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

    InR Insulin-like 1 receptor Mutations in InR (InRE19/InRp5545 transheterozygous) result in dwarf females with extended lifespan of up to 85% and dwarf males with reduced late age-specific mortality (although no significant change in lifespan) [11292875]. InrGC25/InrE19 transheterozygous animals are short-lived an exhibit an elevated rate of age-independent mortality [11292874]. Natural allelic variation in InR are associated with variation in lifespan [15013662; 20074316]. Fruit fly
    Hsp70Ba Heat-shock-protein-70Ba Hsp70Ba overexpression reduces mean and maximum lifespan up to 30% [19420297]. hsp70 and hsp22 RNA levels are higher in long-lived than in short-lived fly lines. The HDAC inhibitor TSA causes a higher expression of hsp22 and hsp70, and strikingly influences the lifespan in both long and short-lived lines, with variable degrees (up to 25%) [15695762]. Fruit fly
    CLU clusterin Overexpression of the secretory form of human Clusterin in fruit flies increases mean lifespan. hClu overexpression flies also have greater tolerance to heat shock, wet starvation, and oxidative stress and the whole body amounts of reactive oxygen species is lower [22465014].CLU was found to be associated with longevity [16804001].

    IGF1 insulin-like growth factor 1 (somatomedin C) Males exhibit an age-related increase in the A-allele of rs2229765 and a change in the plasma level of IGF-1, which dropped significantly after 85 years of age. In males +over 85 years, A/A homozygous individuals have the lowest plasma IGF-1 level. However, ther was no clear correlation between rs2229765 genotype and IGF-1 in females [19460140].IGF1 was found to be associated with longevity [20199671].

    APBB1 amyloid beta (A4) precursor protein-binding, family B, member 1 (Fe65) At least one copy of the minor allele of F65 was associated with decreased risk of sporadic dementia of the Alezheimer's type as suggest by a larde epidemiological study [9799084]. Fe65 protein binds to the intracellular domain of the beta-amyloid precursor protein and may modulate the internalization of betaPP. The deletion/substitution of the minor allele occurs with the intron that interrupts the two exons encoding the betaPP binding site. Linkage of the minor allele with resistance to DAT was confirmed in another study in populations over 75 years-of-age [11065130], while epidemiological studies that did not support the linage [11436125; 11099823; 11029529] lacked representation of individuals older than 75 years-old. Any protective effect that the minor allele of Fe65 might have is probably restricted to individuals older than 75 years. Human
    MTTP microsomal triglyceride transfer protein In a genome-wide scan for loci associated with exceptional longevity in 308 excpetinoal long-lived individuals (representing 17 sibships) a locus on chromosome 4 which maps to MTTP appears to be associated with long-lifespan in this group of subjects [11526246]. Siblings of centenarians are four times more likely to live into their 90s than control siblings [10326548]. Among a U.S.-based group of lon-lived individuals, there is a statistically significant under-representation of a risk allele of MTTP. These result was not replicated in a French-based longevity study, but this discrepancy could be due to a lack of statistically significance [11778046]. Howerver, another study failed to find a significant correlation between MTTP haplotype and longevity in1589 German nonagenarians, centenarians, and appropriately matched controls [15911777]. Neither the chromosomal loci nor MTTP were found to be associated with longevity in nonagenarian individuals in the Leiden Longevity study and Leiden 85-Plus Study [16611701]. Despite the lack of replication, humans homozysous for two on-functioning alleles of MTTP suffer from abetalipoproteinemia and lack of ApoB particles in serum. Also drugs that inhibit MTTP improve lipoprotein profiles.MTTP was found to be associated with longevity [16015282]. MTTP was found to be associated with longevity [17339647].
