The protective association between dietary flavonoid intake and the risk of dementia has been the focus of yet another study; this one being published...
The chromosomes are our instruction manuals. They facilitate instructs on making every protein in the body, many of which are needed for life. Physically the chromosomes appear as “long necklaces of DNA, coiled and curled in the center of every cell in the body.” When it’s time to encode a gene, parts of the “necklace” open up and are loose, other parts “are coiled tightly or obscured by other sections of the chain.” When the chain is tightly coiled, it is more difficult “for the cell’s machinery to access the DNA in that section and [in turn to] activate the genes that DNA describes.” “New research by a team from UConn Health and the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine (JAX-GM) shows that our chromosomes age along with us, with some
sections of the chromosome curling and closing up, and making it harder to access DNA,” which may be critical in our defense against disease. What the authors observed is that “in young people, thousands of sites are open, seemingly ready to activate genes and make protein.” In “younger people there are genes and pathways that are very active, but these genes “appear to lose their activity in older adults.” Additionally, in younger people “the portions that are open and the portions that are closed look very different.” This study “determine[d] the regions of chromosomes and genes that lose their activity with aging.” In a “combined analyses of chromatin accessibility and the transcriptome [they] uncovered immune molecules activated/inactivated with aging.” They also “identified the silencing of the IL7R gene and the IL-7 signaling pathway genes as potential biomarkers.” “This signature is borne by memory CD8+ T cells.” It was observed that these cells “exhibited an aging-related loss in binding of NF-κB and STAT factors.” Thus, they “provide[d] a unique and comprehensive approach to identifying candidate biomarkers” as well as providing “mechanistic insights into aging-associated immunodeficiency.”
