Gene Ontology and pathway analyses revealed that both aging and CR altered the expression of key senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) genes, including cytokines and chemokines (Il1b, Ccl3, Ccl5, Il19, and Il24) and growth factors (Timp1 and Mmp12).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Renal aging is also associated with an increased expression of cell cycle arrest markers (p15INK4B (Cdkn2b), p16INK4A (Cdkn2a), and p21 (Cdkn1a)), which are suppressed by CR, suggesting a link to cellular senescence. Quantitative analysis of renal tissue samples confirmed the age-associated upregulation of these genes at the transcriptional level, and CR effectively attenuated these changes. Among these genes, we focused on the members of the interleukin 20 (IL-20) family, particularly Il19 and Il24.
