Inhibition of hif-1 by RNAi extends adult lifespan. Lifespan extension by hif-1 suppression does not require DAF-16, because inhibition of hif-1 by RNAi extends lifespan of wild-type and daf-16 null mutant to a similar level. hif-1 RNAi further extends the lifespan of daf-2 mutants. hif-1 is in the TOR pathway, downstream of S6K/rsks-1: Inhibition of hif-1 by RNAi does not further extend lifespan of daf-15 heterozygous mutants. Lifespan extension by deletion mutant of rsks-1 is fully suppressed by egl-9 mutation [19461873].
