Senescent cells are characterized by an arrest in proliferation. In addition to replicative senescence resulting from telomere exhaustion, sub-lethal genotoxic stress resulting from DNA damage, oncogene activation, mitochondrial dysfunction or reactive metabolites also elicits a senescence phenotype. Senescence is a controlled programme affecting a wide variety of biological processes with some core hallmarks of senescence as well as tissue specific changes. This study presents an integrative multi-omic analysis of proteomic and RNA-seq from proliferating and senescent osteosarcoma cells. This study demonstrates senescence induction in a widely used cell line which can be used as a model system for characterising cancer cell responses to sub-lethal doses of chemotherapeutic agents, and makes available both RNA-seq and proteomic data from proliferating and senescent cells in open access repositories to aid reuse by the community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
