Aging Overview

Aging gene

Gene name: GDF15
Aging type: Accelerate
Aging characteristic:
Tissue type: --
Cell name: Aortic endothelial cell
Gene ID: 9518
Category: protein coding
Phenotype: Atherosclerosis
Experimental category: HL
PMID: 26909594
Experiment: SA-β-gal activity assay
Description: Upregulation of GDF15 caused a decrease in cell proliferation and an increase in SA-β-gal staining compared with the control lentivirus-transduced cells.


Regulatory relationship

Target gene: ERK
Official symbol(s): ERK
R-AG-Target gene: Activation
Subcategory: Unclear
Target gene experiment: Western blot//Immunostaining
Target gene description: We noted that ERK phosphorylation was increased following the rhGDF15 protein treatment. In addition, IR-induced ERK activation was controlled by the downregulation of GDF15.ROS generation was increased in GDF15-tranduced cells compared to control virus-transduced cells.

Regulatory pathway: P16-RB
R-AG-Pathway: Upregulation
Pathway experiment: SA-β-gal activity assay//Cell counting//Knockdown//Western blot
Pathway description: On the contrary, the overexpression of GDF15 had no significant effects on cell proliferation in the p16 knockdown cells . The measurement of SA-β-gal activity indicated that p16 knockdown inhibited GDF15-induced cellular senescence, but p53 knockdown did not.Increased expression of GDF15 induced p16 expression and treatment with GDF15 recombinant protein increased p16 mRNA by approximately 2.5 fold. Both endogenous and exogenous GDF15 protein increased p16 protein and decreased the phosphorylation of Rb, which causes its detachment from E2F transcription factor.
