Journal ArticleDOI
Sirt1 promotes fat mobilization in white adipocytes by repressing PPAR-gamma.
Frederic Picard,Martin Kurtev,Namjin Chung,Acharawan Topark-Ngarm,Thanaset Senawong,Rita Machado de Oliveira,Rita Machado de Oliveira,Mark Leid,Michael W. McBurney,Leonard Guarente +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the mammalian SIR2 orthologue, Sirt1 (sirtuin 1), activates a critical component of calorie restriction in mammals; that is, fat mobilization in white adipocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superoxide dismutase 1 knock-down induces senescence in human fibroblasts.
Gil Blander,Rita Machado de Oliveira,Rita Machado de Oliveira,Caitlin M. Conboy,Marcia C. Haigis,Leonard Guarente +5 more
TL;DR: The notion that in normal human cells the SOD1 protein may play a role in the regulation of cellular lifespan by p53 and may also regulate the death signals in cancer cells is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Klotho RNAi induces premature senescence of human cells via a p53/p21 dependent pathway.
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that Klotho normally regulates cellular senescence by repressing the p53/p21 pathway, and implicate KlothO as a regulator of aging in primary human fibroblasts.
