Shelterin Telomere Protection Protein 1 Reduction Causes Telomere Attrition and Cellular Senescence via Sirtuin 1 Deacetylase in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
25 Aug 2016
Abstract excerpt
Lung cellular senescence and inflammatory response are the key events in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) when cigarette smoke (CS) is the main etiological factor. Telomere dysfunction is induced by either critical shortening or disruption of the shelterin complex, leading to cellular senescence. However, it remains unknown whether disruption of the shelterin complex is responsible...
