Cellular senescence is the results of aging and age-related diseases, development anti-aging methods may improve health extend longevity. The natural flavonol fisetin has been shown to antagonize in vitro increases longevity vivo, but poor water solubility limited bioavailability. In this study, a food-grade senescent cell-targeted delivery system for was developed based on whey prot...

Cellular senescence is an irreversible form of cell cycle arrest that has been linked to several pathological conditions. In particular, senescence can function as a tumor suppressor mechanism, but is also thought to contribute to organismal aging. Paradoxically however, through the secretion of various factors, collectively termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), senescent...

Cellular senescence or its equivalence is induced by treatment of cells with an appropriate inducer of senescence in various cell types. Mild restriction of cytoplasmic protein synthesis prevented induction of all aspects of cellular senescence in normal and tumor-derived human cells. It allowed the cells to continuously grow with no sign of senescent features in the presence of various inducer...

Cellular senescence is widely believed to play a key role in tumor suppression, but the molecular pathways that regulate senescence are only incompletely understood. By using a secretome proteomics approach, we identified insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP3) as a secreted mediator of breast cancer senescence upon chemotherapeutic drug treatment. The senescence-inducing activity...

Senescence, the molecular program that limits the finite proliferative potential of a cell, acts as an important barrier to protect the body from cancer. Techniques for measuring transcriptome changes and for modulating their expression suggest that it may be possible to dissect the transcriptional networks underlying complex cellular processes. HMF3A cells are conditionally immortalized human ...

Cellular senescence is a biologically irreversible state of cell-growth arrest that occurs following either a replicative or an oncogenic stimulus. This phenomenon occurs as a response to the presence of premalignant cells and appears to be an important anticancer mechanism that keeps these transformed cells at bay. Many exogenous and endogenous triggers for senescence have been recognized to a...

Cellular senescence has been implicated in tumor suppression, development, and aging and is accompanied by large-scale chromatin rearrangements, forming senescence-associated heterochromatic foci (SAHF). However, how the chromatin is reorganized during SAHF formation is poorly understood. Furthermore, heterochromatin formation in senescence appears to contrast with loss of heterochromatin in Hu...

Curcuminoids are well known for their capabilities to combat risk factors that are associated with ageing and cellular senescence. Recent reports have demonstrated that curcuminoids can extend the lifespan of model organisms. However, the underlying mechanisms by which these polyphenic compounds exert these beneficial effects remain unknown. In this study, t-BHP-induced premature senescence mod...

Cellular senescence is a key tumor-suppressing mechanism in response to numerous cellular threats including oxidative stress, telomere loss, and oncogene activation. It is essentially a permanent state of G1 cell cycle arrest in which cells remain viable and metabolically active. Recent studies indicate that senescence plays a pivotal role in suppression of tumorigenesis in vivo [1,2] and is fr...

Many genes and signaling pathways have been found to be involved in cellular senescence program. In the present study, we have identified 16 senescence-associated genes by differential proteomic analysis of the normal human diploid fibroblast cell line, TIG-1, and focused on ATP6V0A2. The aim of this study is to clarify the role of ATP6V0A2, the causal gene for ARCL2, a syndrome of abnormal gly...
