The STAT3-IGFBP5 axis is critical for IL-6/gp130-induced premature senescence in human fibroblasts
15 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
Cells undergo senescence in response to various conditions, including telomere erosion, oncogene activation and multiple cytokines. One of these cytokines, interleukin-6 (IL‑6), not only functions in the immune system, but also promotes cellular senescence and cancer. Here we demonstrate that IL‑6 and the soluble IL‑6 receptor (sIL‑6R) induce premature senescence in normal human fibroblasts by establishing a...
