We investigated the mechanism underlying the natural variation in longevity within natural populations using the model budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We analyzed whole-genome gene expression in four progeny of a natural S. cerevisiae strain that display differential replicative aging. Genes with different expression levels in short- and long-lived strains were classified disproportionately into metabolism, transport, development, transcription or cell cycle, and organelle organization (mitochondrial, chromosomal, and cytoskeletal). With several independent validating experiments, we detected 15 genes with consistent differential expression levels between the long- and the short-lived progeny. Among those 15, SIR2, HSP30, and TIM17 were upregulated in long-lived strains, which is consistent with the known effects of gene silencing, stress response, and mitochondrial function on aging. The link between SIR2 and yeast natural life span variation offers some intriguing ties to the allelic association of the human homolog SIRT1 to visceral obesity and metabolic response to lifestyle intervention.

Outcomes Associated With Translating Evidence-Based Research Into Practice: The Physical Activity for Lifelong Success Program.

Background: Few programs assess for outcomes once translated into practice. The Physical Activity for Lifelong Success program was developed as a center-based public health intervention and shown to improve walking speed and distance among older adults with type 2 diabetes. We adapted the program for community-based delivery by lay leaders to physically inactive older adults. Read More

RAD54B inhibits vascular endothelial senescence via suppression of CHK1/p53/p21 pathway.

RAD54B belongs to the SNF2/SWI2 superfamily, participating in homologous recombination repair. DNA damage is the central driver of aging, but there is no direct evidence of an association between RAD54B and vascular aging. The present study sought to investigate the role and mechanisms of RAD54B in endothelial senescence. Read More

Aging-disturbed FUS Phase Transition Impairs Hematopoietic Stem Cell by Altering Chromatin Structure.

Aged hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) exhibit compromised reconstitution capacity. While, the molecular mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not fully understood. In this study, we observed that the expression of FUS is increased in aged HSCs and enforced FUS recapitulates the phenotype of aged HSCs through RGG-mediated aberrant FUS phase transition.

Background: The number of patients with prolonged critical illness (PCI) has been increasing in many countries, and the adrenal gland plays an important role in maintaining homeostasis during PCI. Chronic disease burden is reportedly associated with shorter telomere lengths in human tissues. Telomere shortening in human somatic cells is largely dependent on cell divisions, and critically short telomeres lead to cellular dysfunction and aging. Read More
