Book Synopsis Cellular Senescence and Tumor Suppression by : Peter D. Adams
Download or read book Cellular Senescence and Tumor Suppression written by Peter D. Adams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-01-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As cells mature they naturally stop dividing and enter a period called senescence. But cellular senescence can also be induced prematurely by certain oncogenes involved in cancer development. Cellular senescence, a growth-arrest program that limits the lifespan of mammalian cells and prevents unlimited cell proliferation, is attracting considerable interest because of its links to tumor suppression.
Book Synopsis Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence, Volume 2 by : M.A. Hayat
Download or read book Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence, Volume 2 written by M.A. Hayat and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second volume in the series exploring Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Cellular Senescence, discussion is focused on the role of tumor dormancy in diseases such as breast cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, liver cancer and lung cancer. M. A. Hayat, the series editor, writes in the preface that little is known of factors regulating the transition of residual cancer into a dormant state or the subsequent reinitiation of growth. A majority of us, he says, have in situ tumors that may remain dormant or may progress into a lethal form of cancer; the former are prevented from recruiting their own blood supply. Section I covers Molecular Mechanisms, with chapters on the role of NAE inhibitor MLN4924; oncogene-induced senescence; the role played by mitogen-activated protein kinase in the induction of cellular senescence; mechanisms of premature cell senescence and other topics. Section II examines Tumor and Cancer, discussing defects in chromatin structure and diseases; the role of fibrosis in tumor progression and the dormant to proliferative switch; the function of ING proteins in cancer and senescence and more. The final section is devoted to Stem Cells and Cancer Stem Cells, featuring chapters showing that senescent-derived pluripotent stem cells are able to redifferentiate into fully rejuvenated cells; that the transcription factor Gata2 regulates quiescence in haematopoietic stem and progenitor cells; and discussing dormancy and recurrence of cancer stem cells in bone. The contributors point out that the quiescent state regulates hematopoietic stem cells and muscle stem cells, and detail the role of kinase in the mediation of reversible quiescent state in a subset of ovarian, pancreatic, and colon cancers. Molecular mechanisms underlying stress-induced cellular senescence and accumulation of reactive oxygen species and induction of premature senescence are also presented. Discussion includes the important role of microRNAs in oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and senescence and the effect of microRNA as a modulator of cell proliferation in lung cancer. The book includes an explanation of the suppression of cellular senescence in glioblastoma brain tumor. Taking a broad and varied perspective, this volume was written by 70 contributors representing 11 countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2023 PROSE award in Biomedicine and Neuroscience! Research in the field of senescence has boomed recently due to the gradual realization that senescent cells are associated with a significant number of diseases. The genetic or pharmacological elimination of senescent cells can cause widespread benefits and improves outcomes for most of those diseases. Cellular Senescence in Diseases presents an updated review of the role of cellular senescence in multiple pathologies. Focus is given to those diseases where the implication of senescence has been more extensively documented, such as (cancer, lung and liver diseases, diabetes, Neurodegenerative diseases and others). The Editors recruited a group of worldwide experts in each individual pathology to review the role of cellular senescence in each one of them, aiming at identifying potential therapeutic pathways. The first two chapters provide an overview of the cellular senescence principles. Next, the chapters are divided into specific diseases. Cancer, including premalignant lesions (OIS), Advanced disease (TIS), and Metastasis are covered. The following condition covered is Lund diseases, including IPF, COPD, and Pulmonary Hypertension. Next Liver Diseases are covered, including Fibrosis and Cirrhosis, and Fatty liver disease. Next there is coverage for Kidney implications, including fibrosis and transplantation. Vascular diseases are covered next including infarction and hear fibrosis, and atherosclerosis. Both diabetes types 1 and 2 are covered next. Following chapters cover Obesity, Sarcopenia, and Bone and Cartilage disorders, respectively. Neurodegenerative diseases are covered next, focusing on Alzheimer and Parkinson. The next chapter discusses accumulation of senescent cell in tissues during aging. The two final chapters cover current developments and conclusions. Cellular Senescence in Diseases is designed for researchers and clinicians with a focus on the cellular mechanisms of diseases. All chapters cover current experimental therapeutic approaches to eliminate or cancel the pathological effects of senescent cells. Pharmaceutical scientists may also benefit from the contents of the book in the exploration of novel therapeutic opportunities. 2023 PROSE Awards - Winner: Category: Biomedicine and Neuroscience: Association of American Publishers Provides a thorough introduction to Cellular Senescence Covers all major pathologies for which cellular senescence has shown evidence of involvement Focuses on possible therapeutic pathways Edited and authored by worldwide experts

Book Synopsis Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence, Vol. 3 by : M.A. Hayat
Download or read book Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence, Vol. 3 written by M.A. Hayat and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This third volume in the series Tumor Dormancy, Quiescence, and Senescence discusses the role of tumor dormancy and senescence in a number of diseases, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer and leukemia. The contents are organized under five subheadings: General Applications, Role in Breast Cancer, Role in Ovarian Cancer, Role in Leukemia and Role in Cardiovascular Disease. The first section includes basic information on the definition of dormancy, how cells become senescent and what they do, along with an appraisal of the current state of research on dormancy. Section Two explores dormancy in breast cancer, including the progression of hormone-dependent mammary tumors after dormancy. Section Three details the resistance of Type II ovarian tumors, in which the resistant tumor cell population persists after chemotherapy in a state of dormancy, with recurrent tumors arising upon transformation of such dormant cells back to malignant growth. This section explains how lineage, histological subtypes and grade influence the differential response of ovarian cancer resistance to platinum drugs. The fourth section explores leukemia, discussing regulation of the promyelocytic leukemia protein and its role in premature senescence. The final section explores the role of senescence and autophagy in age-related cardiovascular diseases and the observation that autophagy seems to retard cardiac senescence. Like the two preceding volumes in the series, Volume 3 stands out for its comprehensive approach, its roster of some 26 expert contributors representing seven different countries and its up-to-date review of leading-edge technology and methods.

Book Synopsis Cellular Ageing and Replicative Senescence by : Suresh I.S. Rattan
Download or read book Cellular Ageing and Replicative Senescence written by Suresh I.S. Rattan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers the origins and subsequent history of research results in which attempts have been made to clarify issues related to cellular ageing, senescence, and age-related pathologies including cancer. Cellular Ageing and Replicative Senescence revisits more than fifty-five years of research based on the discovery that cultured normal cells are mortal and the interpretation that this phenomenon is associated with the origins of ageing. The mortality of normal cells and the immortality of cancer cells were also reported to have in vivo counterparts. Thus began the field of cytogerontology. Cellular Ageing and Replicative Senescence is organized into five sections: history and origins; serial passaging and progressive ageing; cell cycle arrest and senescence; system modulation; and recapitulation and future expectations. These issues are discussed by leading thinkers and researchers in biogerontology and cytogerontology. This collection of articles provides state-of-the-art information, and will encourage students, teachers, health care professionals and others interested in the biology of ageing to explore the fascinating and challenging question of why and how our cells age, and what can and cannot be done about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aging inspired a large number of theories trying to rationalize the aging process common to all living beings. In this publication the most important environmental and intrinsic mechanisms involved in the aging process and in its pathological consequences are reviewed. Furthermore theoretical and experimental evidence of the most important theoretical elements based on Darwinian evolution, cellular aging, role of cell membranes, free radicals and oxidative processes, receptor-mediated reactions, the extracellular matrix and immune functions as well as the most important environmental and intrinsic mechanisms involved in the aging process and in its pathological consequences are discussed. These presentations of theories and related experimental facts give a global overview of up to date concepts of the biology of the aging process and are of essential reading not only for specialists in this field but also for practitioners of scientific, medical, social and experimental sciences.
Book Synopsis Cellular Senescence by : Razmik Mirzayans
Download or read book Cellular Senescence written by Razmik Mirzayans and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Normal human cells have a limited life span when grown in culture. Aging cells enter a state of permanent growth arrest called replicative senescence, which is regulated by multiple signal transduction pathways involving p53 and other cancer-associated proteins. Senescent cells exhibit flattened and enlarged morphology, retain cell membrane integrity, remain metabolically active, but cease to divide when explanted in culture. Exposure of young (early passage) human cells to genotoxic agents such as ionising radiation and cancer therapeutic drugs can also trigger a state of permanent growth arrest. One mechanism of stress-induced growth arrest is similar to replicative senescence and is commonly termed accelerated or premature senescence. Whereas some normal human cell types (e.g., skin fibroblasts) lose their clonogenic potential in response to genotoxic stress primarily through the process of premature senescence, it has been generally assumed that cancer-derived cells die through necrosis or programmed cell death (apoptosis) but do not exhibit premature senescence following exposure to genotoxic agents. Recently, however, it has become evident that exposure of human solid tumour-derived cells to genotoxic agents can trigger not only premature senescence, but also growth arrest by an ill-defined process leading to the development of multinucleated/polyploid cells. Here the author provides evidence reinforcing the notion that ionising radiation-triggered premature senescence in cancer cells is generally dependent on the wild-type p53 function, and that the development of giant cells is a response of p53-deficient cells, presumably reflecting their failure to engage the premature senescence program.
Book Synopsis Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer by : Keiko Hiyama
Download or read book Telomeres and Telomerase in Cancer written by Keiko Hiyama and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-03-18 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Telomerase, an enzyme that maintains telomeres and endows eukaryotic cells with immortality, was first discovered in tetrahymena in 1985. In 1990s, it was proven that this enzyme also plays a key role in the infinite proliferation of human cancer cells. Now telomere and telomerase are widely accepted as important factors involved in cancer biology, and as promising diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets. Recently, role of telomerase in “cancer stem cells” has become another attractive story. Until now, there are several good books on telomere and telomerase focusing on biology in ciliates, yeasts, and mouse or basic sciences in human, providing basic scientists or students with updated knowledge.

Book Synopsis Investigating Senescence in Cellular Plasticity and Tissue Regeneration by : Birgit Ritschka
Download or read book Investigating Senescence in Cellular Plasticity and Tissue Regeneration written by Birgit Ritschka and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular senescence has mainly been associated with tumor suppression and aging, mediated through cell intrinsic cell-cycle inhibition and arrest. However, through secretion of specific proteins, termed the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), senescent cells can have paradoxical effects, promoting proliferation, invasion or paracrine senescence in neighbouring cells. Additionally, emerging studies showed that cellular senescence is also implicated in complex biological processes such as embryonic development, tissue repair and wound healing. Unexpectedly, we found that primary mouse keratinocytes undergoing oncogene-induced senescence exhibit an increase in stem cell gene expression. Interestingly, this signature can also be induced in normal cells upon transient exposure to the SASP. However, prolonged exposure to the SASP leads to paracrine senescence in vitro as a possible mechanism to counteract the aberrant regenerative stimulation. Together this work suggests that the SASP is a regenerative mechanism that instructs stemness and plasticity, but if left unperturbed can have detrimental effects seen during aging and tumor formation.

Download or read book Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotypes Reveal Cell-Nonautonomous Functions of Oncogenic RAS and the P53 Tumor Suppressor written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cellular senescence suppresses cancer by arresting cell proliferation, essentially permanently, in response to oncogenic stimuli, including genotoxic stress. We modified the use of antibody arrays to provide a quantitative assessment of factors secreted by senescent cells. We show that human cells induced to senesce by genotoxic stress secrete myriad factors associated with inflammation and malignancy. This senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) developed slowly over several days and only after DNA damage of sufficient magnitude to induce senescence. Remarkably similar SASPs developed in normal fibroblasts, normal epithelial cells, and epithelial tumor cells after genotoxic stress in culture, and in epithelial tumor cells in vivo after treatment of prostate cancer patients with DNA-damaging chemotherapy. In cultured premalignant epithelial cells, SASPs induced an epithelial-mesenchyme transition and invasiveness, hallmarks of malignancy, by a paracrine mechanism that depended largely on the SASP factors interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8. Strikingly, two manipulations markedly amplified, and accelerated development of, the SASPs: oncogenic RAS expression, which causes genotoxic stress and senescence in normal cells, and functional loss of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Both loss of p53 and gain of oncogenic RAS also exacerbated the promalignant paracrine activities of the SASPs. Our findings define a central feature of genotoxic stress-induced senescence. Moreover, they suggest a cell-nonautonomous mechanism by which p53 can restrain, and oncogenic RAS can promote, the development of age-related cancer by altering the tissue microenvironment.
