Reduced c-Myc signaling triggers telomere-independent senescence by regulating Bmi-1 and p16 <sup>INK4a</sup>
28 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Increased mitogenic signaling by positive effectors such as Ras or Myc can trigger senescence in normal cells, a response believed to function as a tumor-suppressive mechanism. We report here the existence of a checkpoint that monitors hypoproliferative signaling imbalances. Normal human fibroblasts with one copy of the c-myc gene inactivated by targeted homologous recombination switched with an increased...
