Lipid-derived reactive aldehydes link oxidative stress to cell senescence

Genotoxic stress can induce proliferative cells to undergo accelerated senescence, where they remain viable but enter an irreversible cell cycle arrest similar to that of replicative senescence, including characteristic changes in gene expression, metabolism, and cell morphology.1 Even though transf...

Description
Summary:Genotoxic stress can induce proliferative cells to undergo accelerated senescence, where they remain viable but enter an irreversible cell cycle arrest similar to that of replicative senescence, including characteristic changes in gene expression, metabolism, and cell morphology.1 Even though transformed and tumor cell lines are considered immortal, they can be induced to undergo accelerated senescence. This extends to tumors in vivo, where ionizing radiation or chemotherapy promotes therapy-induced senescence (TIS). Although it remains controversial whether cancer cell senescence is a desirable outcome of cancer treatment, there is limited evidence to suggest that senescent cells in tumors may have beneficial effects, potentially including stimulation of antitumor immunity.
