“…The dichotomous effects of senescence on the cancer phenotype is attributed to some of the SAS factors [ 11 , 12 , 42 , 43 ]. In this regard, IL-6 [ 52 ], IL-8 [ 18 , 53 ], vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) [ 54 ], osteopontin [ 55 ], chemerin [ 56 ], matrix metalloproteinase [ 57 ], C-X-C motif chemokine 11 (CXCL11) [ 58 ] are associated with tumor growth, vascularization, invasion, migration as well as metastasis [ 59 ]. For instance, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells exhibit increased proliferation index, migratory and invasive capacities when cultured in conditioned media from senescent mesenchymal stromal or fibroblast cells, effects attributed to IL-6 and/or IL-8 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) activation [ 52 , 53 ].…”
