Aging Overview

Aging gene

Gene name: IGF1
Aging type: Prevent
Aging characteristic:
Tissue type: --
Cell name: Aortic endothelial cell
Gene ID: 3479
Category: protein coding
Phenotype: Atherosclerosis
Experimental category: L
PMID: 23261989
Experiment: SA-β-gal activity assay
Description: Incubation with 100 ng/mL IGF-1 for 24 h prior to hydrogen peroxide exposure significantly reduced expression of β-galactosidase activity, indicating that the enhanced antioxidant activity in response to IGF-1 counteracted oxidative stress induced premature cell senescence.


Regulatory relationship

Target gene: GPX1
Official symbol(s): GPX1
R-AG-Target gene: Upregulation
Subcategory: Unclear
Target gene experiment: Western blot//Enzyme activity assay//Immunostaining
Target gene description: Conversely,glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activity was upregulated in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.We further assessed GPX1 and GPX4 expressions by Western blot analysis. IGF-1 upregulated GPX1 (2.6-fold increase, 100 ng/mL IGF-1 vs 0 ng/mL IGF-1).Pre-exposure to IGF-1 dose-dependently suppressed ROS levels in both basal and oxidized LDL-stimulated cells. IGF-1's antioxidant effect was also time-dependent, since the ROS suppression by IGF-1 was more pronounced after 24 h exposure than at 1 h.

Regulatory pathway: PI3K
R-AG-Pathway: --
Official symbol(s): PIK3CA
Pathway experiment: Western blot//GPX activity assay
Pathway description: The phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (PI3k) inhibitor, LY294002, significantly suppressed IGF-1 upregulation of GPX1. IGF-1 upregulation of GPX activity was also significantly suppressed by LY294002 but not by PD98059 or SB202190, confirming that IGF-1 regulation of GPX was PI3k dependent.
