What is FOXO4-DRI?
FOXO4-DRI is a peptide inhibitor that selectively interferes with the interaction between the FOXO4 protein and p53. This interaction plays a key role in the survival of senescent cells – cells that have lost the ability to divide but remain metabolically active and often produce inflammatory cytokines. By interrupting this signaling, senescent cells undergo apoptosis in experimental conditions without harming healthy tissues.
How does FOXO4-DRI work?
The peptide is designed as a D-retro-inverso version of a fragment of the FOXO4 protein. This version resists proteolytic degradation and is more stable in the cell environment. By blocking the binding of FOXO4 to p53, it prevents signals that would otherwise keep senescent cells alive. In this way, FOXO4-DRI enables their apoptosis (programmed cell death) and potentially promotes tissue regeneration by removing these damaged cells.
