2. Life expectancy around the world has increased steadily
for nearly 200 years (5 hrs/day). The top countries for
longevity are shown here.
Kirkwood, Nature, 2008
3. Due to increased longevity and declining birth rates,
we are living in a rapidly aging world
Petsko, Genome Biology, 2008
4. Longevity and ROS:
Recent aging research using model organisms has focused on lifespan,
valuable in identifying key genes and proteins as well as generating theories.
• Longevity is influenced by environmental and genetics factors
• Free radical theory of aging
“ Longevity is determined by the capacity of an organism to cope with
random damages induced by radical oxygen species (ROS) ”
Sohal, Free Rad Biol Med, 2002
• ROS are produced by the mitochondrial electron transport and by the Fenton
reaction (Fe2+ + H2O2 Fe3+ + OH˙+ OH-)
Our viewpoint: Aging is not a disease but rather it is a natural process for life forms
that use an oxygen-based metabolism. Oxidation (oxidative stress) is one side of the
redox reactions that drive our metabolism. Reduction (reductive stress) is the other
part and both cause damage in cells.
Our research goal is to promote healthy aging in humans. Our focus is not on
increasing lifespan directly, although this is a likely consequence.
5. Annual Number (in Thousands) of New Cases of Diagnosed Diabetes Among Adults
Aged 18–79 Years, United States, 1980–2010
From 1980 through 2010, the number of adults in the United States aged 18–79 with
newly diagnosed diabetes more than tripled from 493,000 in 1980 to over 1.7 million in
2010. The number of new cases of diabetes has increased since the early 1990s. From
2008 through 2010, the number of new cases of diagnosed diabetes has shown little
change.

Pathway regulates lifespan in a
Broad range of organisms.

TRX-1
reactive oxygen species, and expression
of other antioxidant proteins.
ROC1, named ROC for RING of cullins, a ubiquitin ligase. We suggest that Keap1
negatively regulates Nrf2 function in part by targeting Nrf2 for ubiquitination by the
CUL3-ROC1 ligase and subsequent degradation by the proteasome.
HO-1, Heme oxygenase catalyzes the oxidative degradation of heme into equimolar
amounts of biliverdin, carbon monoxide, and free iron. HO-1 plays a cytoprotective
role in modulating tissue responses to injury in pathophysiological states.
TRX-1, thioredoxin-1 oxidoreductase, predominant role of Trx-1 to limit oxidative
stress directly due to reactive oxygen species scavenging and by protein–protein
interaction with key signaling molecules.
27. mTOR1 Signaling
“TOR is absolutely essential for developmental
growth, but upon completion of development
it causes aging and age‐related diseases.”
HO-1
Blagosklonny and Hall, Aging 2009.
TRX-1
mTOR, the mammalian form of TOR, target of rapamycin, an immunosuppressive drug.
Inhibition of TOR signaling pathway can extend lifespan.
The mTOR pathway integrates signals from nutrients, energy status and growth factors to
regulate many processes, including autophagy, ribosome biogenesis and metabolism.
AMPK, an AMP-dependent kinase, the ancient and central sensor of cellular energy
stress. It is activated by low energy conditions and then inhibits TORC-1 activity and
triggers shift to catabolic metabolism. This shields organisms from metabolic overuse
during bad times.
S6K, S6 kinase, regulator of translation initiation and elongation. Active mTOR results
in the activation of S6K and stimulates both translation initiation and elongation. S6K
deficient mice show an increased lifespan.
