a

Factors are arranged by family.

b

The secretory changes that occur at senescence are indicated by upward arrows (increase), crosses (no change), and downward arrows (decrease). Loss of p53 or gain of oncogenic RAS increases (upward arrows) or decreases (downward arrows) the secretion of several SASP factors.
