Ontology of aging and death

3 recomendaciones•1,481 vistas
The idea underlying biomedical ontology is that, if common terms are used to annotate or tag heterogeneous data collected by scientists working in different disciplines, then these data will be more easily reused for integration and analysis. To this end, the terms in ontologies need to be carefully defined. Smith examines definitions of terms central to ageing research in this light, focusing on the Gene Ontology (GO), the Foundational Model of Anatomy Ontology (FMA) and the Plant Ontology (PO).

In the life cycle of plants we have alternating generations: gametophyte = whole plant in haploid stage; male and female gametes fuse to produce the zygote from which the sporophyte arises sporophyte = whole plant in diploid stage (the dominant form in vascular plants such as ferns); produces spores from which the gametophyte arises. whole plant development stage PO:0007033 gametophyte development stage PO:0028003 sporophyte development stage PO:0028002 life of whole plant PO:0025337 PP 39

- 47. GO:0010259: multicellular organismal aging Definition: An aging process that has as participant a whole multicellular organism. Multicellular organism aging includes loss of functions such as resistance to disease, homeostasis, and fertility, as well as wear and tear. Multicellular organisms aging includes processes like cellular senescence and organ senescence, but is more inclusive. 47
- 48. GO:0007568: aging Definition: A developmental process that is a deterioration and loss of function over time. Aging includes loss of functions such as resistance to disease, homeostasis, and fertility, as well as wear and tear. Aging includes cellular senescence, but is more inclusive. May precede death (GO:0016265) and may succeed developmental maturation (GO:0021700). 48 GO requires a term for developmental aging

- 53. 53 honour of Dr. Leonard Hayflick, co-author with Paul Moorhead, of the first paper describing it in 1961. Cells can also be induced to senesce by certain toxins, irradiation, or the activation of certain oncogenes. In response to DNA damage (including shortened telomeres), cells either age or self-destruct (apoptosis, programmed cell death) if the damage cannot be easily repaired. In this 'cellular suicide', the death of one cell, or more, may benefit the organism as a whole. For example, in plants the death of the water- conducting xylem cells (tracheids and vessel elements) allows the cells to function more efficiently and so deliver water to the upper parts of a plant. The ones that do not self-destruct remain until destroyed by outside forces. Though they no longer replicate, senescent cells remain metabolically active and generally adopt phenotypes including flattened cell morphology, altered gene expression and secretion profiles (known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype) and positive senescence
- 54. 54 The End: Senescence and Cell Death (With Yuan Zhong and Jared Taylor) - Plants, like animals, employ cell death as a normal and necessary part of life. Cell death occurs during developmental processes, including embryo and leaf development, vascular tissue development, and various reproductive processes. Pathogen infection can initiate the hypersensitive response which can include a rapid cell
