Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to the regulation or control of genes previously linked to ageing
Description

HIC1 is a transcriptional repressor. It suppresses age-dependent development of cancer in mice together with TP53. HIC1 also forms a complex with SIRT1 that represses SIRT1 expression. Ageing increases promoter hypermethylation and epigenetic silencing of HIC1 [1582]. Therefore, HIC1 might play some role in ageing, though further studies are warranted.
