Abstract excerpt
With the aim to identify events involved in the determination of p53-dependent apoptosis versus growth arrest, we used rat embryo fibroblasts expressing a temperature-sensitive mutant (tsA58) of the SV40 large tumour antigen (LT). Heat-inactivation of LT leads to p53 activation and commitment to a senescent-like state (REtsA15 cell line) or apoptosis (REtsAF cell line). We report that senescence is associated...
