5-Bromodeoxyuridine Induces Senescence-Like Phenomena in Mammalian Cells Regardless of Cell Type or Species
1 Dec 1999
Abstract excerpt
5-Bromodeoxyuridine was found to induce flat and enlarged cell shape, characteristics of senescent cells, and senescence-associated beta-galactosidase in mammalian cells regardless of cell type or species. In immortal human cells, fibronectin, collagenase I, and p21(wafl/sdi-1) mRNAs were immediately and very strongly induced, and the mortality marker mortalin changed to the mortal type from the immortal type....
