Cellular senescence: Lessons from yeast for human aging?
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent results point to an important role for the nucleolus in the senescence of yeast cells. A further report suggests that the formation and preferential accumulation in mother cells of extrachromosomal rDNA circles is a cause of aging in yeast; this may be an ancient and conserved mechanism of senescence.

Chronological lifespan in stationary culture: from yeast to human cells
A decade ago, Mikhail Blagosklonny predicted that cellular senescence is driven by mitogenic pathways, when the cell cycle is blocked and actual growth is impossible [1]. In particular, the mitogenand nutrientsensing mTOR (Target of Rapamycin) pathway drives either cell mass growth or aging [2]. Rapamycin prevents conversion of reversible cell cycle arrest to senescence [3-11]. When the cell cy...
متن کاملIdentification of evolutionarily conserved genetic regulators of cellular aging
To identify new genetic regulators of cellular aging and senescence, we performed genome-wide comparative RNA profiling with selected human cellular model systems, reflecting replicative senescence, stress-induced premature senescence, and distinct other forms of cellular aging. Gene expression profiles were measured, analyzed, and entered into a newly generated database referred to as the GiSA...
متن کاملRas induces vascular smooth muscle cell senescence and inflammation in human atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Vascular cells have a finite cell lifespan and eventually enter an irreversible growth arrest, cellular senescence. The functional changes associated with cellular senescence are thought to contribute to human aging and age-related vascular disorders. Ras, an important signaling molecule involved in atherogenic stimuli, is known to promote aging in yeast and cellular senescence in pr...

Skin aging is a process of structural and compositional remodeling that can be manifested by wrinkling and sagging. Remarkably, the dermis plays a dominant role in the aging process. Recent studies suggest that microRNAs are implicated in the regulation of gene expression during aging. However, studies about age-related microRNAs and how they modulate skin aging remain limited. In the present w...
متن کاملCellular Aging: Symmetry Evades Senescence
Cellular aging programs typically rely on the asymmetric shape and growth pattern of cells. A new study shows that symmetric fission yeast cells escape classic signs of aging until they encounter environmental stress.
