概括
大的繁殖复苏,称为衰老后生殖事件 (PSREs),不会增加死亡率. 转录分析揭示了与年龄相关的基因表达的逆转,这表明与改善细胞维护的联系.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 发展生物学 发展生物学
- 分子生物学分子生物学
背景情况:
- 长寿动物浮游生物大夫尼亚 (Daphnia magna) 可以在生命晚期表现出生殖反弹,称为衰老后生殖事件 (PSRE).
- 这些事件往往被误解为死亡前的最后生殖努力,这种现象被称为终端投资.
研究的目的:
- 调查大的PSREs的生物基础.
- 为了确定PSRE是否与增加的死亡率有关或代表衰老的真正逆转.
- 为了识别与生殖再生相关的转录变化.
主要方法:
- 用RNA测序 (RNAseq) 来比较年轻的,生殖老化的和PSRE Daphnia雌性动物的基因表达特征.
- 分析重点关注与年龄相关的转录变化和在PSRE个体中表现出逆转的特定基因家族.
主要成果:
- 总体而言,与年龄相关的转录变化包括瓜尼丁单酸盐合成酶和瓜尼酸盐循环酶的转录增加,以及蛋白质合成基因的转录减少.
- 在PSRE个体中,阿波利波蛋白D,溶酶体脂酶,酶和参与线粒体和肌肉功能的蛋白质中,与年龄相关的上调调节发生逆转.
- 有证据表明,PSRE与与年龄相关的蛋白质/脂质聚合物的去除和亡的逆转有关.
结论:
- 大的衰老后生殖事件 (PSREs) 不表明即将死亡,也不导致死亡率增加.
- 生殖复苏与与年龄相关的特定转录变化的逆转有关,特别是涉及细胞维护和蛋白质平衡的转录变化.
- 需要进一步的研究来阐明驱动生殖逆转的精确机制及其与细胞修复过程的关系.

02:27Background and Environment Affect Phenotype
6.5K
Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...

01:29Somatic to iPS Cell Reprogramming
2.2K
Reprogramming alters the gene expression in somatic cells, transforming them into induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells over several generations. Scientists can reprogram cells by introducing genes for four transcription factors—Oct4, Sox2, Klf4, and c-Myc (OSKM) by viral or non-viral methods. These factors are also known as Yamanaka factors after Shinya Yamanaka, who first generated iPS cells using mouse skin cells. Yamanaka was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2012...
