Hypertension Induces Somatic Cellular Senescence in Rats and Humans by Induction of Cell Cycle Inhibitor p16 <sup> <i>INK4a</i> </sup>
27 May 2008
Abstract excerpt
There is increasing evidence for a role of somatic cellular senescence in physiological aging but also in injury and disease. Cell cycle inhibitor p16(INK4a) is the key mediator for stress and aberrant signaling induced senescence. Here we report that elevated blood pressure markedly induced p16(INK4a) expression in rat kidneys and hearts, as well as in human kidneys. In kidneys from deoxycorticosterone...
