(Submitter supplied) Naked mole rats (NMRs, Heterocephalus glaber) are long-lived mammals that possess a natural resistance to cancer and other age-related pathologies, maintaining a healthy life span for >30 years. We report application of RNAseq technology to analyze changes in the skin transcriptome of NMRs during aging. RNAseq analyses reveal that the transcript levels of several longevity-associated (Igfbp3, Igf2bp3, Ing2) and tumor-suppressor genes (Btg2, Cdkn1a, Cdkn2c, Dnmt3a, Hic1, Socs3, Sfrp1, Sfrp5, Thbs1, Tsc1, Zfp36) are increased in aged versus young NMR skin.
