Abstract excerpt
Age is a major risk factor for the development of cancer. Senescent fibroblasts, which accumulate with age, secrete protumorigenic factors collectively referred to as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Here, we examined the molecular mechanisms that control SASP activation, focusing on the known SASP factor osteopontin (OPN). We found that expression of the canonical SASP members interleukin...
