TLDR
This review focuses on the generation of and defence against protein carbonyls and speculates on the potential role of carbonylation in protein quality control, cellular deterioration, and senescence.
Abstract
Proteins can become modified by a large number of reactions involving reactive oxygen species. Among these reactions, carbonylation has attracted a great deal of attention due to its irreversible and unrepairable nature. Carbonylated proteins are marked for proteolysis by the proteasome and the Lon protease but can escape degradation and form high-molecular-weight aggregates that accumulate with age. Such carbonylated aggregates can become cytotoxic and have been associated with a large number of age-related disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and cancer. This review focuses on the generation of and defence against protein carbonyls and speculates on the potential role of carbonylation in protein quality control, cellular deterioration, and senescence.

Reactive oxygen species have a causal role in multiple forms of insulin resistance.

TL;DR: A genomic analysis of two cellular models of insulin resistance, one induced by treatment with the cytokine tumour-necrosis factor-α and the other with the glucocorticoid dexamethasone, suggests that reactive oxygen species levels are increased in both models, and increased ROS levels are an important trigger for insulin resistance in numerous settings.

A role for the NAD-dependent deacetylase Sirt1 in the regulation of autophagy

TL;DR: The results suggest that the Sirt1 deacetylase is an important in vivo regulator of autophagy and provide a link between sirtuin function and the overall cellular response to limited nutrients.

Suppression of Oxidative Stress by β-Hydroxybutyrate, an Endogenous Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor

TL;DR: It is reported that the ketone body d-β-hydroxybutyrate (βOHB) is an endogenous and specific inhibitor of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs), and treatment of mice with βOHB conferred substantial protection against oxidative stress.

Ionizing radiation-induced metabolic oxidative stress and prolonged cell injury

TL;DR: The role of mitochondria in the delayed outcomes of ionization radiation is discussed, and different types of radiation vary in their linear energy transfer (LET) properties, and their effects on various aspects of mitochondrial physiology are discussed.

Oxidative Stress, Caloric Restriction, and Aging

TL;DR: Support for this hypothesis includes the following observations: (i) Overexpression of antioxidative enzymes retards the age-related accrual of oxidative damage and extends the maximum life-span of transgenic Drosophila melanogaster and (ii) Variations in longevity among different species inversely correlate with the rates of mitochondrial generation of the superoxide anion radical and hydrogen peroxide.

Protein oxidation and aging

TL;DR: The importance of protein oxidation in aging is supported by the observation that levels of oxidized proteins increase with animal age and may reflect age-related increases in rates of ROS generation, decreases in antioxidant activities, or losses in the capacity to degrade oxidized protein.

Increased dosage of a sir-2 gene extends lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans

TL;DR: In this paper, the lifespan of C. elegans strains containing duplications of chromosomal regions was surveyed and it was shown that a duplication containing sir-2.1-the SIR2 gene most homologous to yeast-confers a lifespan that is extended by up to 50%.

Extrachromosomal rDNA circles--a cause of aging in yeast.

TL;DR: It is shown that nucleolar changes in aging yeast mother cells are likely due to the accumulation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles (ERCs) in old cells and that, in fact, ERCs cause aging.
