对寿命的测量贯穿于衰老研究。由于寿命是遗传、环境和随机因素之间复杂相互作用的结果,因此即使在同基因个体之间,寿命也有很大差异。因此,分子机制对寿命的作用只能通过它们对种群的统计效应来观察。C. elegans对衰老的进化保守决定因素提供了重要的见解。为了能够以任意统计分辨率快速获取存活曲线,我们开发了一个可扩展的成像和分析平台,以8 μm分辨率在平方米的琼脂表面上观察线虫数周。该方法生成一个永久的视觉记录的个人死亡,从生存曲线的构建和验证,产生的数据与手动方法在标准和压力环境中的几个突变体一致。我们的方法允许快速,详细的反向遗传和化学筛选对生存的影响,并使定量调查的统计结构老化。
The measurement of lifespan pervades aging research. Because lifespan results from complex interactions between genetic, environmental and stochastic factors, it varies widely even among isogenic individuals. The action of molecular mechanisms on lifespan is therefore visible only through their statistical effects on populations. Survival assays in C. elegans provided critical insights into evolutionarily conserved determinants of aging. To enable the rapid acquisition of survival curves at arbitrary statistical resolution, we developed a scalable imaging and analysis platform to observe nematodes over multiple weeks across square meters of agar surface at 8 μm resolution. The method generates a permanent visual record of individual deaths from which survival curves are constructed and validated, producing data consistent with the manual method for several mutants in both standard and stressful environments. Our approach allows rapid, detailed reverse-genetic and chemical screens for effects on survival and enables quantitative investigations into the statistical structure of aging.
