Sourcing problems
[edit]The following was added today, and there is unsourced content and sources that fail WP:MEDRS. This sort of thing has a lot of hype around it and sourcing needs to be very high quality for this.
- DNA repair and extended longevity
Many authors have noted an association between defects in the DNA damage response and premature aging. If a DNA repair protein is deficient, unrepaired DNA damages tend to accumulate.[1] Such accumulated DNA damages appear to cause features of premature aging (segmental progeria) (see Defects in DNA repair cause features of premature aging).
On the other hand, genetic alterations that increase DNA repair or decrease damage in DNA, may cause extended longevity. Table 1 lists DNA repair proteins whose increased expression is connected to extended longevity.
Protein | Pathway | Description |
---|---|---|
NDRG1 | Direct reversal | long-lived Snell dwarf, GHRKO, and PAPPA-KO mice have increased expression of NDRG1; higher expression of NDRG1 can promote MGMT DNA repair protein stability and enhanced DNA repair[2][3] |
NUDT1 (MTH1) | Oxidized nucleotide removal | degrades 8-oxodGTP; prevents the age-dependent accumulation of DNA 8-oxoguanine[4] A transgenic mouse in which the human hMTH1 8-oxodGTPase is expressed,[5] giving over-expression of hMTH1, increases the median lifespan of mice to 914 days vs. 790 days for wild-type mice.[4] Mice with over-expressed hMTH1 have behavioral changes of reduced anxiety and enhanced investigation of environmental and social cues |
PARP1 | Base excision repair,[6] nucleotide excision repair,[7] microhomology-mediated end joining,[8] single-strand break repair[9] | PARP1 activity in blood cells of thirteen mammalian species (rat, guinea pig, rabbit, marmoset, sheep, pig, cattle, pigmy chimpanzee, horse, donkey, gorilla, elephant and man) correlates with maximum lifespan of the species.[10] |
SIRT1 | Nucleotide excision repair, homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining[11] | Increased expression of SIRT1 in male mice extends the lifespan of mice fed a standard diet, accompanied by improvements in health, including enhanced motor coordination, performance, bone mineral density, and insulin sensitivity[12][13] |
SIRT6 | Base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining[14] | male, but not female, transgenic mice overexpressing Sirt6 have a significantly longer lifespan than wild-type mice[15] |
