Tissue entrainment by feedback regulation of insulin gene expression in the endoderm of Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract

How are the rates of aging of different tissues coordinated? In Caenorhabditis elegans , decreasing insulin/IGF-1 signaling extends lifespan by activating the transcription factor DAF-16/FOXO. If DAF-16 levels are experimentally increased in one tissue, such as the intestine, DAF-16 activity in other tissues rises. Here we test the hypothesis that this “FOXO-to-FOXO” signaling occurs via feedback regulation of ins-7 insulin gene expression. We find that DAF-16 regulates ins-7 expression in the intestine, and that preventing this regulation blocks FOXO-to-FOXO signaling from the intestine to other tissues. Our findings show that feedback regulation of insulin gene expression coordinates DAF-16 activity among the tissues, and they establish the intestine, which is the animal's entire endoderm, as an important insulin-signaling center.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
