Zusammenfassung
Oncogene- induced senescence (irreversible cell cycle arrest) is recognized as an important tumor-suppressive mechanism, bypassing of which may contribute to malignant transformation of the cells. On the other hand, senescence induction, in addition to apoptosis stimulation and proliferation suppression, is responsible for the cytostatic activity of many commonly used anticancer drugs. Therefore, senescence escape must be considered as an important drug-resistance factor. In our work we characterize „DNA Damage Response“(DDR)-independent senescence caused by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and growth factors de…
