Genetic mechanisms of the influence of light and phototransduction on Drosophila melanogaster lifespan by I. A. Solovev, M. V. Shaposhnikov, A. A. Moskalev

“…Over the long period of the evolution of light signal transduction systems, many mechanisms have emerged that allow to form an adequate response of the organism to illumination, modulating the highly conservative signaling cascades, including those associated with aging and lifespan (FOXO, SIRT1, NF-kB, mTOR/S6k, PPARa, etc). In this review, we consider the relationship between lifespan, photoregimens, and also the expression of the genes encoding the phototransduction cascade and the circadian oscillator elements of animal cells. …”
