E2F-1 is a critical modulator of cellular senescence in human cancer
1 May 2006
Abstract excerpt
Senescence limits cellular proliferation, and therefore might be a mechanism which could suppress the progression of cancer. Herein we show that E2F1, a transcription factor essential to a cell cycle progress and a main target of tumor suppressor Rb, is a critical barrier for the induction of senescence. Human cancer cells transfected with siE2F1 were shown to express replicative senescence markers, in addition...
