Characterization of DNA damage-induced cellular senescence by ionizing radiation in endothelial cells
29 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Inhibition of growth in mammalian cells in response to damage or stress is known as cellular senescence. Increasing evidence suggests that double-strand breaks (DSB) commonly mediate cellular senescence. Recently, radiation exposure has been reported to induce premature senescence. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We investigated whether ionizing radiation (IR) at 4 Gy induces cellular senescence with DNA damage...
