Factors

We need to know every factor which determines lifespan.

Lifespan factors often but not always originate from defined genetic elements. They are not just genes, by definition they can be anything for which a Classifications schema can be build for that is related to the regulation of lifespan, such entities may include Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism, transcript variants, proteins and their complexes, compounds (i.e. small molecules like metabolites and drugs), etc. A factor should be based on a defined molecular entity or genomic position and been classified. It shall be highly flexible and scalable Concept.

While individual lifespan factors within each species or precise defined molecular entities will be captured within the Lifespan App, Data Entries of the Data App may summarize for instance the relevance of each factor class (e.g. homologous group; chemical derivate of related structure and properties, etc.) as well as draw overall conclusions. o

    mir-277 Constitutive miR-277 expression shortens lifespan and synthetically lethal with reduced insulin signaling, indicating that metabolic control underlies this phenotype. Transgenic inhibition with a miRNA sponge construct also shortens lifespan [23669073]. miR-277 is downregulated during adult life [23669073]. mir-277 controls branched-chain amino acid catabolism and as a result it can modulate the activity of TOR kinase [23669073]. Fruit fly
    CG3776 Both overexpression and underexpression of CG3776 (alias Jhebp29) reduces the mean lifespan, where the reduction in males is slightly higher. The lifespan of male flies with under- and overexpressed CG3776 is reduced by 38.8 and 42.6%, respectively when compared with Oregon R flies.The lifespan of female flies with under- and overexpressed CG3776 is reduced by 31.6 and 35%, respectively when compared to Oregon R flies. Among the males and females, relatively to Oregon R and EP835/CyO, the age-specific survival of EP835/EP835 and EP835/Gal4 is reduced in both log-rank and Wilcoxon tests (P < 0.001); survival of EP835/EP835 and EP835/Gal4 differed using the log-rank-test (male: P<0.001; female: P=0.027) [18275960]. Fruit fly
    pyk-1 PYruvate Kinase 1 RNA interference of pyk-1 during adulthood significantly shortens the lifespan of both wild-type and eat-2 mutants. RNAi knockdown of pyk-1 from hatching causes larval lethality. PYK-1 is downregulated in eat-2 mutants [22810224]. pyk-1(ok1754) mutation extends the lifespan and this effect is non-additive with the lifespan extension mediated by DDS treatment [20974969]. Nematode
    nlp-7 Neuropeptide-Like Protein nlp-7 RNAi or overexpression reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under AL. nlp-7 RNAi significantly reduces extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants, but failed to block lifespan extension of age-1 or clk-1 mutants. Lifespan of nlp-7 mutants increases only moderately by sDR [19783783]. nlp-7 expression is induced under DR via the use of a chemically defined axenic medium [17023606] and by sDR [19783783]. Nematode
    cup-4 Coelomocyte UPtake defective 4 cup-4 RNAi or overexpession reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under AL. cup-4 RNAi significantly reduces the extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants, but failed to block lifespan extension of age-1 or clk-1 mutants. Lifespan of cup-4 mutants increases only moderately by sDR [19783783]. Nematode
    CCR4 Carbon Catabolite Repression 4 Deletion of CCR4 increases mean chronological lifespan by 20 - 41% (20, 33, 41) in diploid cells [21447998]. In W303R CCR4 deletion shortens replicative lifespan by approximately 80% and results in temperature sensitivity that is suppressed by SSD1-V. SSD1-V partially suppresses the short-lifespan of ccr4 mutant. CCR4 mutation is synthetically lethal in combination with deletion of MPT5 in the absence of SSD1-V [11805047]. Budding yeast
    RPL6A Ribosomal Protein of the Large subunit 6A Deletion of RPL6A decrease mean replicative lifespan by 25% in the alpha strain [18340043; 18423200], but increases mean replicative lifespan by 40% in the remade strain. Its deletion non-significantly increases mean replicative lifespan in the ORF collection [22377630]. Budding yeast
    GTS1 Glycine Threonine Serine repeat protein 1 Deletion or overexpression of GTS1 shortens replicative lifespan significantly and slightly, respectively (wt:26, Delta:16 and OE:24) [8573138]. Budding yeast
    PMR1 High affinity Ca2+/Mn2+ P-type ATPase required for Ca2+ and Mn2+ transport into Golgi; involved in Ca2+ dependent protein sorting and processing; mutations in human homolog ATP2C1 cause acantholytic skin condition Hailey-Hailey disease Deletion of PMR1 increses the replicative lifespan by 40% in the alpha strain and by 15% in the a strain. Overexpression of PMR1 extends the lifespan [21918615]. Budding yeast
    NDE1 NADH Dehydrogenase, External 1 Overexpression of NDE1 and NDE2 increases intracellular NAD/NADH ratio by lowering NADH concentration and increases replicative lifespan by 20-25%. This lifespan extension is non-additive 0.5% glucose restriction [14724176]. Deletion of NDE1 extends chronological lifespan [16436509]. Budding yeast
    IPT1 InositolPhosphoTransferase 1 Transposon-mediated mutation of IPT1 increases oxidative stress resistance and chronological lifespan by 40% [16527275]. IPT1 deletion decreases replicative lifespan by 30% in the alpha strain [19030232]. Budding yeast
    GCN4 Transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthetic genes in response to amino acid starvation; expression is tightly regulated at both the transcriptional and translational levels Deletion of GCN4 increases the replicative lifespan by 10% in the alpha strain [19030232]. GCN4 deletion decreases the lifespan in the alpha and a strain [20657825]. The chronological lifespan of GCN4 deletion is strongly decreased in the a strain [20421943]. Budding yeast
    ERG5 ERGosterol biosynthesis 5 Deletion of ERG5 decreases replicative lifespan by 35% in the a strain [18340043], but increases mean chronological lifespan by 26 - 116% (26, 40, 43, 62, 116) in diploid cells [21447998]. Deletion of ERG5 cancels out the replicative lifespan extension of 0.5% glucose restriction [18690010]. Budding yeast
    ATP1 ATP synthase 1 Deletion of ATP1 increases chronological lifespan by up to 50% [17492370], but decreases replicative lifespan by 70% in the alpha strain [18340043]. Budding yeast
    AFG3 ATPase Family Gene 3 Deletion of the mitochondrial AAA protease AFG3 increases replicative lifespan by 20% in the alpha and a strains [18340043], but decreases chronological lifespan by 37 - 51% in diploid cells [21447998]. AFG3 deletion changes mean, median and maximum lifespan by 15 to 26% 17 to 30% and -25 to +58%, respectively. AFG3 deletion leads to reduced cytoplasmic mRNA translation and its lifespan extension is independent of Sir2 and Hac1, but requires Gcn4. AFG3 deletion further extends the lifespan of cell deficient in both SIR2 and FOB1, but fails to extend the lifespan of dietary restricted cells or cells lacking GCN4. Gcn4 protein levels are increased in afg3 mutants. The deletion of AFG3 fails to extend the replicative lifespan in the W303AR strain. AFG3 deletion does deletion extend the replicative lifespan at 15°C. Budding yeast
    W09C5.8 RNAi against W09C5.8 increases mean and maximum lifespan by 62% and 50%, respectively [12447374]. Lifespan extension by RNAi of W09C5.8 is not suppressed by daf-16. Loss of W09C5.8 activity via RNAi can also result in a shortened lifespan, reduced fertility and defects in mitochondrial respiratory chain function [19074434]. W09C5.8 RNAi animals have lower ATP content and oxygen consumption [12447374]. Nematode
    Trp53 Transformation related protein 53 Mice heterozyogous for an allele of p53 that removes the 5' portion of the protein demonstrate decreased cancer, permature aging phenotypes, and shortened lifespan in the mixed inbred C57BL/6–129/Sv background. It has been proposed that the this allele of p53 results in increased activity/overexpression [11780111]. Decreased activity of Trp53 results in increased cancer and decreased apoptosis. Mutant mice with activated Trp53 display enhanced resistance to spontaneous tumours and signs of premature ageing including reduced lifespan, osteoporosis, organ atrophy and a diminished stress tolerance [11780111]. However, super-p53 mice generate by a transgenic copy of a large genomic segment containing an intact and complete copy of p53 have an ehanced response to DNA damage, are significantly protected from cancer and had no indication of accelerated aging [12426394]. super-Ink4a/Arf/p53 mice have a synergic protection against cancer and delayed aging [Workshop RoSyBa 2011]. House mouse
    old-1 Overexpression Longevity Determinant Overexpression of old-1 in transgenic animals increases mean and maximum lifespan by 40-100% (average 65%) and 97%, respectively. old-1 overexpression of increases stress resistance (to heat by 20% and ultraviolet irradiation by 33%) without altering development or fertility. Effects of old-1 on lifespan and stress resistance is under regulation of daf-16 [9768365]. old-1 mRNA levels are upregulated in response to stress and in daf-2 as well as age-1 mutant backgrounds [11591319]. old-1 expression is downregulated in daf-2 mutants [12845331]. old-1 RNAi in an rrf-3 mutant background slightly extends lifespan [12845331]. old-1 is expressed in the anterior region of the worm, in neuronal, hypodermal and pharyngeal tissues as well in the proximal region in the male gonad. Its expression is detectable in young adults and appears to increase as animals age and in response to heat, starvation, or UV irradiation. Nematode
    SSD1 Suppressor of SIT4 Deletion 1 Overexpression of SSD1 (addition of a SSD1-V allele) increases replicative lifespan by 50%, independently of SIR2 and SIR2 further extends the lifespan, although SIR2 is necessary for SSD1-V cells to attain maximal lifespan [15126388]. SSD1-V also dramatically increases chronological lifespan with lifespan twice as long as ssd1-d cells [19570907]. Deletion of SSD1 increases replicative lifespan by 50% [Li et al., 2009]. Addition of SSD1-V allele to an ssd1-d strain suppresses the short lifespan of an MPT5 deletion mutant [11805047] and extend wild-type lifespan [Kaeberlein and Guarente, unpublished]. SSD1-V slightly extends the lifespan of swi4 and ccr4 mutant strains and suppresses the temperature sensitive growth phenotype of mpt5, ccr3, swi4, and swi6 single mutants [11805047]. SSD1-V also suppresses the synthetic lethality caused by deletion of MPT5 in combination with a mutation in SWI4, SWI6, or CCR4 [11805047]. SSD1-V suppresses mutations that affect cell wall stability [1545797; 8386319], RNA polymerase III activity [8510644], RNA splicing [10446233], and PKA activity [1848673; 8200529]. Budding yeast
    SNF1 Sucrose NonFermenting 1 Forced overexpression (high-copy 2 micro expression) of SNF1 shortens replicative lifespan to 75% of wild-type and is accompanied by signs of premature ageing, including progressive sterility, enlargement and fragmentation of the nucleus, redistribution of Sir3 to the nucleus, and more rapid accumulation of extrachromosomal rDNA circles [10921902]. SNF1 overexpression also reduced chronological lifespan [19164565]. Deletion of SNF1 increases replicative lifespan by 50% in the alpha strain [19030232], but decreases chronological lifespan [21076178]. Budding yeast
    RAS2 Ras-like protein 2 Overexpression of RAS2 causes a 43% increase in mean and 18% increase in maximum lifespan as well as postpones the age-related increase in generation time. RAS2 deletion causes a 23% decrease in mean and a 30% decrease in maximum lifespan [8034612]. Deletion of RAS2 leads to a longer chronological lifespan [21076178]. Deletion of the RAS2 gene, which functions upstream of CYR1, doubles the mean chronological lifespan by a mechanism that requires Msn2/4 and Sod2 [12586694]. DR further extends chronological lifespan of ras2Delta [18225956]. Budding yeast
    p53 Overexpression of wild-type p53 during adult life has no significant effect on lifespan. Expression of dominant-negative versions of p53 in adult neurons extends lifespan by 58% in females and by 32% in males and increases resistance to genotoxic stress and resistance to oxidative stress, but not to starvation or heat stress, while not affecting egg production or physical activity. Dominant negative p53 expression cancels out lifespan extension effect of DR, low calorie-food (5% SY). Muscle or fat body specific expression of a dominant negative form of p53 as well as globally lack of p53 decreases lifespan [16303568]. Loss of p53 activity slightly shortens the lifespan. Mutants that lack p53 survive well up to 50 days, but mortality rate increases relative to wild-type at later ages. p53 mutant animals are extremely sensitive to irradiation [12935877]. Expression of dominant-negative (DN) form of p53 in adult neurons, but not in muscle or fat body cells, extends median lifespan by 19% and maximum lifespan by 8%. The lifespan of dietary-restricted flies is not further extended by simultaneously expressing DN-DMp53 in the nervous system, indicating that a decrease in Dmp53 activity may be part of the DR lifespan-extending effect. Selective expression of DN-Dmp53 in only the 14 insulin-producing cell (IPCs) in the brain extends lifespan to the same extent as expression in all neurons and this lifespan extension is not additive with DR [17686972]. Fruit fly
    mdh-1 Malate DeHydrogenase RNAi against mdh-1 decreases median lifespan by 10% in wild type animals and by 16% in daf-2 mutants [18006689]. mdh-1 RNAi started after the animal reached the late L4 stage increases mean and maximum lifespan by 4-27% and 9% [22103665]. Nematode
    ins-1 INSulin related Increased dosage of ins-1 under its own promoter as well as a heat shock promoter increases lifespan by 25% and is also able to increase the lifespan of daf-2 mutants [11274053]. ins-1 RNAi increases lifespan by 20%. ins-1 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 animals [12845331]. Overexpression of ins-1 also causes an increase in dauer formation and can enhance the dauer formation of daf-2 mutants [11274053]. Nematode
    glp-1 abnormal Germ Line Proliferation glp-1(qu158) mutations result in defects in germ-line proliferation and extension of lifespan by about 30%, which requires daf-16 [11799246]. glp-1(bn18) mutation increases mean, median, 75th %ile and maximum lifespan by 27-37, 26-33, 24-29 and 35%, respectively [22560223]. glp-1(e2141) mutation increases mean (32%) and maximum (53%) lifespan [18828672]. Two alleles of glp-1 that cause overproliferation of gemrline cells, glp-1(oz112gf) and glp-1(q485), result in a shortened lifespan [11799246]. In glp-1 mutants, Z2 and Z3 generate only a few germ cells, which enter meiosis and differentiate as sperm [3677168]. Nematode
