Normal Human Fibroblasts Are Resistant to RAS-Induced Senescence
15 Mar 2004
Abstract excerpt
Oncogenic stimuli are thought to induce senescence in normal cells in order to protect against transformation and to induce proliferation in cells with altered p53 and/or retinoblastoma (Rb) pathways. In human fibroblasts, RAS initiates senescence through upregulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16INK4A. We show here that in contrast to cultured fibroblast strains, freshly isolated normal...
