Abstract

Activated RAS/BRAF oncogenes induce cellular senescence as a tumor-suppressive barrier in early cancer development, at least in part, via an oncogene-evoked DNA damage response (DDR). In contrast, Myc activation-although producing a DDR as well-is known to primarily elicit an apoptotic countermeasure. Using the Emu-myc transgenic mouse lymphoma model, we show here in vivo that apoptotic lymphoma cells activate macrophages to secrete transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) as a critical non-cell-autonomous inducer of cellular senescence. Accordingly, neutralization of TGF-beta action, like genetic inactivation of the senescence-related histone methyltransferase Suv39h1, significantly accelerates Myc-driven tumor development via cancellation of cellular senescence. These findings, recapitulated in human aggressive B cell lymphomas, demonstrate that tumor-prompted stroma-derived signals may limit tumorigenesis by feedback senescence induction.

  • p53 cooperates with the NF-κB pathway to regulate SASP factors that can activate macrophages to form a tumour-suppressive microenvironment.

    “p53 cooperates with the NF- κB pathway to regulate SASP factors that can activate macrophages to form a tumour- suppressive microenvironment 147,148 .”

    From Senescence and cancer — role and therapeutic opportunities (2022) · cites this paper as [147]

    The section “Apoptotic Lymphoma Cells Activate Macrophages to Secrete Pro-Senescent TGFβ1” (p. 13) reports that apoptotic lymphoma cells activate macrophages to secrete TGFβ1, promoting lymphoma-cell senescence. The Discussion (p. 16) links p53 inactivation to reduced apoptosis and macrophage attraction. Neither passage supports cooperation between p53 and NF-κB to regulate SASP factors; the reported macrophage stimulus is apoptotic cells. (LLM, conf=0.86)

  • In an Eμ-Myc lymphoma model, p53-induced apoptosis of lymphoma cells activates macrophages to secrete TGFβ1, which induces senescence in lymphoma cells.

    From Inside and out: the activities of senescence in cancer (2014) · cites this paper as [36]

  • Senescent cells can be found in both benign and malignant tumours.

    “Supporting this notion, the burden of senescent cells in tissues increases significantly with age in mice, primates, and humans,27 and they can be found in both benign and malignant tumours.31–35”
  • Since senescent cells are generally abundant in benign tumours and also present at low numbers in several malignancies, their paracrine activities could contribute to tumour progression and cancer metastasis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
