Senescence in tumours: evidence from mice and humans

Open access
Collado, Manuel, Serrano, Manuel·2010·Nature Reviews Cancer

Abstract

The importance of cellular senescence, which is a stress response that stably blocks proliferation, is increasingly being recognized. Senescence is prevalent in pre-malignant tumours, and progression to malignancy requires evading senescence. Malignant tumours, however, may still undergo senescence owing to interventions that restore tumour suppressor function or inactivate oncogenes. Senescent tumour cells can be cleared by immune cells, which may result in efficient tumour regression. Standard chemotherapy also has the potential to induce senescence, which may partly underlie its therapeutic activity. Although these concepts are well supported in mouse models, translating them to clinical oncology remains a challenge.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • There is little doubt that the senescence growth arrest suppresses the development of cancer.

    “There is little doubt that the senescence growth arrest suppresses the development of cancer (8, 48, 136).”

    From Aging, Cellular Senescence, and Cancer (2013) · cites this paper as [136]

  • Other senescence markers are overexpressed or activated in cancer.

    “Other senescence markers have been shown to be overexpressed or activated in cancer152.”
  • Cellular senescence restrains cancer by imposing a cell-autonomous block to proliferation of oncogenically damaged/stressed cells.

    “Whatever the case, the examples above, and a growing list of similar studies (Collado and Serrano, 2010), argue that cellular senescence restrains cancer by imposing a cell-autonomous block to the proliferation of oncogenically damaged/stressed cells (Fig. 2).”

    From Four faces of cellular senescence (2011) · cites this paper as Collado and Serrano, 2010

  • A SASP profile can be determined by activation of molecular cascades linked to p53/p21 due to persistent double strand breaks or telomere shortening.

    “A SASP profile can be further determined by the activation of molecular cascades linked to p53/p21 (due to persistent double strands breaks/telomere shortening)”
  • A SASP profile can be determined by activation of p16/Rb due to epigenetic modifications.

    “but also to p16/Rb (due to epigenetic modifications) [3,22,24,25,26]”

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.
