The transition from reversible to irreversible pulmonary arterial hypertension involves vascular senescence and can be countered by senolysis.
Abstract Human melanocytic nevi (moles) result from a brief period of clonal expansion melanocytes. As cellular defensive mechanism against oncogene-induced hyperplasia, nevus-resident melanocytes enter senescent state stable cell cycle arrest. Senescent can persist for months in mice and years humans with risk to escape the progress melanoma. The mechanisms providing prolonged survival remain poorly understood. Here, we show that culture express high level anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family member...
Axon degeneration precedes cell body death in many age-related neurodegenerative disorders, often determining symptom onset and progression. A sensitive method for revealing axon pathology could indicate whether this is the case also Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal, devastating disorder causing progressive deterioration of both physical mental abilities, which brain region affected first. We studied spatio-temporal relationship between pathology, neuronal loss, mutant Huntingtin aggregate...
Abstract Located in the basal epidermis and hair follicles, melanocytes of integument are responsible for its coloration through production melanin pigments. Melanin is produced a type lysosome‐related‐organelle (LRO) called melanosome. In humans, this skin pigmentation acts as an ultraviolet radiation filter. Abnormalities division quite common, with potentially oncogenic growth usually followed by cell senescence producing benign naevi (moles), or occasionally, melanoma. Therefore, useful...
p16Ink4a is a potent cell cycle inhibitor engaged to support arrest during cellular senescence. However, in tumors carrying mutations key downstream effectors, highly expressed but fails block proliferation. p16Ink4a-overexpressing tumor cells are aggressive and no targeted interventions available. To study the effect of specific therapies, we generated murine sarcomas by overexpressing RAS oncogene disrupting p53 activity. We observed that p16Ink4a-overxpressing sarcoma were resistant...
