Computational Drug Screening Identifies Compounds Targeting Renal Age-associated Molecular Profiles.

ABSTRACT: Aging is a major driver for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the counterbalancing of aging processes holds promise to positively impact disease development and progression. In this study we generated a signature of renal age-associated genes (RAAGs) based on six different data sources including transcriptomics data as well as data extracted from scientific literature and dedicated databases. Protein abundance in renal tissue of the 634 identified RAAGs was studied next to the analysis of affected molecular pathways. RAAG expression profiles were furthermore analysed in a cohort of 63 CKD patients with available follow-up data to determine association with CKD progression. 23 RAAGs were identified showing concordant regulation in renal aging and CKD progression. This set was used as input t
