Behavioral characterization of system xc- mutant mice
The slc7a11 gene encodes xCT, an essential component of 'system xc-', a plasma membrane exchanger that imports cystine and exports glutamate. Slc7a11 is expressed primarily in the brain, but its role there is not clear. We performed behavioral tests on two different strains of homozygous slc7a11 mutant mice ('sut' and 'xCT'), as well as heteroallelic offspring of these two strains ('xCT/sut') a...
متن کاملSystems medicine of inflammaging
Systems Medicine (SM) can be defined as an extension of Systems Biology (SB) to Clinical-Epidemiological disciplines through a shifting paradigm, starting from a cellular, toward a patient centered framework. According to this vision, the three pillars of SM are Biomedical hypotheses, experimental data, mainly achieved by Omics technologies and tailored computational, statistical and modeling t...
متن کاملInflammaging: disturbed interplay between autophagy and inflammasomes
Inflammaging refers to a low-grade pro-inflammatory phenotype which accompanies aging in mammals. The aging process is associated with a decline in autophagic capacity which impairs cellular housekeeping, leading to protein aggregation and accumulation of dysfunctional mitochondria which provoke reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and oxidative stress. Recent studies have clearly indicated...
متن کاملMicroRNAs, T follicular helper cells and inflammaging
Advanced age is associated with a declining ability to mount satisfactory immune responses (i.e. immunosenescence) resulting in increased infection susceptibility and diminished vaccine-elicited immune responses. Paradoxically, aged individuals also have a reduced ability to resolve certain types of inflammation (i.e. inflammaging) leading to chronic, low-grade inflammatory responses and the de...
متن کاملRegulation of System xc− by Pharmacological Manipulation of Cellular Thiols
The cystine/glutamate exchanger (system xc (-)) mediates the transport of cystine into the cell in exchange for glutamate. By releasing glutamate, system xc (-) can potentially cause excitotoxicity. However, through providing cystine to the cell, it regulates the levels of cellular glutathione (GSH), the main endogenous intracellular antioxidant, and may protect cells against oxidative stress. ...
