Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(ISAS)), Sagamihara, Kanagawa Japan, To clarify the effects of the space environment on the aging rate of organisms, we are preparing the study of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in space as a model. We have investigated the effects of a 10-day space flight on an aging marker in the International C. elegans Experiment (ICE)-First, 2004. We examined the change in the polyglutamine (polyQ) aggregation in the transgenic C. elegans of (CAG)35 with yellow fluorescent protein under muscle myosin heavy chain promoter. The polyQ aggregation in space-flown worms was less than that in the ground control ones. We compared the gene expression levels between the ground control worms and the space-flown worms. Some nerve specific genes were down regulated in space-flown worms. We also examined the effects of the inactivation of these genes on lifespan of C. elegans. We found that the RNAi and/or mutation of each of the 7 genes extended the lifespan. These findings suggest that the aging rate of the space-flown nematodes may be slower than that of the ground control ones. We propose that the further study of aging of C. elegans in space. We also propose the other aging marker for the space experiment of C. elegans., 資料番号: AA0065129072}, pages = {195--196}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究所 (JAXA)(ISAS), Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)(ISAS)}, title = {宇宙環境における線虫の老化: WG平成22年度活動報告}, volume = {27}, year = {2011} }
