      Senesco`s Technology Increases Pancreatic Islet Cell Survivability in Animal Study
      Wednesday March 22, 7:00 am ET


      NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2006--Senesco Technologies, Inc. ("Senesco" or the "Company") (AMEX: SNT - News) announced today that a preclinical animal study has shown that the Company`s proprietary gene technology increases the survivability of islets isolated for transplantation. Islets are the insulin producing cells located in the mammalian pancreas.



      Diabetes is a growing health problem in the developed world, with daily insulin injections being a common primary treatment. The transplantation of the insulin-producing islets from donors has progressed during the past five years. Most promising is the fact that patients whose condition is difficult to control with insulin have a rapid return to normal blood glucose upon islet transplantation. Unfortunately, islet transplantation typically requires cells from two donors and a large number of islets die during harvest due to isolation methods requiring digestive enzymes.

      Dr. Eli C. Lewis, working in the laboratory of Dr. Charles Dinarello at the University of Colorado, investigated the role of the Company`s eIF-5A1 (otherwise referred to as "Factor 5A") gene technology during the process of islet isolation for transplantation using a well-established mouse model. The team used a small interfering RNA ("siRNA") that downregulates expression of eIF-5A1, which the Company has shown reduces cell death in a variety of models. The researchers observed a significant increase in the survival of insulin-producing islets when mice received an infusion of the siRNA to eIF-51A compared to a control siRNA. In a concurrent study, the investigators showed that death of islets resulting from exposure to IL-1beta and interferon-gamma was also significantly reduced, meaning more viable islets remained.

      Dr. Dinarello, a member of the Company`s Scientific Advisory Board, said of the results, "The implications of these results for human islets transplantation are important since this siRNA can yield more viable (live) islets while increasing the number of transplantations that can be performed. Presently, one of the major drawbacks of islet transplantation is the low number of live islets that can be obtained for transplantation. The promise of this novel approach will be welcome to the field."

      About Senesco Technologies, Inc.

      Senesco has initiated preclinical research to trigger or delay cell death in mammals (apoptosis) to determine if its technology is applicable in human medicine. Accelerating apoptosis may have applications to the development of cancer treatments. Delaying apoptosis may have applications to certain diseases such as glaucoma, ischemia and arthritis, among others. Senesco takes its name from the scientific term for the aging of plant cells: senescence. The Company has developed technology that regulates the onset of cell death. Delaying cell breakdown in plants extends freshness after harvesting, while increasing crop yields, plant size and resistance to environmental stress for flowers, fruits and vegetables. In addition to its human health research programs, the Company believes that its technology can be used to develop superior strains of crops without any modification other than delaying natural plant senescence. Senesco has partnered with leading-edge companies engaged in agricultural biotechnology and earns research and development fees for applying its gene-regulating platform technology to enhance its partners` products. Senesco is headquartered in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

      Senesco's Technology Shows Reduction of Two Important Indicators of HIV-1 Replication in Human Cell Line Studies
      Wednesday March 29, 8:00 am ET


      NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 29, 2006--Senesco Technologies, Inc. ("Senesco" or the "Company") (AMEX:SNT - News) announced today that results from human cell line tests have shown that the Company's eukaryotic translation initiation Factor 5A1 ("Factor 5A1" or "eIF-5A1") gene technology reduces the amounts of p24 and IL-8 by approximately 50 percent in HIV-infected cells. The levels of p24, a core protein in HIV cells, and IL-8, a proinflammatory cytokine, rise proportionately with increased HIV replication, making both of them standard indicators of HIV-1 infection.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      Using a chronically HIV-1 infected human cell line, researchers in Dr. Leland Shapiro's lab at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center performed the studies for the Company. The HIV cell line was transfected with a small interfering RNA ("siRNA") to eIF-5A1 and then levels of p24 or IL-8 were measured, in separate assays, 72 hours later. Reduced levels of p24 and IL-8 correlate to suppressed replication of HIV-1.

      "Although these results represent early stages of investigation, they are promising for two reasons. First, these proof-of-concept studies suggest that eIF-5A1 is a viable target for HIV drug discovery. Second, eIF-5A1 is a molecule made by the cell and not the virus. Therefore, the eIF-5A1 target does not mutate and an anti-HIV strategy using this target may not be hampered by resistance brought about by viral mutation," Shapiro said.

      Bruce Galton, president and CEO of Senesco, commented, "We are very pleased with these initial data pertaining to suppressing viral replication in this HIV model. Viral replication is both an interesting and important new research area for the Company. These data reaffirm the potential broad applicability of Factor 5A in a variety of diseases, adding to our preclinical data in cancer, inflammation and immune response."

      Senesco's Technology Inhibits Tumor Development and Increases Longevity in Mouse Cancer Model
      Thursday April 27, 6:00 am ET


      NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 27, 2006--Senesco Technologies, Inc. ("Senesco" or the "Company") (AMEX:SNT - News) announced today the results of a study conducted in Dr. John Thompson's laboratory at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, in which mice injected with tumor-forming B16F0 melanoma cancer cells were treated with Senesco's proprietary gene, eIF-5A ("Factor 5A"). Tumors of adequate size formed in approximately nine days at which time treatment was initiated. Two control groups of nine mice each received placebo treatments and a test group of ten mice received Factor 5A, intratumorally, every other day. The median survival of the control mice was 7 days post-treatment, whereas, the mice that received Factor 5A treatment had a median survival of 25 days post-treatment (P less than 0.001). The enhanced survival time of the Factor 5A-treated mice equates to 3.5 fold or a 250% increase compared to the control mice. Two of the Factor 5A-treated mice are still alive, with one mouse in apparent complete remission. None of the control mice survived.
      ADVERTISEMENT


      In addition to this enhancement of survival, the tumors in the treated mice remained smaller and grew more slowly than those in the control mice.

      Dr. Thompson, the Company's Executive Vice President of Research and Development, commented, "These data build upon our previous preclinical cancer studies and provide more evidence for Factor 5A as an anti-cancer agent. It is very heartening to see reduced tumor growth rates in the treated mice."

      Future studies may focus on optimizing delivery of Factor 5A to tumors to determine if there would be an enhancement of treatment.

("Senesco" or the "Company") (AMEX:SNT - News) and ArborGen, LLC, the Company's forestry product co-development partner, announced the execution of a licensing agreement for exclusive use of the company's technology for the enhancement of forestry products. Execution of the agreement follows ArborGen's decision, announced in June 2006, to exercise its option to license Senesco's technology based on positive field trial results.

      As previously announced, Senesco and ArborGen have collaborated over the past four years in an effort to develop trees with greater biomass and shorter time to harvest. After three years of positive lab and greenhouse results, trees were established in the field in August 2004. At the end of the 2005 growing season, certain trees which were enhanced by the Senesco technology had approximately double the increase in volume relative to control trees.

      Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

      About Senesco Technologies, Inc.

      Senesco has initiated preclinical research to trigger or delay cell death in mammals (apoptosis) to determine if its technology is applicable in human medicine. Accelerating apoptosis may have applications to the development of cancer treatments. Delaying apoptosis may have applications to certain diseases such as glaucoma, ischemia and arthritis, among others. Senesco takes its name from the scientific term for the aging of plant cells: senescence. The Company has developed technology that regulates the onset of cell death. Delaying cell breakdown in plants extends freshness after harvesting, while increasing crop yields, plant size and resistance to environmental stress for flowers, fruits and vegetables. In addition to its human health research programs, the Company believes that its technology can be used to develop superior strains of crops without any modification other than delaying natural plant senescence. Senesco has partnered with leading-edge companies engaged in agricultural biotechnology and earns research and development fees for applying its gene-regulating platform technology to enhance its partners' products. Senesco is headquartered in New Brunswick, N.J.
