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

    miR152 microRNA 152 MiR152 belongs to miR148/152 cluster and can act as a tumor-suppressor. In ovarian cancer, miR152 suppresses DNMT1 directly and inhibits proliferation of cancer cells. [23318422] The miRNA is downregulated in ovarian cancer cells lines and its downregulation may lead to deregulation of cell proliferation in ovarian cancer. [21971665] Human
    MIR155 microRNA 155 mir-155 is significantly overexpressed in human breast cancer while targeting the miRNA could induce apoptosis and cell cycle arrest as well as inhibit cell growth. [18719391]. Mir155 acts by repressing socs1, a tumor suppressor. In addition, inflammatory signals may activate miR155, thus suggesting that the miRNA serves as a link between inflammation and malignancy formation [20354188]. It is also upregulated in lung cancer and acts an oncogene by targeting Apaf1 and thus reducing apoptosis rate [22996741]. Inhibition of mir-155 radiosensitizes cancer cells [22027557]. Human
    MIR15A microRNA 15a MIR15A is a tumor-suppressor downregulated in different types of cancers. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) it is downregulated in 68% of cases [12434020]. MIR15A may post-transcriptionally downregulate the expression of Bcl2, thus inducing apoptosis. Therefore, inactivation of MIR15A and MIR16-1 in CLL lymphocytes results in a reduced apoptosis rate [16166262]. In prostate cancer, MIR15A and MIR16-1 are downregulated, which results in decreased repression of FGF-2, thus promoting tumor expansion and invasiveness [21532615]. MIR15A and MIR16-1 are also downregulated in pituitary adenomas as thier expression exhibits an inverse correlation with tumor diameter, therefore possible influence on tumor growth [15648093]. Human
    MIR16-1 microRNA16-1 MIR16-1 is a tumor-suppressor downregulated in different types of cancers. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) it is downregulated in 68% of cases [12434020]. MIR16-1 may post-transcriptionally downregulate the expression of Bcl2, thus inducing apoptosis. Therefore, inactivation of MIR15A and MIR16-1 in CLL lymphocytes results in a reduced apoptosis rate [16166262]. In prostate cancer, MIR15A and MIR16-1 are downregulated, which results in decreased repression of FGF-2, thus promoting tumor expansion and invasiveness [21532615]. MIR15A and MIR16-1 are also downregulated in pituitary adenomas as thier expression exhibits an inverse correlation with tumor diameter, therefore possible influence on tumor growth [15648093]. Human
    miR17 microRNA 17 miR17 is downregulated in senescent cells and has a good correlation with p21 transcription, while p53 represses mir17-92 cluster [20437201; 20089119] 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
    MIR21 MIRN21; hsa-mir-21; miR-21; miRNA21 MIR21 is the most highly expressed microRNA gene in octogenarians and centenarians. MIR21 expression is higher under cardiovascular diseases and lower in centenarian offspring. MIR21 is correlated with C-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels. TGF-βR2 mRNA, a MIR21 target, exhibits the highest expression in leukocytes form a subset of octogenarians. MIR-21 may be a biomarker of inflammation [23041385]. 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
    miR221 microRNA 221 miR221 and miR222 downregulate PTEN, a major tumor suppressor and TIMP3, which induces activation of caspases 8 and 9 [19962668]. Thus miR221 and miR222 enhance tumorigenecity in cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and hepatocarcinoma cells [20618998] Human
    miR222 microRNA 222 miR221 and miR222 downregulate PTEN, a major tumor suppressor and TIMP3, which induces activation of caspases 8 and 9 [19962668]. Thus miR221 and miR222 enhance tumorigenecity in cell lung cancer, gastric cancer and hepatocarcinoma cells [20618998]. Human
    Mir27a MicroRNA 27a In Ames dwarf mice (which displays delayed Aging), Mir27a expression is significantly higher than in control mice. Mir27a may be responsible for delayed Aging in dwarf mice: it suppresses the expression of ODC1 and SRM, which in turn suppresses polyamine synthesis in dwarf mice liver. Part of the ability of dwarf mice to suppress or avoid tumor or Cancer growth may be attributed to the decreased Polyamine biosynthesis. [19878148] House mouse
    MIR27A microRNA 27a MIR27A can be both a tumor-suppressor and an oncogene. For instance, the expression of miR-27a is significantly lower in acute leukemia compared to normal cells. It has been shown that miRNA-27a inhibits cell growth and promotes apoptosis by targeting 14-3-3θ, a member of 14-3-3 family of anti-apoptotic proteins. [23236401]. Therefore, it acts as a tumor-suppressor in leukemia. However, in gastric cancer mir-27a acts as an oncogene by targeting inhibiting and thus promoting cancer cell growth [18789835]. Human
    MIR29A microRNA 29a miR-29a reduces the amount of methylation and upregulates a long non-coding RNA form a region called MEG3 that is responsible for inducing apoptotic pathway. Thus reducing tumorgensis in non-malignant hepatocytes [21625215]. Human

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

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
