Abstract excerpt
Mild oxidative stress as exerted by culture of human WI-38 fibroblasts under 40% oxygen partial pressure blocks proliferation irreversibly after one to three population doublings. Hyperoxically blocked cells are similar to senescent ones in terms of general morphology and lipofuscin accumulation. Moreover, they, like senescent fibroblasts, are blocked preferentially in G1 as evident from DNA content measurements...
