Age-associated increases of transcript levels of several genes were studied using aged rat liver. Northern hybridization showed marked increases of c-jun, c-fos, and glutathione S-transferase P (GST-P) in 24-month-old rats. These genes have the 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-responsive element called TRE in their structures. Thus, TRE seems to be involved in important age-associated changes of gene expression.
利用老年大鼠肝脏研究了几种基因转录水平与年龄相关的增加情况。Northern杂交显示,24月龄大鼠的c-jun、c-fos和谷胱甘肽S-转移酶P(GST-P)显著增加。这些基因在其结构中具有称为TRE的12-O-十四烷酰佛波醇-13-乙酸酯(TPA)反应元件。因此,TRE似乎参与了与年龄相关的重要基因表达变化。
