概括

几代C. elegansPRG-1/Piwi突变体的生育能力降低,但寿命增加,这表明与遗传性生殖线压力和DAF-16相关的hormetic应激反应,影响寿命的表观遗传遗传.

科学领域:

遗传学是一个遗传学.
分子生物学分子生物学
衰老研究研究衰老研究

背景情况:

在C. elegans阿尔戈诺特蛋白PRG-1/Piwi和piRNAs防御基因组对转位子.
传播prg-1突变导致生育能力下降和类似压力反应的生殖停止.
后一代prg-1突变体显示出延长寿命.

研究的目的:

研究prg-1突变体中寿命和生育能力下降背后的机制.
探索DAF-16和P体在观察到的表型中的作用.
要确定长寿是否是一种荷尔蒙应激反应,并了解其遗传性.

主要方法:

对prg-1突变物代的表型分析 (生育能力,寿命).
对DAF-16的基因操纵 (功能丧失,过度表达).
对P体和生殖细胞核的观察.
评估遗传性压力跨代传播的情况.

主要成果:

晚代prg-1突变物是长寿的,与早期/中代突变物不同.
DAF-16对于长寿至关重要;它的损失缩短了寿命,而过度表达则延长了寿命.
长寿突变体中的P体增加,并传递给F1后代.
遗传性压力,当DAF-16或P体缺乏时,会缩短寿命.
小的生殖细胞核都存在,但对于长寿来说并不重要.

结论:

晚代prg-1突变的长寿是一种荷尔蒙应激反应.
prg-1突变生殖细胞传递遗传性压力,促进长寿和降低生育能力.
这种遗传性生殖系压力可能与长寿的表观遗传相关.

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

piRNA - Piwi-interacting RNAs

PIWI-interacting RNAs, or piRNAs, are the most abundant short non-coding RNAs. More than 20,000 genes have been found in humans that code for piRNAs while only 2000 genes have been found for miRNAs. piRNAs can act at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels and have a vital role in silencing transposable elements present in germ cells. They are also involved in epigenetic silencing and activation. Previously, they were thought to function only in germ cells but new evidence suggests...

Replicative Cell Senescence

Replicative Cell Senescence

Replicative cell senescence is a property of cells that allows them to divide a finite number of times throughout the organism's lifespan while preventing excessive proliferation. Replicative senescence is associated with the gradual loss of the telomere — short, repetitive DNA sequences found at the end of the chromosomes. Telomeres are bound by a group of proteins to form a protective cap on the ends of chromosomes. Embryonic stem cells express telomerase — an enzyme that adds...

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Background and Environment Affect Phenotype

Although the genetic makeup of an organism plays a major role in determining the phenotype, there are also several environmental factors, such as temperature, oxygen availability, presence of mutagens, that can alter an organism’s phenotype.
An example of how genetic background affects phenotype can be seen in horses. The Extension gene in horses is responsible for their coat color. A wild-type gene (EE) produces black pigment in the coat, while a mutant gene (ee) produces red pigment. A...
