N2 - With the rapid growth of the aging population, exploring the biological basis of aging and related molecular mechanisms has become an important topic in modern scientific research. Aging can cause multiple organ function attenuations, leading to the occurrence and development of various age-related metabolic, nervous system, and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, aging is closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors. Although a number of studies have used various mouse models to study aging, further research is needed to associate mouse and human aging at the molecular level. In this paper, we systematically assessed the relationship between human and mouse aging by comparing multi-tissue age-related gene expression sets. We compared 18 human and mouse tissues, and found 9 significantly correlated tissue pairs. Functional analysis also revealed some terms related to aging in human and mouse. And we performed a crosswise comparison of homologous age-related genes with 18 tissues in human and mouse respectively, and found that human Brain_Cortex was significantly correlated with Brain_Hippocampus, which was also found in mouse. In addition, we focused on comparing four brain-related tissues in human and mouse, and found a gene–GFAP–related to aging in both human and mouse.
