Abstract
Background:IL-4 can directly inhibit growth of several tumor cell types, but the molecular mechanism is not known. Results:IL-4 induces senescence by increasing p21 WAF1/CIP1 expression through STAT6 and p38 MAPK. Conclusion:STAT6 and p38 MAPK play important roles in senescence induction by IL-4. Significance:This is the first report of cellular senescence induction by IL-4 and the responsible mechanism.
