Differential Oncogenic Ras Signaling and Senescence in Tumor Cells

Abstract excerpt

Several studies have shown that forced expression of oncogenic H-ras can induce a senescence-like permanent growth arrest in normal cells. Here we report that expression of oncogenic H-ras in human osteosarcoma U2OS cells also resulted in a senescence-like flat and enlarged cell morphology and permanent growth arrest. In contrast to normal human fibroblasts, U2OS cells were arrested independently of the p16 and...
