Caffeine and related purine alkaloids are common ingredients of many stimulating drinks. Studies have shown that lower concentrations of caffeine have a protective role in aging-related disorders. However, the associated mode of action of caffeine and its related methylxanthines is still not clear. In this study, we demonstrated that caffeine and theophylline promote longevity in . Lifespan studies with the wild type, DAF-16 and SKN-1 mutant strains indicated that the methylxanthines-mediated lifespan extension in was independent of DAF-16/FOXO and SKN-1. All the tested methylxanthines could protect against acute oxidative stress. At early stages of life, an increase of ROS (reactive oxygen species) induced the translocation of DAF-16 and SKN-1, resulting in upregulation of several antioxidant genes, for example, ::GFP, ::GFP, ::GFP; and downregulation of ::GFP. RT-PCR corroborates the upregulation of and genes. The expression of DAF-16 decreased although its nuclear translocation was induced.
咖啡因及相关嘌呤生物碱是许多刺激性饮品的常见成分。研究表明,较低浓度的咖啡因在与衰老相关的病症中具有保护作用。然而,咖啡因及其相关甲基黄嘌呤的相关作用模式仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们证明了咖啡因和茶碱可延长秀丽隐杆线虫的寿命。对野生型、DAF-16和SKN-1突变株的寿命研究表明,甲基黄嘌呤介导的秀丽隐杆线虫寿命延长与DAF-16/FOXO和SKN-1无关。所有测试的甲基黄嘌呤都能保护秀丽隐杆线虫免受急性氧化应激。在生命早期,活性氧(ROS)的增加诱导了DAF-16和SKN-1的易位,导致几个抗氧化基因的上调,例如,::GFP、::GFP、::GFP;以及::GFP的下调。RT-PCR证实了和基因的上调。尽管诱导了DAF-16的核易位,但其表达却下降了。
