“…Also, in vivo studies indicate that the FOXO-dependent regulation of AMPs is evolutionarily conserved (see also (Becker et al, 2010;Garsin et al, 2003;Troemel et al, 2006)). Becker et al (2010) found that AMP expression was inhibited in FOXO null mutants but enhanced when FOXO was overexpressed.…”

“…In particular, mutations in the daf-2 insulin-like receptor extend lifespan up to one fold [20,21]. daf-2 mutant worms are also more resistant to a variety of stress conditions and less susceptible to tumorigenesis than are wild-type worms [8,26,28,31]. To ascertain whether and how the daf-2 gene affects the rate of motor activity decay, we quantified spontaneous locomotion behavior of daf-2 (e1370) and daf-2(e1368) worms throughout their lifesapn.…”

“…Because a conserved insulin-like signaling pathway controls both aging and pathogen resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans (2,3), the identification of cellular innate immune functions regulated by this pathway may help elucidate the basis of age-related declines in immunity. One candidate target is autophagy, a lysosomal degradation pathway that decreases with age, is implicated in the degradation of intracellular bacteria, and is required for the lifespan extension of nematodes with mutation in the daf-2 insulin-like signaling pathway (4)(5)(6)(7).…”
