Cell autonomous and systemic factors in progeria development

TL;DR: In this paper, a regulatory pathway involving miR-29 and p53 tumour suppressor was described for progeria development in mice, and it was shown that pharmacological restoration of the somatotroph axis in these mice delayed the onset of their progeroid features, significantly extending their lifespan and supporting the importance of systemic alterations in progeria progression.

Growth Inhibition of Human Breast Cancer Cells by 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 Is Accompanied by Induction of Apolipoprotein D Expression

TL;DR: 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is proposed as an important regulator of the expression of the apoD gene in breast carcinomas and may be of interest as a biochemical marker of the action of these compounds as inhibitors of breast cancer cell growth or as chemotherapeutic agents in the prevention of breast cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Methionine restriction for improving progeria: another autophagy-inducing anti-aging strategy?

TL;DR: It is speculated that autophagy might constitute an actionable therapeutic target to treat progeroid syndromes because it extends lifespan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae in an Atg5- and Atg7-dependent fashion, supporting the notion that methionine restriction may indeed mediate its antiaging effects through the induction of macroautophagy/autophagic flux.
Journal ArticleDOI

The nutraceutical flavonoid luteolin inhibits ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-5 aggrecanase activities.

TL;DR: Results suggest that luteolin could be employed as a prototypic modifying disease-agent to create new chondroprotective compounds aimed to specifically block the unwanted aggrecanase activities in arthritic diseases.
