Arginase-II Deficiency Extends Lifespan in Mice
The mitochondrial arginase type II (Arg-II) has been shown to interact with ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and mitochondrial p66Shc and to promote cell senescence, apoptosis and inflammation under pathological conditions. However, the impact of Arg-II on organismal lifespan is not known. In this study, we demonstrate a significant lifespan extension in mice with Arg-II gene deficiency (Ar...
متن کاملRELAPSE RATE IN DAILY SINGLE-DOSE PREDNISOLONE THERAPY FOR CHILDREN WITH PRIMARY NEPHROTIC SYNDROME
Most current references recommend divided doses of prednisolone for the initial treatment of idiopathic minimal change nephrotic syndrome in children, with relapse occuring in the majority of them, but there is little experience concerning single-dose prednisolone therapy, especially considering the relapse rate. In this prospective study on 36 consecutive children with primary nephrotic s...
متن کاملDepleting the methyltransferase Suv39h1 improves DNA repair and extends lifespan in a progeria mouse model
A de novo G608G mutation in LMNA gene leads to Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Mice lacking the prelamin A-processing metalloprotease, Zmpste24, recapitulate many of the progeroid features of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome. Here we show that A-type lamins interact with SUV39H1, and prelamin A/progerin exhibits enhanced binding capacity to SUV39H1, protecting it from proteasomal degr...
متن کاملOverexpression of Atg5 in mice activates autophagy and extends lifespan
Autophagy has been implicated in the ageing process, but whether autophagy activation extends lifespan in mammals is unknown. Here we show that ubiquitous overexpression of Atg5, a protein essential for autophagosome formation, extends median lifespan of mice by 17.2%. We demonstrate that moderate overexpression of Atg5 in mice enhances autophagy, and that Atg5 transgenic mice showed anti-agein...
متن کاملRapamycin extends lifespan and delays tumorigenesis in heterozygous p53+/− mice
TOR (Target of Rapamycin) pathway accelerates cellular and organismal aging. Similar to rapamycin, p53 can inhibit the mTOR pathway in some mammalian cells. Mice lacking one copy of p53 (p53+/- mice) have an increased cancer incidence and a shorter lifespan. We hypothesize that rapamycin can delay cancer in heterozygous p53+/- mice. Here we show that rapamycin (given in a drinking water) extend...
