Objective: To study the effect of binding activities of the NH(2) terminus of E1A to the proteins regulating cell growth on ras-induced cell senescence and explore the mechanism of E1A-mediated escape from ras-induced senescence by E1A in human fibroblast.
Methods: In primary human fibroblasts, the proteins regulating cell growth in association with E1A NH(2) terminus, including the Rb family proteins, p300/CBP, and p400, were inactivated or interfered. The effect of alterations in the binding activities of these proteins on cell senescence bypass mediated by E1A was evaluated by cell growth curve.
Results: The Inactivation of Rb family proteins alone was not sufficient to rescue ras-induced cell senescence, whereas inactivation of both the Rb proteins and p300/CBP blocked ras-induced senescence of human fibroblasts.
Conclusion: Rb and p300/CBP binding activities are both required for E1A to bypass ras-induced senescence in human fibroblasts.

Glucose deprivation, a hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, compels tumor cells to seek alternative energy sources for survival and growth. Here, we show that glucose deprivation upregulates the expression of mitochondrial-cytochrome c oxidase II (MT-CO2), a subunit essential for the respiratory chain complex IV, in facilitating glutaminolysis and sustaining tumor cell survival. Mechanistically, glucose deprivation activates Ras signaling to enhance MT-CO2 transcription and inhibits IGF2BP3, an RNA-binding protein, to stabilize MT-CO2 mRNA.

Article Synopsis
- - Fish cell lines do not easily undergo cellular senescence, which is linked to the absence of the p16 gene that prevents complete cell aging, even with activated Ras.
- - Unlike fish, Drosophila cells lacking p16 can progress to full senescence with a proinflammatory response (SASP) due to mitochondrial issues, but it's unclear if fish cells show the same progression.
- - In experiments, while fish cells did show a proinflammatory SASP when mitochondrial dysfunction was induced, it didn't lead to permanent growth arrest, indicating that other factors alongside mitochondrial issues are needed for full senescence in fish cells.
Titration of RAS alters senescent state and influences tumour initiation.

Oncogenic RAS-induced senescence (OIS) is an autonomous tumour suppressor mechanism associated with premalignancy. Achieving this phenotype typically requires a high level of oncogenic stress, yet the phenotype provoked by lower oncogenic dosage remains unclear. Here we develop oncogenic RAS dose-escalation models in vitro and in vivo, revealing a RAS dose-driven non-linear continuum of downstream phenotypes.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated skin disease in which upper epidermal keratinocytes exhibit a senescent-like phenotype. In psoriatic skin, a variety of inflammatory cytokines can activate intracellular pathways including phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling and RAS effectors. AKT and RAS participate to cellular senescence, but currently their role in senescence responses occurring in psoriasis have not yet been investigated.

Access to DNA is the first level of control in regulating gene transcription, a control that is also critical for maintaining DNA integrity. Cellular senescence is characterized by profound transcriptional rearrangements and accumulation of DNA lesions. Here, we discovered an epigenetic complex between HDAC4 and HDAC1/HDAC2 that is involved in the erase of H2BK120 acetylation.
