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

    XRCC6 X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 6 The single-nucleotide polymorphism in rs132793 in XRCC6 has significant effect on telomere length, but it is not associated with longevity [21972126]. Human
    VPS36 Vacuolar Protein Sortin 36 VPS36 deletion mutants have a chronological lifespan as long as wild type BY4741. Thus, Vps36 is not necessary for the starvation/extreme DR-dependent lifespan extension [20657825]. Budding yeast
    Vitamin D receptor vitamin D (1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3) receptor Vitamin D receptor was not found to be associated with longevity [21051524]. Human
    Vitamin C Treatment with 1 mM vitamin C has no effect on lifespan of wild-type, but significantly shortens the lifespan of both isp-1 and muo-6 mutants [21151885]. Supplementation with vitamin C normalizes the median lifespan of wnr-1 and mir-124 mutants, which both exhibit premature aging [23075628]. Nematode
    vit-1 Vitellogenin-1 vit-1 RNAi animals have a mean lifespan that 103.3% of controls, but not significant different. vit-1 is differentially expressed in daf-16 and daf-2 RNAi animals [12845331]. Nematode
    VEGFA vascular endothelial growth factor A VEGFA was found to be associated with longevity [17574707]. VEGFA was not found to be associated with longevity [17574707]. Human
    VDR vitamin D (1,25- dihydroxyvitamin D3) receptor VDR was found to be associated with longevity [21051524]. VDR was not found to be associated with longevity [20407924]. VDR was found to be associated with longevity [20407924]. Human
    unc-80 UNCoordinated The unc-80(e1069) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-80 mutant displays irregular movement [4366476] Nematode
    unc-79 UNCoordinated The unc-79(e1068) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-78 mutants display irregular movement [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-78 UNCoordinated 78 Mutation in unc-78 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-78 mutants move slowly [7190524]. Nematode
    unc-7 UNCoordinated Mutation of unc-7 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-67 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-6 UNCoordinated 6 Mutation in unc-6 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-6 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-54 UNCoordinated 54 Mutation in unc-54 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-54 mutants are paralyzed [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-52 UNCoordinated 52 RNA interference of unc-52 in adulthood extends mean lifespan by 11% [17411345]. RNAi knockdown of unc-52 starting at hatching or only during the adulthood significantly decreases lifespan of eat-2 without affecting wild-type lifespan. UNC-52 levels are elevated in eat-2 mutants. Increased content of UNC-52 is, at least partially, required for lifespan-extension by DR [22810224]. Nematode
    unc-49 UNCoordinated 49 The unc-49(e382) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-49 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-47 UNCoordinated 47 The unc-47(e367) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-47 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-46 UNCoordinated 46 unc-46(e177) allele has no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-46 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-30 UNCoordinated 30 Mutations in unc-30 have no significant effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-30 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-29 UNCoordinated Mutation in unc-29 has no effect on lifespan [9789046] and fails to extend male lifespan [10747056]. unc-29 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-25 UNCoordinated 25 Mutations in unc-25 have no effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-25 mutants are defective for foraging, locomotion, and defecation [8332190] as well as uncoordinated [4366476]. Nematode
    unc-24 UNCordinated 24 Mutations in unc-24 have no significant effect on lifespan [9789046] and unc-24(e138) fails to extend male lifespan [10747056]. unc-24 mutant is uncoordinated and displays irregular movement [4366476; 8667025]. Nematode
    unc-2 UNCoordinated 2 Loss of function in unc-2 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. unc-2 mutant is uncoordinated [4366476] and its rate of pharyngeal pumping is reduced [8325482]. Nematode
    unc-15 UNCoordinated 15 Mutation of unc-15 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. Some alleles of un-15 display severe paralysis [4366476; 2051482]. Nematode
    unc-1 UNCoordinated 1 Mutation in unc-1 has no effect on lifespan [9789046]. Nematode
