Rb and p53 tumor suppressor pathways are key regulators of senescence induction and maintenance in many cell types. In general, cellular senescence constitutes a critical mechanism for tumour suppression in vivo and may contribute to organismal aging and agerelated diseases.
Considering the critical role of p53 in senescence regulation and common occurrence of p53 mutations in cancer cells, p53 is an attractive target for reactivation.
