Limited Role of Murine ATM in Oncogene-Induced Senescence and p53-Dependent Tumor Suppression
6 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies in human fibroblasts have provided a new general paradigm of tumor suppression according to which oncogenic signaling produces DNA damage and this, in turn, results in ATM/p53-dependent cellular senescence. Here, we have tested this model in a variety of murine experimental systems. Overexpression of oncogenic Ras in murine fibroblasts efficiently induced senescence but this occurred in the absence...
