Contribution of p16 INK4a and p21 CIP1 pathways to induction of premature senescence of human endothelial cells: permissive role of p53
26 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
We have previously found that nonenzymatically glycated collagen I (GC), mimicking diabetic microenvironment, can induce senescent phenotype in early passage human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). In the present study, we explored the functional involvement of cell cycle checkpoint pathways in initiating GC-induced premature endothelial cell senescence. When compared with native collagen, early passage...
