Journal ArticleDOI
Mitochondria are required for pro‐ageing features of the senescent phenotype
Clara Correia-Melo,Clara Correia-Melo,Francisco D.M. Marques,Rhys Anderson,Graeme Hewitt,Rachael N. Hewitt,John J. Cole,Bernadette Carroll,Satomi Miwa,Jodie Birch,Alina Merz,Michael D. Rushton,Michelle Charles,Diana Jurk,Stephen W.G. Tait,Rafal Czapiewski,Laura C. Greaves,Glyn Nelson,Mohammad Bohlooly-Y,Sergio Rodriguez-Cuenca,Antonio Vidal-Puig,Derek A. Mann,Gabriele Saretzki,Giovanni Quarato,Douglas R. Green,Peter D. Adams,Thomas von Zglinicki,Viktor I. Korolchuk,João F. Passos +28 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that mitochondria are a candidate target for interventions to reduce the deleterious impact of senescence in ageing tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI
HIRA orchestrates a dynamic chromatin landscape in senescence and is required for suppression of neoplasia.
Taranjit Singh Rai,Taranjit Singh Rai,John J. Cole,David M. Nelson,Dina Dikovskaya,William J. Faller,Maria Grazia Vizioli,Rachael N. Hewitt,Orchi Anannya,Tony McBryan,Indrani Manoharan,John van Tuyn,Nicholas A. Morrice,Nikolay A. Pchelintsev,Andre Ivanov,Claire Brock,Mark E. Drotar,Colin Nixon,William Clark,Owen J. Sansom,Kurt I. Anderson,Ayala King,Karen Blyth,Peter D. Adams +23 more
TL;DR: It is shown that nonproliferating senescent cells express and incorporate histone H3.3 and other canonical core histones into a dynamic chromatin landscape and HIRA enforces tumor suppression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic microtopography to enhance osteogenesis in vitro
A.J. Wilkinson,Rachael N. Hewitt,Laura E. McNamara,David McCloy,R. M. Dominic Meek,Matthew J. Dalby +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, microtopographical features with nanoscale depths, similar in scale to osteoclast resorption pits, were used to promote in vitro bone formation in basal medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitotic Stress Is an Integral Part of the Oncogene-Induced Senescence Program that Promotes Multinucleation and Cell Cycle Arrest
Dina Dikovskaya,John J. Cole,Susan M. Mason,Colin Nixon,Saadia A. Karim,Lynn McGarry,William Clark,Rachael N. Hewitt,Morgan A. Sammons,Jiajun Zhu,Dimitris Athineos,Joshua D.G. Leach,Francesco Marchesi,John van Tuyn,Stephen W.G. Tait,Claire Brock,Jennifer P. Morton,Hong Wu,Shelley L. Berger,Karen Blyth,Peter D. Adams +20 more
TL;DR: It is shown that multinucleate OIS cells originate mostly from failed mitosis, and activated Ras coordinately triggers mitotic disruption and enhanced cell survival to promote formation of multin nucleate senescent cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wnt signaling potentiates nevogenesis
Jeff S. Pawlikowski,Tony McBryan,John van Tuyn,Mark E. Drotar,Rachael N. Hewitt,Andrea B. Maier,Ayala King,Karen Blyth,Hong Wu,Peter D. Adams +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that activated Wnt signaling in human nevi delays senescence to promote nevus formation, and thereafter, persistent WNT signaling might undermine senescences-mediated tumor suppression and enhances the probability of malignancy.
