“…In contrast to these unique expression events, 12 proteins were significantly altered across all five RXFP3 expression levels (Supplementary Figure 3: PRR14L, SCYL1, CCDC9, NEK7, HIST1H3A, ATPIF1, CDCA2, PAGR1, POTEKP, MTMR1, ZCCHC3, MEPCE). Many of these commonly regulated proteins are known to be associated with energy balance regulation (PRR14L [40]), inflammaging (NEK7 [41]; ATPIF1 [42]), aging associated DNA damage (SCYL1 [43]; CCDC9 [44]; HIST1H3A [45]; ATPIF1 [46]; PAGR1 [47]; ZCCHC3 [48]) or cell senescence (CDCA2 [49]). As such it appears that in addition to expression level effects, a core functionality of the RXFP3 was also evident, which was tightly linked to age-related pathologies.…”
