External factors

External factors: Ergothioneine
Aging type: Prevent
Aging characteristic:
Category: Chemical compounds
Phenotype: Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Experimental category: L
Tissue type: --
Cell name: Endothelial cell
PMID: 27101740
Experiment: Cell morphological analysis
Description: The Egt treatment in the presence of hGluc (EgtthGluc) resulted in a morphological adjustment to the control cell-like small spindle shape.


Regulatory relationship

Regulatory pathway: SIRT1//SIRT6//NF-κB
R-EF-Pathway: Upregulation//Upregulation//Downregulation
Official symbol(s): SIRT1//SIRT6//NFKB1
Pathway experiment: Confocal microscopy//Immunofluorescence//Western blot
Pathway description: Specifically, SIRT1 arbitrary fluorescence units (AFU) were significantly decreased by 48 h treatment with hGluc whereas EgtthGluc cells showed a SIRT1 fluorescence intensity significantly higher than that observed in hGluc cells.These effects were blocked by Egt and, more in details, SIRT6 expression in EgtthGluc cells was 78.373.1 AFU vs 49.273.1 AFU in hGluc cells, whereas NF-κB expression was 48.971.8 AFU vs. 12473.3 AFU in hGluc cells . Moreover, a reduced SIRT6 downregulation and a reduced NF-κB upregulation were observed during hGluc treatment in the presence of Egt (EgtthGluc).
