p53 and P16INK4A pathways in the induction of cellular senescence. Internal or external stress factors trigger the DNA damage response pathway. On one side, p16INK4A inactivates Cdk4/6, determining hypo-phosphorylation of Rb. On the other side, p53 induces p21, which blocks CDK4/6 or directly results in senescence.
