Senescence Delay of Human Diploid Fibroblast Induced by Anti-sense p16INK4a Expression
1 Dec 2001
Abstract excerpt
p16(INK4a), a tumor suppressor gene that inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and cyclin-dependent kinase 6, is also implicated in the mechanisms underlying replicative senescence, because its RNA and protein accumulate as cells approach their finite number of population doublings in tissue culture. To further explore the involvement of p16(INK4a) in replicative senescence, we constructed a retroviral vector...
