摘要

A better understanding of the molecular effects of aging in the brain may help to reveal important aspects of organismal aging, as well as processes that lead to age-related brain dysfunction. In this study, we have examined differences in gene expression in the hypothalamus and cortex of young and aged mice by using high-density oligonucleotide arrays. A number of key genes in- volved in neuronal structure and signaling are differentially ex- pressed in both the aged hypothalamus and cortex, including synaptotagmin Ⅰ. cAMP-dependent protein kinase C p. apolipopro- tein E, protein phosphatase 2A, and prostaglandin D. Misregula- tion of these proteins may contribute to age-related memory deficits and neurodegenerative diseases. In addition, many pro- teases that play essential roles in regulating neuropeptide metab- olism, amyloid precursor protein processing, and neuronal apo- ptosis are up-regulated in the aged brain and likely contribute significantly to brain aging. Finally, a subset of these genes whose expression is affected by aging are oppositely affected by expo- sure of mice to an enriched environment, suggesting that these genes may play important roles in learning and memory.
