Expression profiling of aging liver in low-fat diet mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dietary interventions are effective ways to extend or shorten lifespan. By examining midlife hepatic gene expressions in mice under different dietary conditions, which resulted in different lifespans and aging-related phenotypes, we were able to identify genes and pathways that modulate the aging process. To determine how our dietary intervention-based transcriptomic approach for predicting aging-regulatory genes compares to more traditional approach of using age-dependent transcriptional changes, we examined the hepatic gene expression changes in LF-fed mice during aging at 4, 8, 13 and 21 months. Male C57BL/6J mice at 4 weeks of age were purchased from Shanghai Animal Co, Ltd. Mice were maintained under a 12-hour dark/light cycle (lights on at 6:30 am) at a temperature of 22 ± 3 °C in accredited animal facilities. Prior to the start of experiment, mice were maintained on a low-fat diet (Research Diets Inc., New Brunswick, NJ) for one week. Liver RNAs extracted from six male C57BL/6J mice of the same age were pooled at each age point to obtain an average microarray profile at 4, 8, 13 and 21 months.
