Here we investigated the metabolic characteristics and the effect of the so called senescence associated secretory phenotype (SASP) on extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation of p53 re-activation induced senescence, using a murine liver carcinoma cell model, where p53 is silenced in the presence of doxycycline hyclate. Senescence is induced within three days after doxycycline hyclate withdrawal and subsequent p53 re-activation. Our data revealed alterations of metabolites in p53-reactivation induced senescent H-Ras cells compared to control cells, including creatine, phosphocreatine and glycerophosphocholine indicating differences in energy and phospholipid metabolism. Senescent H-Ras cells tended to degrade the ECM more than control cells.
