Aging Overview

Aging gene

Gene name: BMP4
Aging type: Accelerate
Aging characteristic:
Tissue type: --
Cell name: A549
Gene ID: 652
Category: protein coding
Phenotype: Lung cancer
Experimental category: L
PMID: 12959928
Experiment: Cell morphological analysis//SA-β-gal activity assay
Description: A change in morphology was apparent after 2 wk of treatment. The slower-growing cells were larger, flattened, and more granular than untreated cell;A fourfold increase in S-A-β-gal activity was seen after 17 days of BMP4 treatment;Laddering was reduced in untreated A549 cells grown for 17 days in low-serum conditions making them essentially quiescent and dramatically reduced in cells treated with BMP4 for 17 days and expressing the senescence biomarker SA-β-gal.


Regulatory relationship

Target gene: PERK//VEGF//BCL2
Official symbol(s): EIF2AK3//VEGFA//BCL2
R-AG-Target gene: Downregulation//Downregulation//Downregulation
Subcategory: Unclear
Target gene experiment: Western blot
Target gene description: A decrease in proliferative and angiogenic phenotypic markers compared with untreated cells cultured under parallel low serum conditions, as shown by decreased p-ERK and VEGF expression, respectively.The expression of survival factor Bcl2 is lower in BMP4-treated cells, suggesting an increased potential for apoptosis in the senescent population.
