Pro-senescence therapy for cancer treatment

Nardella, Caterina, Clohessy, John G., Alimonti, Andrea, Pandolfi, Pier Paolo·2011·Nature Reviews Cancer

Abstract

Abundant evidence points to a crucial physiological role for cellular senescence in combating tumorigenesis. Thus, the engagement of senescence may represent a key component for therapeutic intervention in the eradication of cancer. In this Opinion article, we focus on concepts that are relevant to a pro-senescence approach to therapy and we propose potential therapeutic strategies that aim to enhance the pro-senescence response in tumours.

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

  • Pten heterozygosity promotes tumour initiation and proliferation in the prostate, but complete loss of Pten can oppose prostate tumorigenesis by triggering a powerful p53-dependent cellular senescence response.

    “Pten heterozygosity promotes tumour initiation and proliferation in the prostate, but paradoxically, the complete loss of Pten can oppose prostate tumorigenesis by triggering a powerful p53-dependent cellular senescence response 38”

  • Methods that restore these p53-mediated functions might be fruitful in enhancing NK cell-mediated tumor elimination.

    “Methods that restore these p53-mediated functions might therefore be fruitful in enhancing NK cell–mediated tumor elimination (Nardella et al., 2011).”
  • The main advantage of the senescence response caused by traditional chemotherapeutic agents is that cancer cell senescence can be induced with lower doses than those used to cause cancer cell death, thus possibly reducing adverse side effects.

    “The main advantage of the senescence response caused by traditional chemotherapeutic agents is that cancer cell senescence can be induced with lower doses than those used to cause cancer cell death, thus possibly reducing the adverse side effects [363,367].”

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.
