Here, we report that inactivation of the Caenorhabditis elegans dynamin-related protein DRP-1, a key component responsible for mitochondrial fission and conserved from yeast to humans, dramatically enhanced the effect of reduced insulin signaling (IIS) to extend lifespan. This represents the first report of a beneficial impact of manipulating mitochondrial dynamics on animal lifespan and suggests that mitochondrial morphology and IIS cooperate to modulate aging.
在这里,我们报告说,秀丽隐杆线虫中与动力蛋白相关的蛋白 DRP-1 的失活,这种蛋白是负责线粒体分裂的关键组成部分,从酵母到人类都保守存在,它极大地增强了降低胰岛素信号(IIS)的效果,从而延长了寿命。这代表了操纵线粒体动力学对动物寿命产生有益影响的第一个报告,并表明线粒体形态和 IIS 共同调节衰老。
