IFNγ signaling in senescent tumor cells is necessary for immune surveillance. A,Ifngr1 KO of both proliferating and senescent NSP cells validated by flow cytometry. B, Tumor regression phenotype of Ifngr1 KO or control sgRNA–transfected tumor cells orthotopically injected into Bl/6N mice upon p53 restoration. A control sgRNA targeting a gene desert located on Chr8 (Ctrl KO) serves as a control. C, Tumor regression phenotype of parental NSP tumor cells orthotopically injected into WT or Ifng KO mice upon p53 restoration. D, Representative macroscopic images of tumor collected at day 21 after p53 restoration from C. E, Flow cytometry analysis of CD45 abundance in tumor from indicated groups. F, Representative immunofluorescence in p53-suppressed (proliferating) and p53-restored (senescent, 7 days after p53 restoration) tumor from the indicated host. NSP tumor cells were transduced with GFP-expressing vector for visualization. Scale bars, 50 μm. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Two-tailed Student t test was used. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001.
