Form and function of actin impacts actin health and aging - snRNAseq
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The actin cytoskeleton is a highly conserved structural network that supports diverse cellular processes, but its contribution to organismal aging is not well understood. This project investigates how genetic and pharmacological perturbations of actin and actin-binding proteins influence global gene expression and aging phenotypes in Caenorhabditis elegans. Whole-animal RNA interference was used to knock down key actin regulatory genes, including arx-2 (Arp2/3 complex), unc-60 (cofilin), and lev-11 (tropomyosin). Here single-nucleus RNA sequencing was performed to assess transcriptional responses to actin cytoskeletal disruption across tissues and age groups (Day 1 and Day 5). These datasets capture transcriptomic signatures associated with actin dysfunction, aging trajectories, and stress responses, and provide a resource for exploring the molecular links between cytoskeletal integrity and longevity regulation.
