| Description: |
Striking morphologic alterations characteristic of senescent cells were indeed observed in SK-N-SH cells on nutlin-3 administration, including a flattened and enlarged cell shape with increased cytoplasmic granularity. Gene expression of the cell cycle inhibitor CDKN1A was increased 14-fold after 24 hours of incubation with 16 μmol/L nutlin-3, with ~70% of cells residing in G1 phase. Treatment with 16 μmol/L nutlin-3 significantly enhanced the number of SA-β-gal-expressing cells with rapid kinetics (411 per mm2 after 24 hours; 95% CI, 371-451; P < 0.0001), suggesting that nutlin-3 does not just select for SA-β-gal-expressing cells but Activately induces a senescence-like phenomenon in surviving SK-N-SH cells. After 7 days of exposure to 16 μmol/L nutlin-3, ~100% of SK-N-SH cells not subject to apoptotic cell death stained positive for SA-β-gal and had acquired a senescence-like morphology. |
