A novel model of senile lung: senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM).

Abstract: Senescence-accelerated mouse (SAM) has been characterized as a unique animal model to investigate spontaneous aging as well as age-related disorders. However, little is known about the properties of the lung. We examined age-related morphologic and functional changes of the lung in SAM P2, as the senescence-prone strain, and in SAM R1, as the senescence-resistant strain. On morphologic examination, the earlier (starting at 6 mo) and more severe change in airspace size (mean linear intercept: MLI) was observed … Show more

“…The AKR/J strain is relatively short-lived compared with other inbred strains (Teramoto et al, 1994). The mean life span for the AKR/J strain in our facilities is 319 ± 14 days with a range between 197 and 548 days (Tankersley et al, 2003).…”

“…Como consecuencia de ello se produce una disminución de la relación ventilación/perfusión (V'/Q') y de los flujos espiratorios. Es interesante señalar que en la cepa de ratones SAM P2 que sufren un envejecimiento acelerado, se ha encontrado que la curva presión-volumen de los pulmones aislados se desplaza hacia la izquierda en relación a los controles y aumenta significativamente la constante experimental "k" que describe la forma de la curva presión-volumen de los pulmones aislados 6 . b) Disminución de la distensibilidad del tórax.…”

“…Indeed, lungs of aged rodents show similar "senile" changes when compared with lungs of young animals [35]. However, premature ageing in mouse models does not always recapitulate senile emphysema: senescence-accelerated mice (SAM), Klotho-, and senescence-marker protein-30 deficient mice show air space enlargement without airway wall destruction [36][37][38][39]. In contrast, no functional and structural changes in the lungs were observed in prematurely aged telomerase RNA knock-out mice [40].…”
