Aging and Genome Maintenance: Lessons from the Mouse?

Hasty, Paul, Campisi, Judith, Hoeijmakers, Jan, van Steeg, Harry, Vijg, Jan·2003·Science

Abstract

Recent progress in the science of aging is driven largely by the use of model systems, ranging from yeast and nematodes to mice. These models have revealed conservation in genetic pathways that balance energy production and its damaging by-products with pathways that preserve somatic maintenance. Maintaining genome integrity has emerged as a major factor in longevity and cell viability. Here we discuss the use of mouse models with defects in genome maintenance for understanding the molecular basis of aging in humans.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Genes that help maintain genomic integrity also prevent or retard the development of other aging phenotypes and age-related pathologies.

    “In addition to preventing cancer, genes that help maintain genomic integrity also prevent or retard the development of other aging phenotypes and age-related pathologies (Hasty et al., 2003).”
  • Many kinds of oncogenic or stressful stimuli can induce a senescence response, foremost certain types of DNA damage including DNA breaks and oxidative lesions.

    “It is now apparent that many kinds of oncogenic or stressful stimuli can induce a senescence response. Foremost among these are certain types of DNA damage, including DNA breaks and oxidative lesions caused by environmental insults, genetic defects, or endogenous processes (DiLeonardo et al., 1994; Hasty et al., 2003; Samper et al., 2003).”
  • Mutations in genes involved in BER do not produce aging manifestations: they are either lethal or confer no obvious phenotypes.

    “mutations in genes involved in this pathway do not produce aging manifestations: they are either lethal or confer no obvious phenotypes (Hasty et al., 2003”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
