- W126133676 abstract "Author(s): Greenhall, Jennifer Anne | Abstract: A delicate balance exists between life and death in ecosystems, species, individuals and even neurons. A neuron can suffer a barrage of insults, and still protective factors may allow the cell to endure. However, once a critical threshold of damage is reached, the cell cannot recover. This balance of positive and negative influences affects not only the lifespan of a single neuron but can ultimately shape the lifespan of the organism itself. In order to understand the causes of accelerated and neurological in mammals, we studied two normal aging control strains and two senescence-accelerated mouse strains, SAMP8/Ta (S8) and SAMP10//Ta (S10), which exhibit an early onset of age- related behavioral and neuropathological phenotypes. Hippocampal gene expression analyses revealed only a few common gene expression changes with age in all four lines. The accelerated lines exhibited fewer upregulated genes with age, especially S8, and throughout their life showed higher expression of repetitive viral sequences and lower levels of important transcription factors. Specifically, the S8 strain demonstrated upregulation of several inflammatory genes, which may indicate elevated oxidative stress, whereas the S10 line showed increased levels of caspase 9, suggesting a higher basal level of cell death. In an attempt to detect sequence differences present within the gene expression data, we developed a web-based tool, GeSNP, that identified several genes containing mutations in the accelerated strains. Importantly, the S10 strain contains a splicing mutation in the mRNA of fibroblast growth factor 1 (Fgf1) that results in a C-terminal truncation eliminating most of the heparin-binding domain. Several truncated forms of Fgfs have been previously shown to act as antagonists. In order to determine if the mutant Fgf1 interferes with the effects of other co-expressed Fgfs in a dominant negative manner, we transiently transfected Fgf2 and the S10 mutant Fgf1 into primary mouse fibroblasts. Proliferation assays showed that the mutant S10 Fgf1 can indeed interfere with the mitogenic effects of Fgf2 in vitro" @default.
