p16 and ARF: activation of teenage proteins in old age

Ande Satyanarayana et al. J Clin Invest. 2004 Nov.

Abstract

Cellular senescence induced by different stresses and telomere shortening appears to play an important role in the aging process. The products of the INK4a/ARF locus--p16INK4a and ARF--arrest cell proliferation at the senescence stage by exerting their effects on retinoblastoma protein- and p53-mediated responsive pathways VSports手机版. A study in this issue of the JCI provides experimental evidence of a specific upregulation of these cell cycle inhibitors in a variety of organs during mammalian aging. .

Illustration showing possible mechanisms of p16INK4a and ARF induction and the role of these proteins in aging. The accumulation of persistent and increasing DNA damage in senescent cells in response to telomere shortening, DNA damage, inappropriate activation of signaling pathways, and production of ROS during aging results in transcriptional activation of the INK4a/ARF locus. Mitogen stimulation may amplify the signals of DNA damage. Alternative stochastic mechanisms of aging that lead to p16INK4a/ARF induction might also exist. Upregulation of p16INK4a and ARF activates pRB and p53 pathways, which in turn lead to cell cycle arrest and regenerative defects. In addition, p16INK4a/ARF upregulation might influence cellular functions in mitotically inactive organs during aging.
