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
    F52C6.2 RNA interference decreased median lifespan by 19% in wild type animals and 46% in daf-2 mutants. Nematode
    age-2 Homocygous age-2 mutation increases mean (+43%, +31%, +38%) and maximum (+29%, +36%, +18%)) lifespan by about 20%. age-2 mutant exhibit normal motility, slightly higher swimming rates, reduced fertility and somewhat longer development times and slightly larger size at the first egg laying. Lifespan is extended by reducing the initial mortality rate. age-2 mutation complements other aging gene mutations such as age-1, daf-2, spe-26, clk-1, clk-3 and gro-1. A age-1 age-2 double mutant lives longer than animals with individual mutations and exhibits a longer lifespan at 25 degree Celsius than at 20 degree Celsius [10219000]. Nematode
    mir-238 Mutating mir-238 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 18 and 24% [21129974]. mir-238(n4112) mutation decreases mean lifespan by 20% [22482727]. Nematode
