Graft versus Host Disease: From Basic Pathogenic Principles to DNA Damage Response and Cellular Senescence

Figure 2

ATM kinase has a crucial role in the initiation of SASP in the DNA damage response and is required for the secretion of the two major inflammatory cytokines, for example, IL-6 and IL-8. Persistent DNA damage stimulates NF-κB signaling, which consequently regulates the expression of various SASP-related genes.
