Siah-1 is Critical for Hypoxia-Induced Lifespan Extension in Caenorhabditis elegans by Regulating the Expression of SKN-1.
Abstract
Hypoxia has been shown to extend lifespan in Caenorhabditis elegans through mechanisms involving HIF-1 and DAF-16, but the interplay with SKN-1/Nrf, a key regulator of oxidative stress responses, remains complex. Studies have shown that SKN-1 reduced lifespan when overexpressed in hypoxic environments. However, the mechanism behind SKN-1 regulation under hypoxia is largely unknown.

Research summary
Siah-1 is essential for the regulation of SKN-1 expression under hypoxic conditions, which contributes to lifespan extension in Caenorhabditis elegans. The study explores mechanisms of lifespan extension, directly addressing factors that influence aging processes.
