External factors: | A2E |
Aging type: | Accelerate |
Aging characteristic: |
Category: | Chemical compounds |
Phenotype: | Age-related macular degeneration |
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 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. |
