Aging is a process that occurs in tissues and across species, leading to the degradation of many biological processes. We previously demonstrated that rabbits are a feasible model for studying aging due to their genetic homology and relatively short lifespan in comparison to humans. We utilized a cPILOT multiplexing strategy to identify proteomic changes in spleen tissues of young, middle, and old aged rabbits. We identified 63 proteins that change significantly (p < 0.05) with age and notably these proteins relate to nucleotide and RNA binding, DNA repair, actin regulation, and immune system pathways. Here, we explore the implications of aging in the spleen and demonstrate the utility of a rabbit model to understand aging processes. Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
