trx-1 overexpression extends lifespan in wild-type but not in eat-2 mutants. Ectopic expression of trx-1 in ASJ neurons (but not in the intestine) in trx-1 mutants rescues the lifespan-extension conferred by eat-2 mutation. trx-1 overexpression extends lifespan of wild-type but not in eat-2 mutants. trx-1 deletion almost completely suppresses lifespan extension induced by dietary deprivation (DD). DD upregulates trx-1 expression in ASJ neurons. DR activates trx-1 in ASJ neurons which in turn triggers a trx-1-dependent non-cell autonomous mechanism to extend adult lifespan [21334311].
