The polyphenol quercetin has recently been found to extend lifespan and increase stress resistance in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. The forkhead transcription factor DAF-16 has previously been linked to these effects. However, by using a daf-16(mgDf50) mutant strain, we show that quercetin exposure leads to increased mean lifespans up to 15%. Furthermore, quercetin-treated daf-16(mgDf50) worms show an enhanced resistance to thermal and oxidative stress. Our data reveal that DAF-16 is not obligatorily required for quercetin-mediated longevity and stress resistance.
最近发现,多酚槲皮素可延长线虫秀丽隐杆线虫的寿命并增强其抗逆性。此前已发现叉头转录因子DAF-16与这些作用有关。然而,通过使用daf-16(mgDf50)突变株,我们发现暴露于槲皮素可使平均寿命延长高达15%。此外,经槲皮素处理的daf-16(mgDf50)线虫对热应激和氧化应激的抵抗力增强。我们的数据表明,DAF-16并非槲皮素介导的长寿和抗逆性所必需的。
