Fig. 1. Senescence in PDA initiation.

Fig. 1

Hallmarks of senescent cells include growth arrest, expression of p53, p21, p16, SAβgal, and robust secretion of SASP. Senescence plays a vital role in the process of ADM-PanIN-PDA progression. Majority of ADM undergo senescence, eliminating pre-malignant cell. Some ADM and PanIN contribute to oncogenesis, while successful progression of ADM to PDA requires escape senescence.
