“…The EMT program is crucial for processes of tissue remodeling in embryonic development and wound healing (Dongre and Weinberg, 2019), both linked to cell senescence (Huang et al, 2022). Furthermore, many of the molecules secreted by senescent cells, including cytokines, growth factors, and ECM proteins, are known EMT triggers (Krtolica et al, 2001;Parrinello et al, 2005;Yilmaz and Christofori, 2009;Coppe et al, 2010;Acosta et al, 2013;Lamouille et al, 2014;Hoare et al, 2016;Cherubini et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2018;Scott et al, 2019;Hou et al, 2021;Anerillas et al, 2022a). Downstream of membrane receptors, many signaling pathways related to both EMT and senescence are activated along with the MAPKs; these signaling modules include WNT-β-Catenin, NOTCH, SMADs, AKT-mTOR, and STATs (Acosta et al, 2013;Munoz-Espin et al, 2013;Herranz et al, 2015;Laberge et al, 2015;Hoare et al, 2016;Bryson et al, 2017;Kandhaya-Pillai et al, 2017;Gibaja et al, 2019;Anerillas et al, 2020;Anerillas et al, 2022a).…”
