Stress‐induced premature senescence in BJ and hTERT‐BJ1 human foreskin fibroblasts
26 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
To test the involvement of the telomeres in the senescent phenotype, we used telomerase-immortalized human foreskin fibroblasts (hTERT-BJ1). We exposed hTERT-BJ1 and parental BJ cells to either UVB or H(2)O(2) subcytotoxic stress(es). Both cell lines developed biomarkers of replicative senescence: loss of replicative potential, increase in senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, typical senescence-like...
