Macroautophagy is impaired in old murine brain tissue as well as in senescent human fibroblasts
The overall decrease in proteolytic activity in aging can promote and accelerate protein accumulation and metabolic disturbances. To specifically analyze changes in macroautophagy (MA) we quantified different autophagy-related proteins (ATGs) in young, adult and old murine tissue as well as in young and senescent human fibroblasts. Thus, we revealed significantly reduced levels of ATG5-ATG12, L...
متن کاملTelomere shortening in cultured human dermal fibroblasts is associated with acute photodamage induced by UVA irradiation
INTRODUCTION Photoaging is the superposition of chronic ultraviolet (UV)-induced damage on intrinsic aging. Telomere length is a molecular marker of cell aging, and genomic instability due to telomere shortening has been linked to several aging-related diseases. AIM To explore the effects of different doses of ultraviolet A (UVA) on the length of telomeres in human skin fibroblasts and partly...
متن کاملSenescent human diploid fibroblasts
The characteristic limited reproductive life-span of normal human fibroblasts in culture is due to a steadily decreasing fraction of cells able to proliferate in the standard rich growth media. We have observed that restricting the growth factor supply to old cells for variable lengths of time in culture increases the fraction of cells that can enter S-phase; although these cells do not go on t...
متن کاملBiological Effects Induced by Ultraviolet Radiation in Human Fibroblasts
As the most superficial body organ, skin plays an important role in protecting the body from environmental damage. The skin is composed of three layers: the epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The epidermis, the outermost layer, has as main functions to protect the body against harmful environmental stimuli and to reduce fluid loss. It is a stratified squamous epithelium with several lay...
متن کاملRegulation of ultraviolet light-induced gene expression by gene size.
UV light induces the expression of a wide variety of genes. At present, it is unclear how cells sense the extent of DNA damage and alter the expression of UV-induced genes appropriately. UV light induces DNA damage that blocks transcription, and the probability that a gene sustains transcription-blocking DNA damage is proportional to locus size and dose of UV light. Using colon carcinoma cells ...
