Adipogenesis is intricately linked to the onset and progression of muscle aging; however, relevant biomarkers remain unclear. This study sought identify key genes associated with adipogenesis in context aging. Firstly, gene expression profiles from biopsies vastus lateralis both young elderly population were retrieved GEO database. After intersecting results differential analysis, weighted co-expression network sets adipogenesis-related genes, 29 expressed (ARDEGs) selected. Connectivity Map (cMAP) analysis identified tamsulosin, fraxidin, alaproclate as target compounds. In further, using three machine learning algorithms friends four hub ARDEGs, ESRRA, RXRG, GADD45A, CEBPB verified vivo aged mice muscles. Immune infiltration showed a strong link between several immune cells ARDEGs. all, these findings suggested that could serve related

Senescence of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) induced by chronic oxidative stress is an important factor contributes to the postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP). Mitochondrial quality control takes a pivotal role in regulating and cell senescence. Genistein major isoflavone soy products, which best known for its ability inhibit loss both women ovariectomized (OVX) rodents. Here we show that OVX-BMMSCs displayed premature senescence, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) level mitochondria dysfunction, while genistein rescued these phenotypes. Using network pharmacology molecular docking, identified estrogen-related receptor α (ERRα) as potential target genistein. Knockdown ERRα greatly abolished anti-senescence effect on OVX-BMMSCs. Further, mitochondrial biogenesis mitophagy were inhibited knockdown In vivo, trabecular p16INK4a expression, upregulated sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) peroxisome proliferator-activated gamma coactivator one alpha (PGC1α) expression area proximal tibia OVX rats. Together, this study revealed ameliorates senescence through ERRα-mediated mitophagy, provided basis advancement development therapeutic strategies against PMOP.

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson Huntington amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and frontotemporal dementia, are well known to pose formidable challenges for their treatment due intricate pathogenesis substantial variability among patients, including differences in environmental exposures genetic predispositions. One of the defining characteristics NDs is widely reported be buildup misfolded proteins. For example, disease marked by amyloid beta hyperphosphorylated Tau aggregates, whereas exhibits α-synuclein aggregates. Amyotrophic sclerosis dementia exhibit TAR DNA-binding protein 43, superoxide dismutase 1, fused-in sarcoma involves mutant huntingtin polyglutamine These proteins key biomarkers also serve potential therapeutic targets, they can addressed through autophagy, a process that removes excess cellular inclusions maintain homeostasis. Various forms macroautophagy, chaperone-mediated microautophagy, hold promise eliminating toxic implicated NDs.
