- Description
ATM is involved diverse aspects of cellular physiology including DNA repair and cell cycle control. It appears to activate DNA repair pathways in response to DNA damage [35]. Mutations in human ATM cause ataxia telangiectasia [190], an early-onset disease some argue is characterized by signs of premature ageing [238]. Patients display cerebellar atrophy and neurodegeneration.
In mouse and worm models that are ATM deficient replenishing intracellular NAD+ reduces the severity of neuropathy, normalizes neuromuscular function, delays memory loss, and extends lifespan [4365]. In mice, mutations in ATM in late-generation TERC mutants with short telomeres results in signs of premature ageing starting at about 6 months of age [12]. In mouse and human cells ATM is required for the recruitment of telomerase and inhibition of ATM leads to shortening of telomeres [4494][4495]. However, it has also been shown that inhibiting ATM attenuates senescence. Inhibiting ATM induces the functional recovery of the lysosome/autophagy system and accelerates the removal of dysfunctional mitochondria [4496]. Overall, it is possible ATM plays a role in human ageing and may link two major theories on ageing: DNA damage accumulation and mitochondrial dysfunction.
