dc.description.abstractThe mutations in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) that extend lifespan slow down aging by interfering with several signaling pathways, including the insulin/IGF-1 signaling (IIS) pathway, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). The tumor suppressor pRb (retinoblastoma protein) is believed to be involved in almost all human cancers. Lin-35, the C. elegans orthologue of the tumor suppressor pRb, was included in the study to explore the effects of insulin and IGF-1 because it has been linked to cancerrelated pRb function in mammals and exhibits a tumor suppressor effect by inhibiting mTOR or IIS signaling. According to our results, IGF-1 or insulin increased the lifespan of lin-35 worms compared to N2 worms by increasing fertilization efficiency, also causing a significant increase in body size. It was concluded that the expression of daf-2 and rsks-1 decreased after insulin or IGF-1 administration, thus extending the lifespan of C. elegans lin-35 worms through both IIS and mTOR-dependent mechanisms. This suggests that it was mediated by the combined effect of the TOR and IIS pathways. These results, especially obtained in cancer-associated mutant lin-35 worms, will be useful in elucidating the C. elegans cancer model in the future.
