C. elegans miro-1 Mutation Reduces the Amount of Mitochondria and Extends Life Span
Mitochondria play a critical role in aging, however, the underlying mechanism is not well understood. We found that a mutation disrupting the C. elegans homolog of Miro GTPase (miro-1) extends life span. This phenotype requires simultaneous loss of miro-1 from multiple tissues including muscles and neurons, and is dependent on daf-16/FOXO. Notably, the amount of mitochondria in the miro-1 mutan...
متن کاملAngiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor Extends Caenorhabditis elegans Life Span.
Animal aging is characterized by progressive, degenerative changes in many organ systems. Because age-related degeneration is a major contributor to disability and death in humans, treatments that delay age-related degeneration are desirable. However, no drugs that delay normal human aging are currently available. To identify drugs that delay age-related degeneration, we used the powerful Caeno...
متن کاملNeuronal inhibition of the autophagy nucleation complex extends life span in post-reproductive C. elegans.
Autophagy is a ubiquitous catabolic process that causes cellular bulk degradation of cytoplasmic components and is generally associated with positive effects on health and longevity. Inactivation of autophagy has been linked with detrimental effects on cells and organisms. The antagonistic pleiotropy theory postulates that some fitness-promoting genes during youth are harmful during aging. On t...
متن کاملExtending life-span in C. elegans.
The life-span of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans can be extended by at least six different mechanisms, including calorie restriction, reduced Ins/IGF-1 signaling, germline ablation, food sensing amphid ablation, mitochondrial deficiency, and decreased temperature. Reduced Ins/IGF-1 signaling and calorie restriction can also increase the life-span of flies and mice. The Brevia "Healthy anima...
متن کاملInhibition of Respiration Extends C. elegans Life Span via Reactive Oxygen Species that Increase HIF-1 Activity
A mild inhibition of mitochondrial respiration extends the life span of many organisms, including yeast, worms, flies, and mice, but the underlying mechanism is unknown. One environmental condition that reduces rates of respiration is hypoxia (low oxygen). Thus, it is possible that mechanisms that sense oxygen play a role in the longevity response to reduced respiration. The hypoxia-inducible f...
