Aging Overview

External factors

External factors: LG2055
Aging type: Prevent
Aging characteristic:
Category: Chemical compounds
Phenotype: Aging
Experimental category: L
Tissue type: Worm
Cell name: --
PMID: 26710940
Experiment: SA-β-gal activity assay//Immunostaining
Description: We observed that feeding with LG2055 delayed aging, with intestinal lipofuscin( a marker of cellular damage during aging) levels being 12% lower in LG2055-fed worms than in OP50-fed worms. However, the ratio of stained area in the whole body was decreased in LG2055-fed worms compared with that in OP50-fed worms.


Regulatory relationship

Target gene: SKN-1
R-EF-Target gene: Upregulation
Official symbol(s): POU2F3
Target gene experiment: GFP localization assay
Target gene description: We observed that extrachromosomal and integrated transgenes driving skn-1c–gfp expression from ges-1 promoter 16 induced stronger fluorescence in LG2055-fed worms than in OP50-fed worms.

Regulatory pathway: p38 MAPK
R-EF-Pathway: Activation
Pathway experiment: Western blot
Pathway description: We observed that feeding with LG2055 altered the expression of genes involved in p38 MAPK signaling ;In addition, levels of phosphorylated p38 were increased in LG2055-fed worms .
