Resistance to UV‐induced apoptosis in human keratinocytes during accelerated senescence is associated with functional inactivation of p53
22 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Compared to proliferating keratinocytes (KCs), growth-arrested KCs are relatively resistant to UV-light induced apoptosis. When KCs undergo confluency, or following exposure to anti-proliferative agents such as IFN-gamma plus a phorbol ester-12-O-tetradecanoylyphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), they convert from a proliferative to a nonproliferative state resembling senescence. Since p53 regulates UV-induced apoptosis of...
