The mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) that extend lifespan slow down aging by interfering with several signaling pathways, including the insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). The tumor suppressor pRb (retinoblastoma protein) is believed to be involved in almost all human cancers. Lin-35, the C. elegans orthologue of the tumor suppressor pRb, was included in the study to explore the effects of insulin and IGF-1 because it has been linked to cancer-related pRb function in mammals and exhibits a tumor suppressor effect by inhibiting mTOR or IIS signaling. According to our results, IGF-1 or insulin increased the lifespan of lin-35 worms compared to N2 worms by increasing fertilization efficiency, also causing a significant increase in body size. It was concluded that the expression of daf-2 and rsks-1 decreased after insulin or IGF-1 administration, thus extending the lifespan of C. elegans lin-35 worms through both IIS and mTOR-dependent mechanisms. This suggests that it was mediated by the combined effect of the TOR and IIS pathways. These results, especially obtained in cancer-associated mutant lin-35 worms, will be useful in elucidating the C. elegans cancer model in the future.
秀丽隐杆线虫(C. elegans)中的突变通过干扰几种信号通路,包括胰岛素/IGF-1 信号通路(IIS)、AMP 激活的蛋白激酶(AMPK)和雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mTOR),从而延长寿命并减缓衰老。肿瘤抑制因子 pRb(视网膜母细胞瘤蛋白)被认为与几乎所有人类癌症都有关。秀丽隐杆线虫中与肿瘤抑制因子 pRb 同源的 Lin-35 被纳入研究中,以探索胰岛素和 IGF-1 的作用,因为它与哺乳动物中与癌症相关的 pRb 功能有关,并通过抑制 mTOR 或 IIS 信号发挥肿瘤抑制作用。根据我们的结果,IGF-1 或胰岛素通过提高受精效率增加了 lin-35 线虫的寿命,与 N2 线虫相比,还导致体型显著增大。研究还发现,胰岛素或 IGF-1 处理后,daf-2 和 rsks-1 的表达减少,从而通过 IIS 和 mTOR 依赖的机制延长了 C. elegans lin-35 线虫的寿命。这表明这是由 TOR 和 IIS 通路的共同作用介导的。这些结果,特别是在与癌症相关的突变 lin-35 线虫中获得的结果,将有助于阐明未来的秀丽隐杆线虫癌症模型。
