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

    Y48G1A.4 RNA interference in adulthood extended mean lifespan by 21%. Nematode
    Y47G6A.18 RNA interference decreased median lifespan by 28% in a daf-2 background and 12% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants. Nematode
    Y47D3A RNAi against Y47D3A.29 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 19-26% and 34% [18059442]. Nematode

    Y46G5A.6 phi-3 RNA interference of Y46G5A.6 in adulthood shortens the extends lifespan of daf-2(mu150) mutants. Only a negligible or small reduction in the lifespan of wild-type worms occurs by knockdown of Y46G5A.6 [17392428]. Nematode

    wwp-1 WW domain Protein (E3 ubiquitin ligase) 1 RNA interference of wwp-1 decreases median lifespan by 9% in wild-type animals and 24% in daf-2 mutants [18006689]. Loss of wwp-1 function by RNAi or mutation reduces lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, but not 20 degree Celsius. wwp-1 overexpression extends lifespan by up to 20%. Reduced levels of wwp-1 completely suppress the extended longevity of eat-2 mutants. Lifespan of wwp-1 mutants across entire food concentration range by bacterial dilution in liquid culture or on solid plates does not noticeable change. There is no difference in wwp-1 mRNA levels under AL and DR. RNAi reduction of pha-4, but not of daf-16 suppresses increased longevity by wwp-1 overexpression. Mutations in iron sulphur component of complex III, isp-1, increases longevity by reducing mitochondrial function. wwp-1 RNAi does not suppress the extended lifespan of isp-1 mutants and has only minor suppressive effects on lifespan of another mitochondrial mutant, clk-1, and in cyc-1 RNAi treated worms. RNAi depletion of wwp-1 has no effect on long lifespan of daf-2 mutants [19553937]. Nematode
    wts-1 WarTS (Drosophila) protein kinase homolog 1 RNA interference of wts-1 in adulthood extends mean lifespan by 21% [17411345]. Nematode
    wrn-1 human WRN (Werner's syndrome) related RNAi kockdown of wrn-1 shortens the lifespan, increases sensitivity to DNA damage, and accelerates aging phenoypes [15115755]. A nonfunctional wrn-1 DNA helicase decreases the lifespan. The expression of miR-124 in whole wrn-1 mutant worms is significantly reduced. Supplementation with vitamin C normalizes the median lifespan of wnr-1 and mir-124 mutants [23075628]. Nematode
    wnk-1 mammalian WNK-type protein kinase homolog 1 RNA interference of wnk-1 decreases lifespan by 9% and suppresses lifespan extension by eat-2 mutation [22829775]. Nematode
