Cancer Cell Survival Following DNA Damage-mediated Premature Senescence Is Regulated by Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR)-dependent Inhibition of Sirtuin 1
7 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
DNA-damaging agents can induce premature senescence in cancer cells, which contributes to the static effects of cancer. However, senescent cancer cells may re-enter the cell cycle and lead to tumor relapse. Understanding the mechanisms that control the viability of senescent cells may be helpful in eliminating these cells before they can regrow. Treating human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cells with the...
