| Research Abstract |
Here we investigated the effects of FEN1 ablation on growth of different cell types with or without intact p53 by using RNA interference. We found that the FEN1 ablation triggers senescence in p53-mutated T24 cells. However, transfection of the wild-type p53 into these T24 cells inhibited the senescence. On the other hand, HT116 cells with the wild-type p53 were not introduced to senescence by interfering FEN1 expression ; instead, the cells underwent apoptosis. Contrary in HT116 cells defective of p53 did not exhibit senescence or apoptosis after FEN1 siRNA treatment. Interestingly, ionizing irradiation(5Gy) caused senescence in p53-dfective HT116 cells that were treated with FEN1 siRNA. These results suggest that FEN1-induced senescence is p53-dependent and imply that this mechanism may be involved in UV-induced tumorigenesis.
