| D3ZWG6_RAT | — | D3ZWG6_RAT is transcriptional upregulated in the cerebral cortex at the age 28 months under different longevity conditions such as under dietary restriction (DR) as well as in feeding switch regimens that result in extended lifespan, like early age switch to DR as well as the reverse switch under the influence of the DR-mimetic α-lipoic acid (i.e. DR switched to ad libitum+ lipoic acid) [Shona et al. 2013]. | Norway rat |
| D4ACK9_RAT | — | D4ACK9_RAT is transcriptional upregulated in the cerebral cortex at the age 28 months under different longevity conditions such as under dietary restriction (DR) as well as in feeding switch regimens that result in extended lifespan, like early age switch to DR as well as the reverse switch under the influence of the DR-mimetic α-lipoic acid (i.e. DR switched to ad libitum+ lipoic acid) [Shona et al. 2013]. | Norway rat |
| D3ZTB8_RAT | — | D3ZTB8_RAT is transcriptional downregulated in the cerebral cortex at the age 28 months under different longevity conditions such as under dietary restriction (DR) as well as in feeding switch regimens that result in extended lifespan, like early age switch to DR as well as the reverse switch under the influence of the DR-mimetic α-lipoic acid (i.e. DR switched to ad libitum+ lipoic acid) [Shona et al. 2013]. | Norway rat |
| 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].

| Sir2 | — | Overexpression of Sir2 (alias dSir2) extends lifespan by up to 57% and specifically median lifespan by 40-60%, whereas a decrease in Sir2 activity by mutation blocks the life-extending effect of caloric reduction or rpd3 mutations [15520384]. rpd3 mutants fed normal food and wild-type fed a low-calorie diet increase dSir2 expression two-fold [12459580]. Sir2 mutation does not reduce lifespan under AL. Ubiquitous Sir2 overexpression causes a 4-fold increase in Sir2 mRNA expression and an up to 57% increase in average lifespan (29% for females and 18% for males). A 10 - 20% increase in Sir2 mRNA levels causes no lifespan extension. High levels of Sir2 protein is found in nuclei of neurons and in nuclei and cytoplasm of fat body cells. Neuronal Sir2 overexpression extends average lifespan by 52% in females and 20% in males. Motor-neuronal specific expression fails to cause lifespan extension. Flies with no or with several decreased Sir2 gene function have no lifespan extension under DR. DR fails to cause further increase in lifespan or even reduces lifespan toward normal of Sir2 overexpression mutants. Mild Sir2 overexpression in the fat-body extends lifespan and reduces relative body fat content in both males and females [22661237].
Sir2 in the adult fat body regulates longevity in a diet-depending manner. A diet-dependent lifespan phenotype of Sir2 perturbations (both knockdown and overexpression) in the fat-body, but not in muscles, negates the effects of background genetic mutants. Sir2 knockdown abrogates fat-body dFoxo-dependent lifespan extension [23246004].
Decreased expression of Sir2 and Sir2-like genes in all cells causes lethality during development. Suppression of the Sir2 in neurons decreases the median lifespan by 10-30%, while ubiquitinous silinecing of the Sir2-like genes shortens lifespan. The effects are server at 28°C that at 25°C [17159295]. | Fruit fly |
| Sirt2 | — | Decreased expression of Sirt2 by RNA interference causes lethality during development. Silencing in neurons shortened mean lifespan by 20% [17159295]. | Fruit fly |
| Sirt6 | — | Decreased expression of Sirt6 by RNA interference causes lethality during development. Sirt6 silencing in neurons shortens mean lifespan by 20% [17159295]. | Fruit fly |
| Aut1 | — | Aut1 depletion form the first day of imaginal stage shortens lifespan by 28% on average in Drosophila and causes morphological behavioural features of premature aging [18219227]. | Fruit fly |
| CG17856 | — | RNAi of CG17856 results in an increase in mean lifespan of 13-18% in females. In the case of males and post-developmental experiments the results are variable [19747824]. | Fruit fly |
| CG18809 | — | RNAi of CG18809 results in a 7-19% increase in mean lifespan of females, while neural RNAi results in an increased mean lifespan of up to 12% in females. For males the results are variable [19747824]. | Fruit fly |
| CG5389 | — | RNAi of complex V subunit CG5389 results in increased mean longevity under standard laboratory food conditions (3% yeast) in males. RNAi started from the development results in a mild lifespan increase in both sexes (3-11% in females and 3-8% in males). Post-developmental RNAi and silencing limited to neurons has variable effects with reduction in lifespan of up to 9% [19747824]. Under rich media conditions CG5389 knockdown throughout development and adulthood increases mean lifespan by 26% and abolished the lifespan extension by DR (started in the adulthood) in males. Suppression of CG5389 only during the adulthood either via RNAi by tub-GS or via oligomycin (a specific inhibitor of complex V) feeding prevents an increase in longevity under DR (started in the adulthood) in males [19968629]. | Fruit fly |
| CG9172 | — | RNAi against CG9172 increases mean lifespan in females by up to 4-12% when applied in both development and adulthood, and up to 46% when applied in adult neurons only. For males the effect is variable [19747824]. | Fruit fly |
| Edem1 | — | The mean lifespan of Edem1 mutants of both male and female is increased by more than 30% [19302370]. | Fruit fly |
| hebe | — | Adult-specific overexpression of hebe increases the lifespan by 5-30% and modulates late-age female fecundity. Female and male mean lifespan is up to 11% and 24% higher [19011900]. | 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].

| kermit | — | The disruption of kermit (alias dGIPC) function results in premature loss of locomotor activity and reduced mean lifespan [21029723]. | Fruit fly |
| Lnk | — | Loss of Lnk function results in increased median (14% in females and 17.5 in males) and maximum lifespan, reduced female fecundity and improves survival under conditions of oxidative stress and starvation. Heterozygousity does not result in any significant differences in lifespan in either males or females. Moreover, lifespan extension in one of the female homozygous mutant is fully rescued by the introduction of a Lnk genomic rescue construct [20333234]. | Fruit fly |
| magu | — | Adult-specific overexpression of magu increases lifespan by 5-30% and modulates late-age fecundity [19011900]. | Fruit fly |
| Pten | — | Increased Pten and 4E-BP activity in muscles is extends the lifespan [21111239]. | Fruit fly |
| Thor | — | Null mutation in Thor (alias d4E-BP) causes a significant decrease in longevity (-25% median lifespan in males). Thor is strongly upregulated during starvation. foxo and Thor null mutants are compromised in stress resistant. Stress resistance of foxo null mutants is rescued by Thor overexpression [16055649]. Thor is upregulated on the protein level in a foxo-independent manner upon DR, while it is transcriptional induced in a foxo-dependent fashion by starvation. Thor null mutants cancel out DR-induced lifespan extension, because mutants exhibit a diminished change in lifespan when nutrient conditions were varied. Ubiquitously expression of Thor rescued DR response in females and males. Thor null mutants have a wild-type similar reduction in egg production upon DR. Ubiquitously overexpression of wild-type Thor causes no change under AL, but an activated allele (with more than 3-fold increased binding activity to delF4E) significantly extends lifespan of females (weak allele) and females as well as males (strong allele). Mean lifespan is extended by 11 to 40%. Median lifespan of males and females is enhanced by by 11 and 22%, respectively. Maximum lifespan is extended by 16 and 18% for males and females, respectively. Under DR (0.25% YE) there is no lifespan extension, beyond the effect of DR alone, in all (wild-type, weak and strong) Thor alleles [19804760].
Lifespan of animals with increased Pten and 4E-BP activity in muscle exhibit and extended mean and maximum lifespan by 20% and 15.8% [21111239]. | Fruit fly |
| yata | — | yata mutation shortens the maximum lifespan by 68% and results in progressive deterioration of the nervous tissues and aberrant accumulation of Sec23 [19209226]. | Fruit fly |
| Spargel | — | Tissue-specific overexpression of dPGC-1 in stem and progenitor cells within the digestive tract of females flies extends the mean and maximum lifespan of females by up to 33% and 37%. Those mutants display a delay in the onset of aging-related changes in the intestine, leading to improved tissue homoeostasis in old flies [22055505]. | Fruit fly |
| mrps-5 | — | Knockdown of mrps-5 throughout the entire life increases the lifespan by 60%. mrps-5 RNAi prevents aging-associated functional decline and alters mitochondrial function. Knocking down mrps-5 after early development no longer affects nematode lifespan. When RNAi of mrps-5 was performed during the larval stages only, lifespan increases by 48%, whereas RNAi started from the L4 stage has no effect. mrps-5 RNAi results in fragmented mitochondria. mrps-5 RNAi increases lifespan by 40% in widltype, 37% in daf-16(mu86), 40% in sir-2.1(ok434) 69% in aak-2(ok524) and 112% in mev-1(kn1). Knockdown of cco-1 does not extend the lifespan of mrps-5 RNAi [23698443]. | Nematode |
| mrpl-1 | — | Knockdown of mrpl-1 increases lifespan by 57% [23698443]. | Nematode |
