ABSTRACT
Cellular senescence is defined as the physiological program of terminal growth arrest; in mammals it is an important tumor-suppressor mechanism since it stops premalignant cell proliferation. However, senescence also contributes to the decline associated to aging and the development of several diseases. This is explained by the fact that senescent cells secrete diverse molecules, which compromise the cellular microenvironment, and altogether are referred as senescent-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). The SASP is composed by cytokines, chemokines, growth factors, proteases, etc., whose function is to maintain the antiproliferative state and promote senescent cell clearance by the immune system. Nevertheless, over time, and particularly during old age, SASP might stimulate proliferation and premalignant cell transformation. The multifunctional roles of SASP would depend on the cell type and their physiological nature. Therefore, relying on the biological context, SASP could be beneficial and participate in the repair and regeneration processes, or detrimental and induce degenerative pathologies and cancer.
