Converging Pathways in Lifespan Regulation
The processes that determine an organism's lifespan are complex and poorly understood. Yet single gene manipulations and environmental interventions can substantially delay age-related morbidity. In this review, we focus on the two most potent modulators of longevity: insulin/insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling and dietary restriction. The remarkable molecular conservation of the com...
متن کاملConverging Biochemical Pathways in Psychiatric Disorders
According to the World Health Organization, neuropsychiatric diseases account for approximately one third of years lost to disability. Yet, despite this huge disease burden, there is a lack of new treatments under development: approved treatments all essentially target the same target(s), if the target itself is known. There is now considerable evidence for a common set of heritable risk for ps...
متن کاملConverging Pathways in the Regulation of Longevity and Metabolism in Caenorhabditis Elegans: A Dissertation
The lifespan of an organism is determined by a complex array of genetic, environmental and nutritional factors. Yet single gene manipulations have been shown to significantly extend lifespan in several model organisms. Of all the genes that have been studied thus far, components of the insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway have emerged as the most robust regulators of longevity. In addition, II...
متن کاملConverging Prefronto-Insula-Amygdala Pathways in Negative Emotion Regulation in Marmoset Monkeys
BACKGROUND Impaired regulation of emotional responses to potential threat is a core feature of affective disorders. However, while the subcortical circuitry responsible for processing and expression of fear has been well characterized, the top-down control of this circuitry is less well understood. Our recent studies demonstrated that heightened emotionality, as measured both physiologically an...
متن کاملINTEGRIN RECEPTOR ACTIVATION TRIGGERS CONVERGING REGULATION OF Cav1.2 CALCIUM CHANNELS BY c-Src AND PKA PATHWAYS
L-type, voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels (CaL) play critical roles in brain and muscle cell excitability. Here we show that currents through heterologously expressed neuronal and smooth muscle CaL channel isoforms are acutely potentiated following 5 1 integrin activation. Only the 1C pore-forming channel subunit is critical for this process. Truncation and site-directed mutagenesis strategies revea...
