| Research Abstract |
1. It was clarified that the application of two non isotopic techniques as a genomics approach-fluorescence differential display-PCR to the first screening and the comparative RT-PCR to the subsequent confirmation-has allowed us to identify and characterize novel genes expressed in an age-related manner.
2. Using the method describe above, we succeeded in identification of an age-dependently expressed gene encoding a novel protein, Mpv17-like protein, M-LP in mouse kidney, then characterized its molecular-biological aspects such as the structure of cDNA and gene, and identification of spliced isoforms. Cell-biological analysis demonstrated that M-LP localized in peroxisomal membrane: we elucidated the peroxisomal membrane targeting signal and membrane topology of M-LP. Furthermore, M-LP may be involved in metabolism of reactive oxygen species through regulating expression of antioxidant enzyme genes.
3. We identified and characterized a human homolog of the M-LP as a marker fiage-estimat

ion.
4. We succeeded in determination of the complete primary structure of a young age-specifi urinary glycoprotein, Ugl-Y, which had previously been identified by a proteomics approach Ugl-Y was clarified to be derived from a. young age-specific proteolysis of one of the matri proteins, fibronection.
5. Characterization of age-related alterations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of various tissues revealed that mtDNA, its transcripts and mtDNA encoded products generally increase in content during the course of aging.
6. We have previously found levels of deoxyribonuclease I (DNase I) activity in human pituitary gland to alter in an age-related manner. An abrupt elevation of serum DNase I activity was observed within approximately 3 hours of the onset of acute myocardial infarction (AMI. Therefore, serum DNase I could be used as a new diagnostic marker for the early detection of AMI.
7. Transient myocardial ischemia during percutaneous coronary intervention induced a significant elevation of serum DNase I activity. Increased activity of the enzyme may prove useful as a sensitive marker for detection of transient myocardial ischemia.
8. Possible regulation of human DNase I gene expression, in which transcription factor Spl is involved, was elucidated. Less
