Abstract

Abstract:

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) was used as an animal model to study the effect of (–)-5-hydroxy-equol, a microbial metabolite of isoflavone genistein, on the lifespan, fecundity and resistance against thermal and oxidative stress. The results showed that (–)-5-hydroxy-equol not only significantly increased the lifespan of C. elegans but alsosignificantly enhanced the resistance against thermal and oxidative stress at the concentrations of 0.1 mmol/L and 0.2 mmol/L. However, the fecundity ofC.elegans was not obviously influenced after being exposed to the same concentrations of (–)-5-hydroxy-equol. Furtherstudieson comparative transcriptome analyses and the lifespan of daf-16 (mu86) mutant and daf-2 (e1370) mutantindicated that(–)-5-hydroxy-equol prolonged the lifespan of C.elegansthrough DAF-2/DAF-16 Insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathway.This is the first report that (–)-5-hydroxy-equol was able to increase the lifespan and improve the thermal and oxidative stress tolerance of C. elegans.

Key words: (–)-5-Hydroxy-equol, Caenorhabditis elegans, Lifespan, Thermal stress, Oxidative stress, Fecundity, Insulin/IGF-1 signaling pathwa
