The Normal Response to RAS: Senescence or Transformation?
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Normal cells are thought to protect against transformation by undergoing a permanent cell cycle arrest, cellular senescence, in response to the expression of activated oncogenes such as RAS. We recently found that freshly established neonatal human fibroblasts are resistant to RAS-induced senescence. Moreover, extended passaging of normal fibroblasts leads to increased levels of the cyclin dependent kinase...
