| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The main component of the circadian system is the suprachiasmatic nucleus. The study was to analyze the effects of hot-water and ethanol extracts from plant seeds on changes in the expression of clock genes (Per1 and Bmal1) and clock-controlled gene (Sirt1) in the human lung old fibroblasts. Per1 increased in the hot-water extracts and in the ethanol extracts. Bmal1 was up-regulated in the samples. Sirt1 decreased in the samples. PER1 and BMAL1 transcription factors increased in the samples. SIRT1 showed similar patterns to the resveratrol. Glucocorticoid receptor increased. Some of plant seeds increase the transcription factors of clock genes in the old fibroblasts, which mean that clock machinery is a target for theses extracts.
