Arginase-II Deficiency Extends Lifespan in Mice
The mitochondrial arginase type II (Arg-II) has been shown to interact with ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) and mitochondrial p66Shc and to promote cell senescence, apoptosis and inflammation under pathological conditions. However, the impact of Arg-II on organismal lifespan is not known. In this study, we demonstrate a significant lifespan extension in mice with Arg-II gene deficiency (Ar...
متن کاملInducible knockdown of pregnancy‐associated plasma protein‐A gene expression in adult female mice extends life span
Pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) knockout (KO) mice, generated through homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, have a significantly increased lifespan compared to wild-type littermates. However, it is unknown whether this longevity advantage would pertain to PAPP-A gene deletion in adult animals. In the present study, we used tamoxifen (Tam)-inducible Cre recombinase-med...
متن کاملComparison of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, troponin and creatine kinase-MB levels in acute coronary syndrome
Background: Early diagnosis and proper treatment of patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic heart disease are important in determining prognosis, preventing adverse effects, and may even save lives. In this study, the level of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in ACS patients was compared with the control group, in addition to cardiac Troponin (cTn) and creatine kin...
متن کاملOverexpression of Atg5 in mice activates autophagy and extends lifespan
Autophagy has been implicated in the ageing process, but whether autophagy activation extends lifespan in mammals is unknown. Here we show that ubiquitous overexpression of Atg5, a protein essential for autophagosome formation, extends median lifespan of mice by 17.2%. We demonstrate that moderate overexpression of Atg5 in mice enhances autophagy, and that Atg5 transgenic mice showed anti-agein...
متن کاملPregnancy-associated plasma protein A in pregnancy-related gynaecologic emergency.
Serum concentrations of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) were measured in patients with pregnancy-related gynaecologic emergencies including ectopic pregnancy (n = 124) and intrauterine abortion (n = 40). The results were compared with those in normal pregnancy (n = 136) and non-pregnant women (n = 460). In ectopic pregnancy and intrauterine abortion, the PAPP-A levels were lower ...
