Aging Overview

External factors

External factors: A2E
Aging type: Accelerate
Aging characteristic:
Category: Chemical compounds
Phenotype: Age-related macular degeneration
Experimental category: HL
Tissue type: --
Cell name: RPE
PMID: 29415988
Experiment: SA-β-gal activity assay//qRT-PCR
Description: Our results showed that A2E treatment triggered cellular senescence, an effect that was intensified by blue light;We measured telomere length (T/S ratio) using RT-qPCR and found that photosensitization of A2E induced significant telomere erosion, which could be decreased by NAC.


Regulatory relationship

Regulatory pathway: NF-κB
R-EF-Pathway: Activation
Official symbol(s): NFKB1
Pathway experiment: Gene Ontology assay
Pathway description: GO analysis of the upregulated genes also showed a significant enrichment (p <0.05) for 38 GO terms, including“positive regulation of NF-kappa B transcription factor activity”.These findings suggest that the NF-κB pathway is activated upon photosensitization of A2E in RPE cells.
