genotoxic chemical induced apoptosis variantWBPhenotype:0000386mutagen induced apoptosis variant

Programmed cell death of germ cells caused by exposure to DNA-damaging chemical agents does not occur to the same extent as it does in control animals.

apoptosis variantWBPhenotype:0000730programmed cell death variant

Animals exhibit variations in any processes that influence the programmed cell death pathway. Induction of the apoptotic pathway triggers the activity of proteolytic caspases, which in turn lead to th...

Animals exhibit an increase in the extent of activation of programmed cell death by exposure to the nucleic acid damaging agent, gamma irradiation, compared to control.

UV induced apoptosis decreasedWBPhenotype:0001756cell UV response variant

Programmed cell death caused by UV radiation is reduced compared to control animals. In C. elegans, this is often measured in the pachytene region of the gonad.

gamma ray induced apoptosis decreasedWBPhenotype:0001896apoptosis reduced

Animals exhibit a decrease in the extent of activation of programmed cell death by exposure to the nucleic acid damaging agent, gamma irradiation, compared to control.

Neuroprotective eremophilane sesquiterpenoids from Ligularia species attenuate glutamate-induced oxidative stress via MAPK signaling.PMID:42826807
Journal of ethnopharmacology2026-01-01

Ligularia species (Asteraceae) have long been used in traditional East Asian medicine for the treatment of pain and inflammatory disorders. Although neuroprotection is not among their documented traditional indications, the close relationship among i...

Adaptation to heat stress by diversification of the vertebrate heat shock transcription factor family.PMID:42817629
Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences2026-01-01

Cells survive and reproduce by coping with acute or chronic exposure to a fixed elevated temperature or fluctuating temperatures. These properties are one of the main evolutionary forces and involve the heat shock response. This response is character...

Developmental exposure to environmentally relevant bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) impairs host defense and disrupts epidermal immune and barrier responses in Caenorhabditis elegans.PMID:42810663
Environmental research2026-01-01

Bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP), an emerging oligomeric organophosphate ester, has been increasingly detected in the environment. However, its effects on host defense at environmentally relevant concentrations remain unclear. Using Caenorha...

Assessing the toxicological effects of synthetic musk ketone using the Caenorhabditis elegans model.PMID:42786522
BMC pharmacology & toxicology2026-01-01

Synthetic musk ketone (MK) is extensively used in perfumes, cosmetics, and detergents. Due to its high lipophilicity, persistence, and limited removal efficiency in wastewater treatment, MK has been detected in various environmental matrices and huma...

Erigeron breviscapus alleviates senescence via AMPK-SIRT1 signaling by modulating FOXO3a-mediated antioxidant defense and p53-dependent apoptosis.PMID:42789189
Biogerontology2026-01-01

Erigeron breviscapus Hand-Mazz. (EBHM) is a well-documented herbal medicine with recognized antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, and anti-inflammatory bioactivities. However, its anti-senescence effects and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood....

Disruption in absorption and metabolism of folate mediates DNA damage activated germline apoptosis in 6-PPD quinone exposed Caenorhabditis elegans.PMID:42680056
Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)2026-01-01

Exposure to 6-PPD quinone (6-PPDQ) causes both reproductive toxicity and metabolic disruption; however, metabolic basis of 6-PPDQ reproductive toxicity remains unclear. Folate absorption and metabolism are essential for cells by providing one-carbon ...

Environmentally Relevant Polylactic Acid Microplastics from 3D Printing Induce Germline Apoptosis and Reproductive Decline in Caenorhabditis elegans.PMID:42619817
bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology2026-01-01

Bio-based plastics, such as polylactic acid, offer an alternative to petroleum-based plastics and a prospect to address the plastic pollution problem. While mounting evidence suggests that microplastics pose a human health threat, the risk posed by b...

A conserved vesicular circuit enables metabolic adaptation and maintains systemic heme homeostasis.PMID:42620181
bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology2026-01-01

Metabolic homeostasis depends on adaptive control of intracellular metabolite flux, yet how such control is reconfigured when canonical transport pathways fail is unknown. Here we define a conserved vesicular circuit that preserves systemic heme bala...

Apoptosis promotes fertility in Caenorhabditis elegans by maintaining functional germline morphology.PMID:42592750
Development (Cambridge, England)2026-01-01

Programmed cell death (apoptosis) during oogenesis is conserved across metazoans and linked to regulation of oocyte number and quality. In oogenic germlines, the removal of developing oocytes by apoptosis ensures that oocytes do not contain DNA damag...

supportsEOR-1regulationWAH-1

Specifically, we find EOR-1/PLZF positively regulates Apoptosis Inducing Factor homolog WAH-1 during CCE.

supportsdaf-16regulationlipl-4

The adverse outcome pathways revealed that BDCPP disrupted germline stem cells (GSCs) apoptosis, transmitting reproductive signals through the kri-1-daf-16-lipl-4 signaling cascade, impairing TG hydrolysis and lifespan, while TDCPP acted through a GSC-independent route.

supportsCEP-1regulationegl-1

In contrast, DNA-damage triggers a robust CEP-1/p53-dependent-induction of egl-1 throughout the germline, yet apoptosis occurs only in late pachytene cells.

supportscep-1regulationced-3

Additionally, DCHP exposure led to a reduction in both the number of eggs laid and the number of fertilized eggs, which was associated with the upregulation of apoptosis-related genes (cep-1, ced-3, ced-4 and ced-9).

We show that somatic apoptosis is driven by precise, lineage-specific activation of egl-1, whereas ced-9, ced-4, and ced-3 are ubiquitously expressed.
