Senescent Cells, Tumor Suppression, and Organismal Aging: Good Citizens, Bad Neighbors

TLDR
The senescence response may be antagonistically pleiotropic, promoting early-life survival by curtailing the development of cancer but eventually limiting longevity as dysfunctional senescent cells accumulate.

Cellular senescence: when bad things happen to good cells

TL;DR: Understanding the causes and consequences of cellular senescence has provided novel insights into how cells react to stress, especially genotoxic stress, and how this cellular response can affect complex organismal processes such as the development of cancer and ageing.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype: The Dark Side of Tumor Suppression

TL;DR: A senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) is acquired that turns senescent fibroblasts into proinflammatory cells that have the ability to promote tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microenvironmental regulation of metastasis

TL;DR: Experimental data demonstrating the role of the microenvironment in metastasis is described, areas for future research are identified and possible new therapeutic avenues are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clearance of p16 Ink4a -positive senescent cells delays ageing-associated disorders

TL;DR: Data indicate that cellular senescence is causally implicated in generating age-related phenotypes and that removal of senescent cells can prevent or delay tissue dysfunction and extend healthspan.

A biomarker that identifies senescent human cells in culture and in aging skin in vivo

TL;DR: It is shown that several human cells express a beta-galactosidase, histochemically detectable at pH 6, upon senescence in culture, which provides in situ evidence that senescent cells may exist and accumulate with age in vivo.

Oncogenic ras Provokes Premature Cell Senescence Associated with Accumulation of p53 and p16INK4a

TL;DR: It is shown that expression of oncogenic ras in primary human or rodent cells results in a permanent G1 arrest, and that the onset of cellular senescence does not simply reflect the accumulation of cell divisions, but can be prematurely activated in response to an onCogenic stimulus.

A DNA damage checkpoint response in telomere-initiated senescence

TL;DR: It is proposed that telomere-initiated senescence reflects a DNA damage checkpoint response that is activated with a direct contribution from dysfunctional telomeres.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rb-mediated heterochromatin formation and silencing of E2F target genes during cellular senescence.

TL;DR: A distinct heterochromatic structure that accumulates in senescent human fibroblasts is described, which is designated senescence-associated heterochROMatic foci (SAHF) and is associated with the stable repression of E2F target genes.
