Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    Mir669c microRNA 669c Expression increases with age in mouse liver. The miRNA downregulates detoxification and regeneration genes, which may contribute to aging [18561983]. House mouse
    miR-214 microRNA 214 Expression increases with age in mouse liver. The miRNA downregulates detoxification and regeneration genes, which may contribute to aging [18561983]. House mouse
    Mir34a microRNA mir-34a Increases in aging rat liver, which suppresses the expression of such proteins as Sirt1 and Mgst1, resulting in dysfunction of oxidative stress defense and regulation [21216258] Norway rat
    Mir93 microRNA mir-93 Increases in Aging rat Liver, which suppresses the expression of such proteins as Sirt1 and Mgst1, resulting in dysfunction of oxidative stress defense and regulation [21216258] Norway rat
    Mir27a MicroRNA 27a In Ames dwarf mice (which displays delayed Aging), Mir27a expression is significantly higher than in control mice. Mir27a may be responsible for delayed Aging in dwarf mice: it suppresses the expression of ODC1 and SRM, which in turn suppresses polyamine synthesis in dwarf mice liver. Part of the ability of dwarf mice to suppress or avoid tumor or Cancer growth may be attributed to the decreased Polyamine biosynthesis. [19878148] House mouse
    MIR21 MIRN21; hsa-mir-21; miR-21; miRNA21 MIR21 is the most highly expressed microRNA gene in octogenarians and centenarians. MIR21 expression is higher under cardiovascular diseases and lower in centenarian offspring. MIR21 is correlated with C-reactive protein and fibrinogen levels. TGF-βR2 mRNA, a MIR21 target, exhibits the highest expression in leukocytes form a subset of octogenarians. MIR-21 may be a biomarker of inflammation [23041385]. Human
    mir-34 — mir-34 loss triggers a gene expression profile of accelerated brain aging, late-onset brain degeneration and catastrophic decline in survival, while mir-34 upregulation extends median lifespan and mitigated neurodegeneration induced by polyglutamine. Fruit fly
