Abstract
Cellular senescence acts as a potent barrier to tumorigenesis and
contributes to the anti-tumor activity of certain chemotherapeutic
agents. Senescent cellsundergo a stable cell cycle arrest controlled
by RB and p53 and, in addition, display a senescence-associated
secretory phenotype (SASP) involving the production of factors that
reinforce the senescence arrest, alter the microenvironment, and
trigger immune surveillance of the senescent cells. Through a
proteomics analysis of senescentchromatin, we identified the nuclear
factor-κB (NF-κB) subunit p65 as a major transcription factor that
accumulates on chromatin of senescent cells. We found that NF-κB acts
as a master regulator of the SASP, influencing the expression of more
genes than RB and p53 combined. In cultured fibroblasts, NF-κB
suppression causes escape from immune recognition by natural killer
(NK) cellsand cooperates with p53 inactivation to bypass senescence.
In a mouse lymphoma model, NF-κB inhibition bypasses treatment-induced
senescence, producing drug resistance, early relapse, and reduced
survival. Our results demonstrate that NF-κB controls both cell-
autonomous and non-cell-autonomous aspects of the senescence program
and identify a tumor-suppressive function of NF-κB that contributes to
the outcome of cancer therapy.
