BMAL1 controls the mTOR pathway to slow down aging

AI simplified

Abstract

BMAL1 deficiency is associated with a 50% increase in lifespan of treated mice.

  • Increased activity of the mTORC1 pathway occurs with BMAL1 deficiency in both living organisms and cell cultures.
  • Elevated mTOR signaling is linked to accelerated aging.
  • The mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin effectively increases lifespan in BMAL1-deficient mice.
  • BMAL1 may function as a negative regulator of mTORC1 signaling.
  • Circadian clock regulation of the mTOR pathway through BMAL1 could play a role in aging and metabolism.
