Proposed mechanism of cellular senescence upon AKT inhibition. AKT inhibitor MK-2206 inactivates AKT and promotes ROS production and miR-182 overexpression. This, in turn, enhances HMGA2 expression. AKT inactivation will also release the negative regulation of P16 expression. Increased HMGA2 and P16 expression triggers the SIPS.
