BH3 mimetics targeting BCL-XL impact the senescent compartment of pilocytic astrocytoma
17 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common pediatric brain tumor and a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-driven disease. Oncogenic MAPK-signaling drives the majority of cells into oncogene-induced senescence (OIS). While OIS induces resistance to antiproliferative therapies, it represents a potential vulnerability exploitable by senolytic agents. METHODS: We established new patient-derived PA...
