The molecular mechanism of cellular senescence. Telomere attrition, DNA damage, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oncogenic activation activate the expression of p16, P53/P21 and P27. P16, P53/P21 and P27 inhibit the phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (Rb) and inhibit the transcription of E2F, resulting in cell cycle arrest.
