenbach,Adi Kimchi +6 more
TL;DR: Lung carcinoma clones, characterized by their highly aggressive metastatic behaviour and originating from two independent murine lung tumours, did not express DAP kinase, in contrast to their low-metastatic counterparts, and it is proposed that loss of DAP Kinase expression provides a unique mechanism that links suppression of apoptosis to metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired immune surveillance accelerates accumulation of senescent cells and aging
Yossi Ovadya,Tomer Landsberger,Hanna Leins,Ezra Vadai,Hilah Gal,Anat Biran,Reut Yosef,Adi Sagiv,Amit Agrawal,Alon Shapira,Joseph Windheim,Michael Tsoory,Reinhold Schirmbeck,Ido Amit,Hartmut Geiger,Hartmut Geiger,Valery Krizhanovsky +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that perforin deficient mice accumulate more senescent cells and have a shorter lifespan, and that this phenotype can be reversed with administration of a senolytic drug.
Journal Article
Interleukin 6 Gene Transfection into Lewis Lung Carcinoma Tumor Cells Suppresses the Malignant Phenotype and Confers Immunotherapeutic Competence against Parental Metastatic Cells
Angel Porgador,Esther Tzehoval,Anne Katz,Ezra Vadai,Michel Revel,Michael Feldman,Lea Eisenbach +6 more
TL;DR: Inactivated IL-6 transfectants were effective when used as a cellular vaccine for experimental immunotherapy of metastasis and prevented metastatic growth of parental highly metastatic D122 cells when immunization of mice was begun after establishment of the primary parental tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative identification of senescent cells in aging and disease.
Anat Biran,Lior Zada,Paula Abou Karam,Ezra Vadai,Lior Roitman,Yossi Ovadya,Ziv Porat,Valery Krizhanovsky +7 more
TL;DR: A new way to precisely quantify and identify senescent cells in tissues on a single‐cell basis is presented, enabling a deeper understanding of the senescent state in vivo and paves the way for screening of senescence cells for identification of newsenescence biomarkers, genes that bypass senescences or senolytic compounds that eliminate senescent Cells.
