Disentangling mTOR signalling from the lifespan extending effect of dietary restriction in progeroid DNA-repair deficient mice
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Dietary restriction (DR) and rapamycin, the best-known DR-mimetic, are two intervention that extend health- and lifespan across multiple species. We have recently shown that DR works extremely well in progeroid DNA repair deficient mice and dramatically extend their lifespan by ~200%. We next questioned the applicability of rapamycin in these mouse mutants. Here we show that treatments with rapamycin did significantly lower mTOR-signalling but did not improve the lifespan of DNA repair deficient Ercc1{delta}/- mice.
