3. Background – Axis 1
• Oncogene Induced Senescence (OIS)
• Anti-proliferative response
• Induced by:
• Activation of oncogene OR
• Inactivation of a tumor suppressor gene
• Ras vs. HRasG12V

4. Background – Axis 1
• RLR – Rig-like receptors
• Respond to dsRNA
• Trigger antiviral, antitumor, and
anti-proliferative response
• Activated pathways plays
protective role against cancer

5. Background – Axis 1
• HTMM hTERT RasG12V
• Immortalized breast cancer cell line
• Telomerase reverse transcriptase
• Mutated Ras via Lentivirus vector
• Continuously proliferating
• Treatment with Doxycycline
• Induces cellular senescence

10. Results Axis 1
• Proteins up-regulated due to doxycycline
treatment:
• RIG-I, MDA-5, MAVS, IKKε, ISG20, CYLD, NLRP3,
ULBP2
• Conclusion:
• Cells treated with doxycycline exhibit:
• Change in morphology
• Changes in expression levels of RLR Pathway
Senescence!

12. Background – Axis 2
• Dendritic cells
• Antigen-presenting cells
• Interface between innate and adaptive immune systems
• BDCA3+ CD141+
• DC subset
• Superior capacity to present Ag
• Activated BDCA3+ = stronger response
• Excellent target for vaccine against cancer

13. Background – Axis 2
• STING Stimulator of Interferon Genes
• Detect cytosolic DNA
• Target for cancer vaccine or immunotherapy
• Activation triggers natural anti-tumor response
