DNA damage, NF-κB and accelerated aging.

چکیده
The aging process is the major risk factor for disease and disability yet the cellular mechanisms for aging are uncertain. By studying transgenic mice with altered expression of the DNA repair enzyme, ERCC1, it was concluded that DNA damage is an important, if not the primary mechanism for aging. Moreover it was established that altered activity of the transcription factor, NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa B) mediates the effects of DNA damage on aging. Therefore inhibition of NF-κB might have a role in delaying aging.

The accumulation of cellular damage, including DNA damage, is thought to contribute to aging-related degenerative changes, but how damage drives aging is unknown. XFE progeroid syndrome is a disease of accelerated aging caused by a defect in DNA repair. NF-κB, a transcription factor activated by cellular damage and stress, has increased activity with aging and aging-related chronic diseases. To...
متن کاملThe senescent bystander effect is caused by ROS-activated NF-κB signalling
Cell senescence is an important driver of the ageing process. The accumulation of senescent cells in tissues is accelerated by stress signals from senescent cells that induce DNA damage and ultimately senescence in bystander cells. We examine here the interplay of senescence-associated mitochondrial dysfunction (SAMD)-driven production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and senescence-associated ...

consequence of a stochastic process caused by the accumulative effect of damaged molecules. However, recent experimental evidences have extended this view and suggested that aging also requires active signaling programs for the maintenance of the aged state [1]. Beyond cell-autonomous alterations, age signals get systemic through changes in intercellular communication pathways [2]. The identifi...

With aging, there is progressive loss of tissue homeostasis and functional reserve, leading to an impaired response to stress and an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. A key mediator of the cellular response to damage and stress is the transcription factor NF-κB. We demonstrated previously that NF-κB transcriptional activity is upregulated in tissues from both natural aged mice and in a...
متن کاملDNA damage-induced nuclear factor-kappa B activation and its roles in cancer progression
DNA damage is a vital challenge to cell homeostasis. Cellular responses to DNA damage (DDR) play essential roles in maintaining genomic stability and survival, whose failure could lead to detrimental consequences such as cancer development and aging. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) is a family of transcription factors that plays critical roles in cellular stress response. Along with p53, NF-κB m...
