Effect of L-theanine treatment on the L3 arrest and lifespan of UVC-exposed C. elegans deleted in autophagy, mitophagy, mitochondrial dynamics, and UPR^mt genes. (A–C) Mutations in autophagy gene (unc-51), mitophagy genes (pink-1 and pdr-1), fusion genes (fzo-1 and eat-3), fission gene (drp-1), and UPR^mt genes (atfs-1, haf-1, and ubl-5) did not affect L3 arrest in UVC-exposed C. elegans treated with L-theanine. (D–G) Mutations in mitophagy genes (pdr-1), fission gene (drp-1), and UPR^mt genes (atfs-1 and haf-1) did not affect the lifespan in UVC-exposed C. elegans treated with L-theanine. Results are means ± SD (3 independent experiments, t-test).
