Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    mir-71 Loss and gain-of-function of mir-71 decreases and increases lifespan, respectively [21129974]. mir-71 mutants have a reduced lifespan with 40% decrease in mean lifespan, while extra copies of mir-71 extend the lifespan with an increase in lifespan by 15 - 25% [22482727], Loss of mir-71 function suppresses the long lifespan of glp-1(e2141) mutants [22482727], During adulthood mir-71 is strongly expressed in the intestine, body wall muscles and neurons. mir-71 is upregulated in aging adults [22482727], Nematode
    MIR146B microRNA 146b miR-146a/b is significantly elevated during senescence as a compensatory response to restrain inflammation via the suppression of IL-6 and IL-8 secretion and downregulation of IRAK1 (component of IL-1 receptor signaling). Ectopic expression of miR-146a/b in primary fibroblasts suppresses IL-6 and IL-8 secretion and downregulation of IRAK1 [20148189]. Human
    MIR146A microRNA 146a miR-146a/b is significantly elevated during senescence as a compensatory response to restrain inflammation via the suppression of IL-6 and IL-8 secretion and downregulation of IRAK1 (component of IL-1 receptor signaling). Ectopic expression of miR-146a/b in primary fibroblasts suppresses IL-6 and IL-8 secretion and downregulation of IRAK1 [20148189]. Human

    MIR217 microRNA 217 MIR217 (alias hsa-miR-217) is significantly upregulated in senescent human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) when compared to early passage hMSC, but overall had very low expression levels [18493317]. Human

    MIR20A microRNA 20a Overexpression of MiR-20a in mouse embryonic fibroblasts induces senescence by lowering Lrf (a transcriptional repressor of the Mdm2 inhibitor p19ARF [15662416; 9529248]) protein levels and in turn increasing p19ARF levels [18596985]. House mouse

    MIR34B microRNA 34b mir-34 family, particularly miR-34a, as downstream effectors of p53 involved in cell cycle [17656095], leads to cell cycle arrest, increased expression of Beta-galactosidase [17554337] and downregulation of E3F family target genes [17875987]. MDM2 inhibiting drug Nutlin-3, leads to p53 activation, induced up-regulation of primarily miR-34a and later miR-34b and miR-34c [18451145]. Human

    mir-34 mir-34 loss triggers a gene expression profile of accelerated brain aging, late-onset brain degeneration and catastrophic decline in survival, while mir-34 upregulation extends median lifespan and mitigated neurodegeneration induced by polyglutamine. Fruit fly
    lin-4 abnormal cell LINeage 4 A loss-of-function mutation in lin-4 shortens lifespan and accelerated tissue ageing while overexpressing lin-4 extends lifespan by redarding aging [16373574]. lin-4 is regulated by DAF-16 in L1 arrest. Nematode
