Potential relevance to dietary restriction and ageing

Observations

hsp-12.6 loss-of-function mutation significantly extends lifespan under ad lib and significantly suppresses intermittent fasting-induced increase in lifespan, to a similar extend to that of daf-16 mutation. HSP-12.6 expression is induced by fasting in various tissues, including body wall muscle and neuronal systems. hsp-16.2 is one of downstream targets of DAF-16 in intermittent fasting-induced longevity. The extent of intermittent fasting-induced longevity in daf-16 hsp-12.6 double mutant is similar to that of single hsp-12.6 or daf-16 mutants [2566].
