Direct experimental evidence implicates telomere
erosion as a primary cause of cellular senescence. Using a well
characterized model system for breast cancer, we define here the
molecular and cellular consequences of adriamycin treatment in breast
tumor cells. Cells acutely exposed to adriamycin exhibited an increase in p53 activity, a decline in telomerase activity, and a dramatic increase in -galactosidase, a marker of senescence. Inactivation of
wild-type p53 resulted in a transition of the cellular response to
adriamycin treatment from replicative senescence to delayed apoptosis,
demonstrating that p53 plays an integral role in the fate of breast
tumor cells treated with DNA-damaging agents. Stable introduction of
hTERT, the catalytic protein component of telomerase, into MCF-7 cells
caused an increase in telomerase activity and telomere length.
Treatment of MCF-7-hTERT cells with adriamycin produced an identical
senescence response as controls without signs of telomere shortening,
indicating that the senescence after treatment is telomere
length-independent. However, we found that exposure to adriamycin
resulted in an overrepresentation of cytogenetic changes involving
telomeres, showing an altered telomere state induced by adriamycin is
probably a causal factor leading to the senescence phenotype. To our
knowledge, these data are the first to demonstrate that the mechanism
of adriamycin-induced senescence is dependent on both functional p53
and telomere dysfunction rather than overall shortening.
