Autophagy controls mesenchymal stem cell properties and senescence during bone aging
6 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) exhibit degenerative changes, including imbalanced differentiation and reduced proliferation during aging, that contribute to age-related bone loss. We demonstrate here that autophagy is significantly reduced in aged BMMSCs compared with young BMMSCs. The autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA) could turn young BMMSCs into a relatively aged state by reducing...
