摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition for controlling aging and/or extending lifespan. More specifically, the present invention relates to a composition containing dapsone as an effective component for controlling aging and/or extending lifespan, in which when applying the composition according to the present invention to an object, the effect of controlling aging or extending lifespan is excellent. Specifically, the treatment of dapsone (DDS) increases the lifespan of C. elegans not depending upon daf-16 and delays aging process, and reduces the activity of cytoplasmic dual oxidase 1 (Duox1) and mitochondria complex V protein. In addition, dapsone can maintain the low oxygen uptake rate in C. elegans thereby reducing ROS formation. In addition, ROS production by paraquat that is an inducing material of oxidative stress is reduced by treating dapsone and the sensitivity of paraquat is reduced. Moreover, it can be known that pyruvate kinase is a target material of dapsone through the structural prediction, molecular and biochemical analysis. In addition, there is an effect that the recovery of mitochondria function that is reduced and the decrease of NOX expression in a cell are obtained by dapsone in the human diploid fibroblast. From the comprehensive results, it can be known that dapsone has an excellent effect for extending lifespan in a cell level and object level.
