Research Abstract |
In this study, we investigated the mechanism underling the development of accelerated senescence in SAMP8 mice. Oxidative stress is a cause of aging, and is systemically accumulated in SAMP8. Thus, we estimated Nrf2, oxidative stress sensor, in the liver of SAMP8 and SAMR1 by Western Blot analysis. The protein level of Nrf2 in the nucleus of the liver was significantly decreased in SAMP8. In addition, the phosphorylation of Akt and GSK-3b was significantly decreased in the liver of SAMP8. Thus, it is suggested that the reduction of the translocation of Nrf2 into the nucleus might be induced by a decrease of GSK-3b phosphorylation, resulting in an increase of oxidative stress in SAMP8 mice.
