Cellular redox imbalance and changes of protein S-glutathionylation patterns are associated with senescence induced by oncogenic H-ras.

H-Ras oncogene requires deregulation of additional oncogenes or inactivation of tumor suppressor proteins to increase cell proliferation rate and transform cells. In fact, the expression of the constitutively activated H-RasV12 induces cell growth arrest and premature senescence, which act like barr...
