Mitochondrial Stress Signals Revise an Old Aging Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this issue, Durieux et al. (2011) describe a tissue-specific signal, originating from mitochondria, that acts cell non-autonomously to regulate life span in the nematode, C. elegans. This new finding provides a first step toward resolving the relative contributions of mitochondrial free radical damage and signaling mechanisms in aging.

Oxidative stress and the mitochondrial theory of aging in human skeletal muscle.
According to the mitochondrial theory of aging, an age-related increase in oxidative stress is responsible for cellular damage and ultimately cell death. Despite compelling evidence that supports the mitochondrial theory of aging in some tissues, data regarding aging skeletal muscle are inconsistent. We collected resting muscle biopsies from the vastus lateralis, and 24 h urine samples from, yo...
متن کاملVoluntary aerobic exercise increases arterial resilience and mitochondrial health with aging in mice
Mitochondrial dysregulation and associated excessive reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production is a key source of oxidative stress in aging arteries that reduces baseline function and may influence resilience (ability to withstand stress). We hypothesized that voluntary aerobic exercise would increase arterial resilience in old mice. An acute mitochondrial stressor (rotenone) caused greater (f...
متن کاملAge-related Changes in the Mitochondrial Superoxide Production by Peripheral Phagocytes in Whole Blood
PURPOSE: Ageing is a complex multi-factorial process. There are data published on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress as the factors that determine the lifespan of organisms. The oxidative injury of mitochondrial enzymes and the mitochondrial genome itself have been considered to play a role in a number of age-related degenerative processes. The aim of the present work was to stu...
متن کاملAging augments mitochondrial susceptibility to heat stress.
The pathophysiology of aging is accompanied by a decline in tolerance to environmental stress. While mitochondria are primary suspects in the etiology of aging, little is known about their ability to tolerate perturbations to homeostasis in older organisms. To investigate the role of mitochondria in the increased susceptibility to heat stress that accompanies aging, young and old Fischer 344 ra...
متن کاملMitofusin 1 and optic atrophy 1 shift metabolism to mitochondrial respiration during aging
Replicative and chronological lifespan are two different modes of cellular aging. Chronological lifespan is defined as the duration during which quiescent normal cells retain their capacity to re-enter the proliferative cycle. This study investigated whether changes in metabolism occur during aging of quiescent normal human fibroblasts (NHFs) and the mechanisms that regulate these changes. Bioe...
