Senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) involves secretion of factors such as pro-inflammatory cytokines. Here the authors show that MIR31HG regulates the expression and secretion of a subset of SASP components that induce paracrine invasion, through interaction with YBX1 and induction of IL1A translation.
