Figure 2. Identification of Hepatic Sirt1-Dependent Aging-Related Genes.

Figure 2

(a) Venn diagram illustrates the number of aging-related genes generated from comparison between WT mice at different ages. Livers from 3 individual mice were used for microarray analysis for each set of samples. Gene expression from WT mice at 3, 12, and 19 months (Mon) of age were compared. Genes within the intersection of the 2 circles were defined as hepatic aging-related genes. (b) Venn diagram illustrates the number of Sirt1-dependent aging-related genes. Livers from 3 individual mice were used for microarray analysis for each set of samples. Gene expression from WT and MT mice at 3 months (Mon) of age was compared with each other, as well as with aging-related genes identified in (a). Genes within the intersection of the 2 circles were defined as Sirt1-dependent aging-related genes. (c,d) Representative validation results using qRT-PCR of up-regulated (c) and down-regulated (d) Sirt1-dependent aging-related genes. The level of gene expression for 3-month-old WT mice was set as 1. Data represent the mean ± SD (n = 3). *p < 0.05 when compared with WT 3-month-old samples.
