Research Abstract |
Transcription factor FOXO1 is known to be involved in lifespan extension and anti-aging; however, the molecular mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we found that FOXO1 contributes to tlanslesion DNA synthesis, which serves as the DNA damage response against ultra violet (UV) irradiation. Furthermore, genetic analysis using C. elegans showed that FOXO1/DAF-16 plays a crucial role in UV resistance during larval development. Our finding will help to elucidate the anti-aging mechanism of FOXO1.
