NCI-H23

Human

NCI-H23 [H23] is an epithelial-like cell that was isolated from the lung of a Black, 51-year-old, male patient with adenocarcinoma. This cell line was deposited by AF Gazdar and JD Minna and can be used in toxicology and cancer research.

In Vitro TRAP Assay (Senescence)

The telomerase repeated amplification protocol (TRAP) assay is one of the common PCR-based assays used to detect telomerase activity in cells.

Cellular Senescence in Cancer Assays

Cell senescence is described as an irreversible physiological event of cell growth arrest, which is known to be caused by alterations of telomeres, oxidative stress, DNA damage and some oncogenes. Inhibition of the program of senescence is one of the main features of tumor cells and it has been reported that cancer cells can be induced to undergo senescence by chemo- and radiotherapies and genetic alterations. Telomeres help to prevent uncontrolled cell proliferation and the absence of telomeres results in aneuploidy and cell death.
