Expression of p16INK4a prevents cancer and promotes aging in lymphocytes
19 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
Previous authors have suggested that tumor suppressor expression promotes aging while preventing cancer, but direct experimental support for this cancer-aging hypothesis has been elusive. Here, by using somatic, tissue-specific inactivation of the p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor in murine T- or B-lymphoid progenitors, we report that ablation of p16(INK4a) can either rescue aging or promote cancer in a...
