Knockdown of the C. elegans p53 ortholog cep-1 (which is known to increase the longevity of nematodes by stimulating autophagy) failed to enhance the gain in longevity mediated by sir-2.1 overexpression, in line with the hypothesis that p53 depletion and SIR-2.1 accumulation act through similar pathways to prolong survival.
The new study adds fuel to the fire: Jan Vijg, the senior author and chair of the genetics department at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, and his colleagues used a large database to argue that historic gains in human longevity are slowing to a crawl, perhaps because of inherent life span limits buried in our genome. .
