Accumulating evidence suggests that developmentally regulated GTP-binding protein 2 (DRG2), an evolutionarily conserved GTP-binding protein, plays an important role in regulating cell growth, inflammation, and mitochondria dynamics. However, the effect of DRG2 in aging remains unclear. In this study, we found that endogenous DRG2 protein expression is upregulated in oxidative stress-induced premature senescence models and tissues of aged mice. Ectopic expression of DRG2 significantly promoted senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal) activity and inhibited cell growth, concomitant with increase in levels of acetyl (ac)-p53 (Lys382), ac-nuclear factor-kB (NF-κB) p65 (Lys310), p21Waf1/Cip1, and p16Ink4a and a decrease in cyclin D1. In this process, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and phosphorylation of H2A histone family member X (H2A.X), forming γ-H2A.X, were enhanced. Mechanistically, ectopic expression of DRG2 downregulated Sirtuin-1 (SIRT1), resulting in augmented acetylation of p53 and NF-κB p65. Additionally, DRG2 knockdown significantly abolished oxidative stress-induced premature senescence. Our results provide a possible molecular mechanism for investigation of cellular senescence and aging regulated by DRG2.
