Chemical compound and disease context of Aging, Premature

  • We discovered this polymorphism when we cloned the mitochondrial manganese-containing superoxide dismutase from cell lines of normal individuals and patients with genetic diseases of premature aging and compared their sequences to each other and to those previously reported [12].
  • Brain cell alterations suggesting premature aging induced by dietary deficiency of vitamin B6 and/or copper [13].
  • Experiments investigating the effects of endogenous excitatory amino acid antagonists and stimulants of melatonin biosynthesis such as magnesium may finally lead to novel therapeutic approaches for the prevention of degeneration and dysdifferentiation associated with diseases related to premature aging [14].
  • It was hypothesized that such glucose-induced premature aging in animals with a genetically restricted potential for beta-cell proliferation could contribute to the precipitation of overt diabetes [15].
  • Finally, estradiol has been shown to produce premature aging of the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus, which secretes gonadotropin-releasing hormone [16].

Gene context of Aging, Premature

  • Several other replication mutations, such as rad27 Delta, encoding the FEN-1 nuclease involved in several aspects of genomic stability, also show premature aging [25].
  • Late-generation sgs1 and srs2 cells senesce due to apparent premature aging, most likely involving the accumulation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles [26].
  • Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is an autosomal genetic disease demonstrating a variety of phenotypic abnormalities, including premature aging, increased cancer incidence, chromosome instability, and sensitivity to ionizing radiation [27].
  • When wrn-1 expression was inhibited by RNA interference (RNAi), a slight reduction in C. elegans life span was observed, with accompanying signs of premature aging, such as earlier accumulation of lipofuscin and tissue deterioration in the head [28].
  • The addition of these genes increases the total to five helicase genes in the human RecQ family, which includes helicases involved in Bloom and Werner syndromes, the genetic diseases manifesting the distinctive but overlapping clinical phenotypes of immunodeficiency, premature aging, and an enhanced risk of cancer [29].
