Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We found the ubiquitin system-related secretory molecule AnnexinA1 (ANXA1) derived from cDNA library of vascular endothelial cell by the functional gene screening for factors inducing oxidative stress in human dermal fibroblast. Although ANXA1 has been reported to be anti-inflammatory molecule, we speculated ANXA1 was cleaved in the milieu in which cell senescence was induced by oxidative stress and C-terminal fragment of ANXA1 (CT-ANXA1) showed proinflammatory action. CT-ANXA1-induced oxidative stress could evoke cell senescence and enhance secretion of inflammatory molecules in endothelial cells, potentially leading senescence-associated secretory phenomenon (SASP). Currently, we are investigating the pathological contribution of CT-ANXA1 on the various age-related diseases initiated by vascular endothelial dysfunction associated with SASP.
