DNA damage response

downin mice1

1 study
  1. PNPLA2 prevents DNA damage response in mice (increased by 50%).

    “The number of P-γ-H2AX-positive RPE cells increased by 50%, suggesting increased DNA damage.”

Cellular senescence

downin mice1

1 study
  1. PNPLA2 inhibits cellular senescence in mice.

    “Pnpla2-/- RPE exhibited increased SA-β-gal activity, multinucleation of the population, and the translocation of HMGB1 from nucleus to cytoplasm, indicative of cellular senescence.”
