Aging by Telomere Loss Can Be ReversedBruno Bernardes de Jesus 1and Maria A.Blasco 1,*1Telomeresand Telomerase Group,Molecular Oncology Program,Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO),Melchor Ferna´ndez Almagro 3,Madrid E-28029,Spain*Correspondence:mblasco@cnio.es DOI 10.1016/j.stem.2010.12.013Recently in Nature ,Jaskelioff et al.(2010)demonstrated that multiple aging phenotypes in a mouse model of accelerated telomere loss can be reversed within 4weeks of reactivating telomerase.This raises the major question of whether physiological aging,likely caused by a combination of molecular defects,may also be reversible.Accumulation of short/damaged telo-meres with increasing age is considered one of the main sources of aging-associ-ated DNA damage responsible for the loss of regenerative potential in tissues and during systemic organismal aging (Harley et al.,1990;Flores et al.,2005).Mounting evidence suggests that telome-rase is a longevity gene that functions by counteracting telomere attrition.Thus,telomerase-deficient mice age prema-turely,and telomerase overexpression results in extended longevity in mice (Tomas-Loba et al.,2008).Moreover,human mutations in telomerase compo-nents produce premature adult stem cell dysfunction and decreased longevity (Mitchell et al.,1999).Previous work had shown that restora-tion of telomerase activity in mouse zygotes with critically short telomeres,owing to a deficiency in the telomerase RNA component (Terc),rescues critically short telomeres and chromosomal instability in the resulting mice (Samper et al.,2001).Restoration of telomerase activity in zygotes also pre-vented the wide range of degenerative pathologies that would otherwise appear in telomerase-deficient mice with critically short telomeres,including bone marrow apla-sia,intestinal atrophy,male germ line depletion,and adult stem cell dysfunction (Samper et al.,2001;Siegl-Cachedenier et al.,2007),and resulted in a normal organismal life-span (Siegl-Cachedenier et al.,2007).Together,all the above find-ings indicate that aging provoked by crit-ical telomere shortening can be prevented or delayed by telomerase reactivation.From these grounds,reversion of aging caused by telomere loss was the next frontier.A recent study in Nature takes an important step forward from these previous findings by using a new mouse model for telomerase deficiency,de-signed to permit telomerase reactivation in adult mice after telomere-induced aging phenotypes have been established (Jas-kelioff et al.,2010).Specifically,DePinho and colleagues generated a knockin allele encoding a 4-OH tamoxifen (4-OHT)-inducible mouse telomerase (TERT-ER)under the control of the TERT endogenous promoter.In the absence of tamoxifen,these mice exhibit premature appearance of aging pathologies and reduction in survival (Figure 1).These mice phenocopy previously described Terc -deficient mice,which highlights that elongation of short telomeres by telomerase is the main mechanism by which telomerase protects from aging pathologies.Importantly,4weeks of tamoxifen treatment to induce TERT re-expression in adult TERT-ER mice with clear signs of premature aging was sufficient to extend their telomeres and rescue telomeric DNA damage signaling and associated check-point responses.Dramatically,tamox-ifen-induced TERT re-expression also led to resumption of proliferation in quies-cent cultured cells and eliminated the degenerative phenotypes across multiple organs,including testis,spleen,and intes-tines (Figure 1).Reactivation of telome-rase also ameliorated the decreased survival of TERT-ER mice.These findings represent an important advance in the aging field,as they show that aging induced by telomere loss can be reversed in a broad range of tissues and cell types,including neuronal function.Looking to the future,the next key question is to whatextent natural,physiological aging is caused by the pres-ence of critically short telo-meres and,consequently,to what extent telomere restora-tion will be able to reverse physiological aging.In this re-gard,other recent findings support the idea that telomere shortening does impactnatural mouse aging.On onehand,despite the long-standing belief that mouseaging was not linked to telo-mere shortening giventhat Figure 1.Antiaging Effects of Telomerase Schematic showing the major findings of Jaskelioff et al.(2010).Telomerasereactivation in late generation telomerase-deficient mice (G4TERT-ER )couldrevert some of the aging phenotypes observed,demonstrating the regenera-tive potential capacity of different tissues.Cell Stem Cell 8,January 7,2011ª2011Elsevier Inc.3Cell Stem CellPreviewsmice are born with very long telomeres—much longer than human telomeres—mouse telomeres do suffer extensive shortening associated with aging(Flores et al.,2008).In particular,while mouse cells maintain relatively long telomeres during theirfirst year of life,there is a dramatic loss of telomeric sequences at2years of age,even in various stem cell populations, and this change is concomitant with the loss of regenerative capacity associated with mouse aging.In addition,telome-rase-deficient mice from thefirst genera-tion(G1TercÀ/À)exhibit a significant decrease in median and maximum longevity and a higher incidence of age-related pathologies and stem cell dysfunc-tion compared with wild-type mice(Flores et al.,2005;Garcia-Cao et al.,2006),indi-cating that,as in humans,telomerase activity is rate limiting for natural mouse longevity and aging.These results suggest that strategies aimed to increase telome-rase activity may delay natural mouse aging.Further supporting this notion,it was recently shown that overexpression of TERT in the context of mice engineered to be cancer resistant owe to increase expression of tumor suppressor genes(Sp53/Sp16/SARF/TgTERT mice)wassufficient to decrease telomere damagewith age,delay aging,and increase medianlongevity by40%(Tomas-Loba et al.,2008).However,it remains to be seenwhether telomerase reactivation late in lifewould be sufficient to delay natural mouseaging and extend mouse longevity withoutincreasing cancer incidence.In summary,these proof-of-principlestudies using genetically modified miceare likely to encourage the developmentof targeted therapeutic strategies basedon reactivation of telomerase function.Indeed,small molecule telomerase acti-vators have been reported recently andhave demonstrated some preliminaryhealth-span beneficial effects in humans(Harley et al.,2010).Identifying drugabletargets and candidate activators clearlyopens a new window for the treatment ofage-associated degenerative diseases.REFERENCESFlores,I.,Cayuela,M.L.,and Blasco,M.A.(2005).Science309,1253–1256.Flores,I.,Canela,A.,Vera,E.,Tejera,A.,Cotsare-lis,G.,and

aging diseases,Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome(HGPS).These cells are a much-needed new tool to study HGPS,and their use may lead to novel insights into mechanisms of aging.Some problems in

testing is generally not feasible.One approach to dissect the molecular basis of human aging is to study naturally occurring premature aging disorders.One of the most dramatic and prominent of such

谈谈微生物与人类的关系英语作文高中
谈谈微生物与人类的关系英语作文高中Microorganisms and Human Beings: A Symbiotic RelationshipIntroductionMicroorganisms, commonly known as microbes, are microscopic organisms that play a vital role in the ecosystem and in the human body. They can be beneficial, harmful, or neutral to human health. In this essay, we will discuss the relationship between microorganisms and human beings, focusing on their symbiotic interactions.1. Benefits of Microorganisms to Human BeingsMicroorganisms are essential for the breakdown of organic matter, nutrient cycling, and soil fertility, which are crucial for agriculture. In the human body, they play a vital role in digestion, immune system function, and vitamin synthesis. For example, gut bacteria help with the digestion of food and the production of vitamins B and K. They also help in maintaining a healthy balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut, which is essential for overall health.2. Harmful Effects of Microorganisms on Human HealthWhile some microorganisms are beneficial, others can be harmful and cause diseases. Pathogenic microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can cause infections and illnesses in humans. Foodborne illnesses, respiratory infections, and sexually transmitted diseases are some examples of diseases caused by microorganisms. It is essential to practice good hygiene, proper food handling, and vaccination to prevent the spread of these diseases.3. The Human MicrobiomeThe human microbiome refers to the collection of microorganisms that inhabit the human body. These microbes reside in various parts of the body, such as the skin, mouth, gut, and reproductive organs. The microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining human health and wellbeing. It helps in digestion, nutrient absorption, immune system regulation, and protection against harmful pathogens. Disruption of the microbiome can lead to various health problems, such as autoimmune diseases, allergies, and obesity.4. Impact of Microorganisms on Human EvolutionMicroorganisms have shaped human evolution in many ways. They have influenced the development of the immune system, digestive system, and brain function. The co-evolution ofhumans and microbes has led to the establishment of a mutually beneficial relationship. For example, the gut microbiota helps in the digestion of complex carbohydrates, which have been a significant source of energy throughout human evolution. Understanding the role of microorganisms in human evolution can provide insights into the prevention and treatment of modern diseases.5. Future PerspectivesAs the field of microbiology advances, scientists are discovering new ways in which microorganisms can benefit human health. Probiotics, prebiotics, and microbial therapy are some of the emerging technologies that are being used to manipulate the microbiome for therapeutic purposes. Microbial engineering and synthetic biology are also being explored for the development of new antimicrobial agents, vaccines, and biofuels. The study of microorganisms has the potential to revolutionize healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability in the future.ConclusionIn conclusion, the relationship between microorganisms and human beings is complex and multifaceted. While some microbes are beneficial and essential for human health, otherscan be harmful and cause diseases. Understanding the interactions between humans and microbes is crucial for maintaining a healthy balance and preventing diseases. As we continue to explore the role of microorganisms in human health and evolution, we can harness their potential for improving human wellbeing and sustainability.。

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry Particular attention will be paid to testing protocols involving phenotypic screening and model organisms. These enable the discovery of active molecules both from lead structures with defined pharmacology and by high-throughput screening of large compound libraries. The modification of these active compounds by conventional medicinal chemistry techniques to maximize the potency and selectivity of candidate compounds will be discussed and, where appropriate, the leading “proof-ofprinciple” compounds presented. While there have been many examples of drug approvals from phenotypic screening campaigns, there can be challenges in translating candidate compounds to the clinic where the molecular target, or off-target effects, may be unknown. It is clear from the multiple studies described that the detailed investigation of the mechanisms of action of these compounds will produce valuable information on the critical signaling pathways in the cells and present further targets for drug discovery; examples of these will be discussed. More detailed investigations of the pharmacological actions of significant compounds in a wide range of cell and tissue types may be used to give a detailed picture of their overall biological activity, tissue specificity, and safety profile before the undertaking of clinical studies. Thus, through the use of key examples, this perspective will pay particular attention to: (a) documenting what is already known about molecules acting on these cell systems; (b) reviewing the state of the art for initial screening protocols which have the potential to be used to discover active compounds by both traditional and high-throughput assays; (c) describing the more detailed studies necessary on key compounds before human use could be envisaged; (d) describing such compounds which have been used in the clinic. The concept of stimulating stem cells in situ is an emerging approach in regenerative medicine, and a few examples of candidate drugs operating through this mechanism have been reported and reviewed.4,5 Recently Hoffman and Metternich have used the term “molecular organ repair”6 to describe the processes whereby small molecules are able to trigger cellular self-renewal mechanisms or celomatic stem cells. Further, Poss has discussed tissue regeneration and pointed out that many mammalian tissues, including cardiac muscle, spinal cord, and the major appendages, appear to have very little regenerative capacity.7 He also pointed out that stem cells are not always involved even in the well-established regenerative processes. Indeed, the example par excellence of limb regeneration, namely the salamander, appears to use predominantly a process of dedifferentiation rather than stem cell differentiation. Further, in the mammalian heart, multiple potential candidate cell types have been identified. However, there appears to be more promise in targeting resident progenitor cells of developmental origin which contribute multiple cell types to the developing heart for cardiac regeneration as opposed to the rare adult-only resident cardiac “stem cells”.8 While the objective of these studies is obviously to find in vivo active molecules and several pioneering examples have been described in recent years, the majority of the work disclosed to date has come from in vitro studies. Nonetheless, these systems represent useful in vitro models and selected examples will be discussed in this context. The comparatively
微卫星单碱基的英语
微卫星单碱基的英语英文回答:Microsatellites are short, repetitive sequences of DNA that are composed of a single nucleotide, such as A, C, G, or T. These sequences are found throughout the genome and are often located in non-coding regions. Microsatellites are highly polymorphic, meaning that they vary in length between individuals. This polymorphism makes them usefulfor a variety of genetic applications, such as population genetics, forensic science, and paternity testing.The most common type of microsatellite is the dinucleotide repeat, which consists of two nucleotides repeated in tandem. Dinucleotide repeats are typically named after the two nucleotides that they are composed of, such as AC, AG, or AT. Other types of microsatellites include trinucleotide repeats, tetranucleotide repeats, and pentanucleotide repeats.Microsatellites are thought to arise through a process called replication slippage. This process occurs when DNA polymerase pauses during replication and repeats the same nucleotide several times. Microsatellites can also be created or lengthened through a process called unequal crossing-over. This process occurs when two homologous chromosomes misalign during meiosis and exchange genetic material.Microsatellites are highly polymorphic because they are prone to mutations. These mutations can occur through a variety of mechanisms, including replication slippage, unequal crossing-over, and gene conversion. Microsatellite mutations can have a number of different effects, including changes in gene expression, changes in protein structure, and changes in disease susceptibility.Microsatellites are a valuable tool for a variety of genetic applications. They are used in population genetics to study the genetic diversity of populations and to track the flow of genes between populations. Microsatellites are also used in forensic science to identify individuals andto link suspects to crime scenes. Microsatellites are also used in paternity testing to determine the biologicalfather of a child.中文回答:微卫星是长度较短的重复性 DNA 序列,由单个核苷酸组成,如A、C、G 或 T。

小分子RNA大新闻
小分子RNA:大新闻05年1月10日。
到理查德特怀曼是基因的人类基因组中唯一有趣的位?蛋白质编码基因有hogged我们的注意,但现在微小RNA是那里的行动。
科学家研究人类基因组编码蛋白质的基因,始终专注于。
这是因为几乎每一个可以想象的生物过程所需的蛋白质。
因此,我们常常认为作为一种人性化“组件列表”的基因组。
事实上,蛋白质编码基因中的大多数,占超过99%的基因组中的已知基因。
首先,这些基因是转录或复制,产生类似序列的信使核糖核酸(mRNA),的mRNA,然后翻译成蛋白质。
但值得注意的是,,蛋白质编码只有1.5%,占人类基因组基因- ,但其余98.5%的DNA的百分之不仅仅是垃圾。
在这当中,有进一步的基因被复制成RNA,但不打算制造蛋白质。
这个小队伍产生所谓的非编码RNA,它们代表约1%%的已知的人类基因,但更多的是迅速找到。
许多这些RNA分子已了解了一段时间,如核糖体RNA(rRNA基因)和转运RNA(tRNA)分子(见“新的RNA世界”框)。
最近,它已经很清楚,静静地潜伏在基因组中产生小得多的非编码RNA的基因。
小分子RNA的基因数量是未知的,但数百人被发现在过去两年中,在人类基因组的最终数量可能运行到数千。

利用化学小分子实现人胚胎干细胞多能性状态的转化
利用化学小分子实现人胚胎干细胞多能性状态的转化欧阳琦;杨青青;周晓樱;林戈;卢光琇;胡维新【摘要】小鼠胚胎干细胞(Embryonic Stem Cells,ESCs)具有两种不同的多能性状态-原始态多能性(naive pluripotency)和始发态多能性(primed pluripotency),这两种多能性干细胞在形态、自我更新维持条件、基因表达、表观遗传学特征以及单克隆形成率等方面都存在明显差别.传统条件下分离和培养的人胚胎干细胞(human Embryonic Stem Cells,hESCs)生物学特征更接近始发态多能性状态,需依赖转基因操作才能获得和维持原始态多能性状态.本研究通过在培养体系中添加化学小分子成功地将已建系的始发态多能性hESCs转化为原始态多能性干细胞,转化后hESCs呈紧密、圆形、隆起的三维克隆结构,具有两条活化的X染色体,单克隆形成率提高,基因表达更接近原始态多能性特征.结果提示hESCs也存在两种多能性状态,不同的体外培养环境可获得具备不同多能性特征的hESCs.原始态多能性状态的获得使hESCs在基因治疗、器官再生等领域具有广阔的应用前景,而仅改变培养条件,不依赖基因操作的培养方式大大提高了原始态多能性于细胞应用的安全性.【期刊名称】《激光生物学报》【年(卷),期】2014(023)004【总页数】7页(P319-325)【关键词】人胚胎干细胞;多能性;转化;化学小分子【作者】欧阳琦;杨青青;周晓樱;林戈;卢光琇;胡维新【作者单位】中南大学生命科学学院,湖南长沙410078;中南大学生殖与干细胞研究所,湖南长沙410078;中南大学生殖与干细胞研究所,湖南长沙410078;中南大学生殖与干细胞研究所,湖南长沙410078;中南大学生殖与干细胞研究所,湖南长沙410078;中南大学生殖与干细胞研究所,湖南长沙410078;中南大学生命科学学院,湖南长沙410078【正文语种】中文【中图分类】Q813.1小鼠胚胎干细胞依据其来源的发育阶段以及细胞的生物学特性可分为两类:一类是传统意义上的胚胎干细胞(mouse embryonic stem cells,mESCs),来源于植入前囊胚的内细胞团,处于原始多能性状态(naive)[1];一类是上胚层干细胞(mouse epiblast stem cells,mEpiSCs),来源于植入后胚胎的上胚层,处于始发态的多能性状态(Primed)[2]。
孟德尔生平介绍
遗传学名人小传(Great Geneticists)之孟德尔罗静初1822年7月22日,约翰•孟德尔(Johann Mendel)出生在奥地利莫拉维亚(Moravia)一个名叫海钦多夫(Heinzendorf)的村子里(现已划归捷克)。
孟德尔生于一个农民家庭,排行第二,是家中唯一的男孩。
小时候,孟德尔一直在果园里劳作,生活十分艰辛。
6岁时进了村里的小学,学习语文、数学等基础课程,以及养蜂、果树嫁接等实际操作。
孟德尔自幼勤奋好学、成绩突出。
父亲听从了老师的建议,让他继续上初中和高中。
由于家境贫寒,付不起学费,高中阶段的学习生活已经十分拮据。
高中毕业后,孟德尔打算进厄尔姆兹学院(Olmults)进行两年的大学预科学习。
不幸的是,由于他父亲健康状况不佳而无力供养他继续深造。
就在人生中最困难的时刻,孟德尔的妹妹变卖自己的嫁妆,资助他完成了学业。
这使他永生难忘,并且把感激化为学习的动力,学业一直名列前茅。
然而,家境的窘迫,难以圆他大学之梦。
孟德尔意识到,必须先要找到一份可以聊生的职业,才有可能继续深造。
他接受了老师的建议,于1843年9月进入布隆(Brunn,现名Brno)市的修道院当了一名修道士,Gregor是他的教名。
布隆是莫拉维亚省的首府,也是奥匈帝国工农业生产和经济中心。
修道院相当富足,拥有一个藏书20000册的图书馆,可和当时的大学图书馆媲美,也是当时全市宗教和文化中心。
教士们文化素质很高,不少牧师都有正式的园艺、音乐、哲学等学位。
在修道院,孟德尔进行了系统的宗教学习,成绩突出,仅用3年时间就完成了4年的学业。
学习结束,孟德尔被任命为教区教士,但他并不喜欢这一工作。
修道院院长也觉察出了孟德尔的喜好,特意安排他到本地一所高中担任临时性的教学工作。
出色的教学效果,使孟德尔很很快在学生中建立了声誉。
按规定,担任高中教师,通常需要大学学历并通过资格考试。
考虑到孟德尔的实际情况,评审委员会决定保留他的教师资格,并建议他到维也纳大学完成大学学业。
