Trade Name	Chemicon
Description	Cellular Senescence Assay
Overview	Cellular senescence is one of the most fundamental aspects of cell behavior, and is thought to play a critical role in regulating cellular lifespan both in vitro and in vivo [1-3]. Primary somatic cells grown in vitro do not proliferate indefinitely. Instead, after a period of rapid proliferation, cell division rate slows, and ultimately ceases altogether, with the cells becoming unresponsive to mitogenic stimuli. This process is termed cellular senescence, and senescent cells have a well-defined accompanying phenotype - increased cell size, distinctive flat morphology, accumulated lipofuscin granules, wide changes in gene expression, and activity of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) [2,3]. It is generally believed that cellular senescence reflects some of the changes that occur during the aging of organisms, and senescent cells have been detected in vivo at sites of age-related pathology, such as benign hyperplastic prostate [4] and atherosclerotic lesions [5]. Recent studies have also provided convincing demonstrations of cellular senescence occurring in vivo in response to internally- and externally-induced stress signals [6,7]. In all of these studies, senescence was characterized by the appearance of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity, in common with the senescent phenotype in vitro. Cellular senescence has become an increasingly important target in the development of novel therapeutics. Emerging data implicates senescence bypass in the development of cancer and suggests that senescence may represent a tumor suppressor mechanism. The demonstration that tumor cells can be induced to undergo replicative senescence following the introduction of negative cell-cycle regulators, anti-telomerase peptides, or drug treatment suggests that induction of senescence can be exploited as a basis for cancer therapy [8,9]. For Research Use Only; Not for use in diagnostic procedures Test Principle: As outlined above, a classic characteristic of the senescent phenotype is the induction of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity. SA-β-gal is present only in senescent cells, not in presenescent, quiescent, or proliferating cells. Chemicon's Cellular Senescence Assay Kit provides all the reagents required to efficiently detect SA-β-gal activity at pH 6.0 in cultured cells and tissue sections. In this assay, SA-β-gal catalyzes the hydrolysis of X-gal, which results in the accumulation of a distinctive blue color in senescent cells. Each kit provides sufficient quantities of reagents to perform at least 50 assays in 35 mm wells.

What has senescence got to do with cancer? Dimri, Goberdhan P Cancer Cell, 7: 505-12 (2005) 2005 显示摘要 Cancer therapeutics are primarily thought to work by inducing apoptosis in tumor cells. However, various tumor suppressors and oncogenes have been shown to regulate senescence in normal cells, and senescence bypass appears to be an important step in the development of cancer. Cellular senescence limits the replicative capacity of cells, thus preventing the proliferation of cells that are at different stages of malignancy. A recent body of evidence suggests that induction of senescence can be exploited as a basis for cancer therapy.	15950900

Replicative senescence revisited. Marcotte, Richard and Wang, Eugenia J. Gerontol. A Biol. Sci. Med. Sci., 57: B257-69 (2002) 2002 显示摘要 Forty years after its discovery, replicative senescence remains a rich source of information about cell-cycle regulation and the progression from a normal to a transformed phenotype. Effectors of this growth-arrested state are being discovered at a great pace. This review discusses the latest findings on the players responsible for establishing replicative senescence, as well as the associated telomere shortening.	12084796
