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

    R08E3.3 RNA interference extended lifespan. Nematode
    ZC250.3 RNA interference decreased median lifespan by 29% in wild type animals, 41% in a daf-2 background and 25% in daf-2/daf-16 double mutants. Nematode
    R10H10.7 RNA interference increased mean lifespan by 22%. Nematode
    F56D5.5 RNA interference increased mean lifespan by 20%. Nematode
    F57B10.3 RNA interference against F57B10.3 extends mean and maximum lifespan by 21% and 48%, respectively, without causing any developmental pleiotropies or defects in mitochondrial morphology. Lifespan extension by F57B10.3 is suppressed by daf-16. F57B10.3 RNAi animals have lower ATP content and oxygen consumption [12447374]. Nematode
    ZK1127.5 RNA interference in adulthood extended mean lifespan by 24%. Nematode
    R12B2.6 RNA interference decreased median lifespan by 22% in wild type animals and 24% in daf-2 mutants. Nematode
    F59A3.3 RNA interference in adulthood resulted in a 14% mean lifespan extension. Nematode
    R53.4 RNA interference in adulthood extended mean lifespan by 20%. Nematode
    mir-124 Loss of mir-124 increases reactive oxygen species formation and accumulation of the aging marker lipofuscin, reduces whole body ATP levels and results in reduction in lifespan [23075628]. Supplementation of vitamin C normalizes the reduced median lifespan of mir-124 mutants [23075628]. The expression of the conserved mir-124 in whole wrn-1 mutants (which premature age) is significantly reduced [23075628]. Nematode
    F59B2.8 RNA interference in adulthood shortened the extended lifespan of daf-2(mu150) mutants. Only a negligible or small reduction in the lifespan of wild-type worms was observed in knockouts. Nematode
    ZK686.2 RNA interference in adulthood extended mean lifespan by 24%. Nematode
    F59B8.2 RNA interference resulted in extended lifespan. Nematode
    ZK809.3 RNA interference increased mean lifespan by 100%. Nematode
    F59C6.5 RNA interference in adulthood extended mean lifespan by 19%. Nematode
    F54D5.11 F54D5.11 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [New longevity regulators]. Nematode
    Ash-2 RNAi extended fertile lifespan. Nematode
    F54D5.11 F38E11.5 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [New longevity regulators]. Nematode
    Rbr-2 RNAi decreased lifespan. Nematode
    cul-6 RNAi decrease lifespan of daf-2 mutant and increased lifespan glp-1 mutant, but had no significant effect on lifespan of WT. Nematode
    rpn-1 RNAi decreased lifespan of WT, daf-2 and glp-1 mutant. Nematode
    rpn-3 RNAi decreased lifespan of WT, daf-2 and glp-1 mutant. Nematode
    rpn-6 RNAi decreased lifespan of WT, daf-2 and glp-1 mutant. Nematode
    rpn-8 RNAi decreased lifespan of WT, daf-2 and glp-1 mutant. Nematode
    rpn-9 RNAi decreased lifespan of WT, daf-2 and glp-1 mutant. Nematode
    Factors are an extension of GenAge and GenDR.
