Cellular senescence is a unique process of normal physiology, from embryonic development to aging, also known for its association with a broad range of pathological conditions. Therefore a reliable model of cellular senescence remains an indispensable tool for the investigation of senescence-associated changes and human disease. Here we describe a model of HT1080 fibrosarcoma cells with an inducible senescence phenotype. These cells are equipped with the lac repressor and exogenous p21 under the control of a lac repressor regulated promoter. The senescent phenotype is induced in these cells by isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)-inducible expression of senescence-associated cell cycle inhibitor p21Wafl/Clp1/Sdi1.
