Extended Data Fig. 2. Effect of short-term rapamycin treatment on tissue-specific TORC1 activity and lifespan of flies over-expressing constitutively active S6K in the gut.
a-d, Rapamycin treatment initiated on day 30 down-regulated TORC1 activity within 48 h and terminating rapamycin treatment on day 30 de-repressed TORC1 activity back to the levels of control flies within 48 h in heads, muscle, fat body and gut. Data are mean ± s.e.m. One-way ANOVA; Tukey’s multiple comparison test. N = 3 biological replicates, each consisting of 15 flies. e-f, Chronic (p = 9.95 ×10-05) and short-term (p = 0.029) rapamycin treatment extended lifespan of control flies and of flies over-expressing constitutively active S6K in the gut (chronic: p = 0.002, short-term treatment: p = 0.02, see also Supplementary Table 4). N = 200 flies per experimental group. Log-rank test and CPH analysis.
