Melatonin regulates PARP 1 to control the senescence‐associated secretory phenotype ( SASP ) in human fetal lung fibroblast cells
1 Mar 2017
Abstract excerpt
Cellular senescence is an important tumor-suppressive mechanism. However, acquisition of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in senescent cells has deleterious effects on the tissue microenvironment and, paradoxically, promotes tumor progression. In a drug screen, we identified melatonin as a novel SASP suppressor in human cells. Strikingly, melatonin blunts global SASP gene expression upon...
