Hallmarks of progeroid syndromes: lessons from mice and reprogrammed cells
Ageing is a process that inevitably affects most living organisms and involves the accumulation of macromolecular damage, genomic instability and loss of heterochromatin. Together, these alterations lead to a decline in stem cell function and to a reduced capability to regenerate tissue. In recent years, several genetic pathways and biochemical mechanisms that contribute to physiological ageing...
متن کاملB cell development in aging mice: lessons from mathematical modeling.
Previous studies have not completely clarified the precise defect that characterizes B cell development in aged animals. The question of which developmental mechanism is actually deficient in aging remains controversial. The goal of this study was to elucidate the effects of aging on bone marrow B cell population dynamics. We used mathematical modeling to predict the outcome of the different po...
متن کاملp21 both attenuates and drives senescence and aging in BubR1 progeroid mice.
BubR1 insufficiency occurs with natural aging and induces progeroid phenotypes in both mice and children with mosaic variegated aneuploidy syndrome. In response to BubR1 insufficiency, skeletal muscle, fat, and lens tissue engage p19(Arf) to attenuate senescence and age-related deterioration. Here, we address how p19(Arf) exerts this caretaker role using BubR1 progeroid mice lacking p53 or its ...
متن کاملEndurance exercise rescues progeroid aging and induces systemic mitochondrial rejuvenation in mtDNA mutator mice.
A causal role for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutagenesis in mammalian aging is supported by recent studies demonstrating that the mtDNA mutator mouse, harboring a defect in the proofreading-exonuclease activity of mitochondrial polymerase gamma, exhibits accelerated aging phenotypes characteristic of human aging, systemic mitochondrial dysfunction, multisystem pathology, and reduced lifespan. Ep...
متن کاملThe dire side of autophagy in aging: Lessons from C. elegans
ARTICLE HISTORY Received 13 October 2017 Accepted 17 October 2017 ABSTRACT Autophagy is an essential cellular process that eliminates cellular debris, dysfunctional organelles and misfolded proteins thereby maintaining cellular metabolism and homeostasis. Functional autophagy is generally thought to counteract aging and is crucial for the prolonged lifespan and health of an animal. Whereas this...
