Pax6 affects Ras-Raf-ERK1/2 in mouse aging brain
Biogerontology. 2023 Jul 12. doi: 10.1007/s10522-023-10044-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPax6, a transcription factor and multifunctional protein, changes during aging. It also interacts with regulator proteins involved in cell metabolism and survival signalling pathways including Ras-GAP. Many forms of Ras, Raf and ERK1/2 are known but information on their region-specific expression patterns are unavailable from brain during aging. Therefore, it has been intended to evaluate expressions of Pax6 and forms of Ras, Raf, ERK1/2 in hippocampus, caudate nucleus, amygdale, cerebral cortex, cerebellum and olfactory lobe. Assoc...

SARS-COV-2 spike protein promotes RPE cell senescence via the ROS/P53/P21 pathway
In conclusions, the S-protein of SARS-Cov-2 induces cellular senescence of ARPE-19 cells in vitro and the expression of senescence-associated cytokines in zebrafish retina in vivo likely by activating ER stress, ROS, and NF-κb. These results may uncover a potential association between SARS-cov-2 infection and development of AMD.PMID:36738354 | PMC:PMC9898700 | DOI:10.1007/s10522-023-10019-0

Osteocalcin inhibits myocyte aging through promotion of starvation-induced autophagy via IL-6/STAT3 signaling
In conclusion, the inhibition of osteocalcin on muscle cell aging is accompanied by the induction of IL-6-STAT3-dependent autophagy, indicating osteocalcin might be a promising therapeutic candidate for aging-related myopathies.PMID:36621698 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2023.112082

Changes in AMPK activity induces cellular senescence in human dental follicle cells
This study examined the role of AMPK in inducing senescence in DFCs. During the induction of cellular senescence, AMPK activity was impaired, suggesting a negative impact on senescence induction. In line with this assumption, cellular senescence was induced upon inhibition of AMPK with a specific siRNA. In addition, after this inhibition, autophagy was also inhibited. Moreover, specific inhibition of autophagy promoted cellular senescence. However, inducers of AMPK such as metformin or AICAR surprisingly increased senescence in DFCs. Interestingly, autophagy was impaired after long-term induction of AMPK with AICAR and met...

Aging induces abnormal accumulation of A β in extracellular vesicle and/or intraluminal membrane vesicle-rich fractions in nonhuman primate brain
Neurobiol Aging. 2021 Jul 5;106:268-281. doi: 10.1016/j.neurobiolaging.2021.06.022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAβ metabolism in the brain is mediated by endocytosis, one part of the intracellular membrane trafficking system. We previously showed that aging attenuates the interaction of dynein with dynactin, which disrupts the endosomal/lysosomal trafficking pathway involved in Aβ metabolism, resulting in intracellular accumulation of Aβ. Several studies have shown that in Alzheimer's disease (AD), intraneuronal accumulation of Aβ precedes extracellular Aβ depositions. However, it is unclear what accounts for this t...

Nothobranchius fish: an untapped resource for studying aging-related neurodegeneration.
Authors: Genade T Abstract New models in which aging-related neurodegeneration more closely resembling the combination of pathologies that develop in aging humans are needed. The fish Nothobranchius, which naturally develops such pathologies over the course of its short lifespan, is one such model. This review compares the lifespans and pathologies of different Nothobranchius strains to those of current vertebrate models of aging. Furthermore, existing data pertaining to neurodegeneration in these fish is discussed in the context of their reported neuropathologies, along with open questions related to mammalian chr...
