It was by pure chance that IL-11’s link to ageing was discovered, said first and co-corresponding author Anissa Widjaja from Duke-NUS’ cardiovascular and metabolic disorders programme in a media briefing on July 17.
In 2017, the team was studying the protein’s role in causing excessive scarring in the heart and kidney when tissue samples sent over by a collaborator piqued Assistant Professor Widjaja’s interest.
“Out of curiosity, I ran some experiments to check for IL-11 levels. From the readings, we could clearly see that the levels of IL-11 increased with age, and that’s when we got really excited,” she said.

Their study, published on July 17 in leading scientific journal Nature, demonstrated in a pre-clinical model that a therapy countering the effects of IL-11 not only slowed ageing but also increased lifespan in mice. 👌
If it can work..
IL-11 acts like an alarm system that perceives the body’s damaged cells as a kind of infection, triggering an immune system response, resulting in inflammation in old age.
“It’s like pouring petrol on a fire, and ageing will be accelerated with IL-11 in all the body’s organs,” said Prof Widjaja.
In 2020, the research team conducted a 25-week experiment with mice.
They injected an anti-IL-11 drug into 75-week-old mice – as an equivalent to 55-year-old humans. They then looked at what happened to the mice at 100 weeks of age, when they were as old as 70-year-old humans.

The team found that their metabolism improved, shifting from generating white fat to beneficial brown fat.
Brown fat breaks down blood sugar and fat molecules to help maintain body temperature and burn calories.
Improved muscle function and an increased lifespan by up to 25 per cent were also observed.
“IL-11 is like a master switch for ageing. Anti-IL-11 therapy blocks the switch from being turned on, which means pathways to ageing are inhibited,” said Prof Widjaja.
She added that the anti-IL-11 drug has a good safety profile and no observed toxicity in pre-clinical trials.

An increase in the number of healthy elderly individuals within a society can be advantageous due to their accumulated wisdom, financial stability, and emotional maturity.
Their presence can positively influence and guide the younger generation, contributing to their successful development.
