Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand the molecular mechanisms of cellular senescence when DNA damages occurred, we identified and characterized several genes that are crucial for senescence. By using a developed experimental system in which cellular senescence or apoptosis is induced preferentially by altering the concentration of etoposide, a DNA-damaging drug to induce DNA double-strand brakes, we compared gene expression profiles of senescent and apoptotic cells by microarray analysis and identified several genes specifically upregulated in senescent cells. Among these genes, we focused on proline dehydrogenase and D-amino acid oxidase. It was clarified that both genes played crucial roles in senescence by producing reactive oxygen species as byproducts in amino acid metabolism.
