Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • The link between aging and insulin signaling is supported by age-related insulin resistance and lifespan extension in rodents via caloric restriction.
  • Studies in C. elegans identified insulin signaling genes (daf-2, age-1, daf-16) that, when mutated, extend lifespan, revealing molecular aging mechanisms.

Purpose:

  • To explore the role of insulin signaling components, including forkhead transcription factors, in aging and longevity in mammals, drawing parallels with C. elegans findings.
  • To investigate the involvement of stress resistance, particularly oxidative stress, in lifespan extension associated with insulin signaling mutations.

Summary:

  • Mammalian homologues of C. elegans daf-16 (FKHR, FKHRL1, AFX) function downstream of insulin signaling and Akt/PKB.
