cGAS deficient mice display premature aging associated with de-repression of LINE1 elements and inflammation
2024-10-11
Abstract excerpt
Aging-associated inflammation, or ‘inflammaging” is a driver of multiple age-associated diseases. Cyclic GMP-AMP Synthase (cGAS) is a cytosolic DNA sensor that functions to activate interferon response upon detecting viral DNA in the cytoplasm. cGAS contributes to inflammaging by responding to endogenous signals such as damaged DNA or LINE1 (L1) cDNA which forms in aged cells. While cGAS knockout mice are viable t...
