    Homozygous Prdx1 knockout Homozygous Prdx1 knockout mice have a lifespan significant shorter than +/+ and +/- littermates and develop severe haemolytic anaemia and several malignant cancers (starting at about 9 months of age) [12891360] Mouse
    Homozygous knock-in of proof-reading deficient Polg Mice with a proof-reading-deficient version of Polg display an increased amount of mtDNA mutations (by 3 to 5-fold) and signs of premature ageing including a reduced lifespan, weight loss, reduced subcutaneous fat, alopecia, kyphosis, osteoporosis, anaemia, reduced fertility, and heart enlargement. Median lifespan of homozyous Polg mutant knock-in mice is 48 months [15164064]. Mouse
    Hells mutation A hypomorphic deletion of helicase domains 3, 4 and part of 2, leads to expression of a C-terminal truncated Hells protein causing an extremely short lifespan. with 60% of homozyogous mutants dying after birth and remaining 40% surviving up to seven weeks (around 25 days) [15105378]. Hells disruption results in genomic hypomethylation, de-repression of silenced genes, and premature aging, characterized by decreased proliferation, increased replicative senescence, and altered expression of Bmi-1 and p16INK4a. Hells mutant exhibit significant hypoglycemia, low birth weight and growth retardation, and signs of premature aging such as greying hair and balding, reduced fat deposition, unstable gait, cachexia, and kyphosis [15105378]. Mouse
    Homozygous Shc1 knockout Homozygous Shc1 knockout mice have an 28% increase in mean lifespan [10580504]. p66shc-/- cells are more resistant to apoptosis induced by hydrogen peroxide and UV light. p66shc-/- mice aremore restante to oxidative stress induced by paraquat [10580504]. Mouse +28
    Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout mice have an 7% increase in mean lifespan [10580504]. Mouse +7
    Msra knockout Msra homozygous knockouts exhibit a 40% shorter lifespan than wild-type or heterozygotes (C57BL/6J). Msra -/- mice have enhanced sensitivity to oxidative stress, accumulatehigher levels of protein cabronyls, and demonstrate and atypical walking pattern [11606777]. Mouse -40
    p53 deletion mutation Mice heterozyogous for an allele of p53 that removes the 5' portion of the protein demonstrate decreased cancer, permature aging phenotypes, and shortened lifespan [11780111]. Mouse
    Klotho disruption Klotho disruption results in infertility and signs of premature ageing such as a short lifespan, arteriosclerosis, skin atrophy, osteoporosis, and emphysema. Klotho is highly expressed in brain and kidney [10631108]. The circulating form of Klotho binds to a cell-surface receptor and represses intracellular signals of insulin and IGF1. Perturbing insulin and IGF1 alleviates the aging-like phenotypes in Klotho-deficient mice [16123266]. kl/kl mice initially develop normally but exhibit growth retardation starting at 3-4 weeks of age. Their average lifespan is 61 days (none more than 100 days). These mice gradually become inactive, with reduced stride length, atrophic genital organs, thymus atrophy, arteriosclerosis (medial calcification and intimal thickening), ectopic calcification in arterial walls, osteroposis, skin atrophy, impaired maturation of gonadal cells, emphysema, reduced growth hormone-producing cells in the pituitary gland, slight hypercalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia [9363890]. kl/kl mice have decreased insulin production and increased insulin sensitivity [11016890]. Mouse
    Heterozyogous fat-specific Insr knockout (FIRKO) Deletion of Insr specifically in adipose tissue results in a 15-18% increase in mean, median and maximum lifespan. Fat-specific insulin-receptor knockout (FIRKO) reduces fat mass and protects against age-related obesity and its subsequent metabolic abnormality, without an decrease in food intake. Both male and female FIRKO mice have an increase in mean lifespan of around 134 days (18%), with parallel increases in median and maximum lifespan. FIRKO mice consume the same amount of food on per animal basis as control littermates, but have 15-25% lower body-mass and 50-70% reduced fat mass [12543978]. Disruption of Insr in all tissues reults in neonatal lethality [8612577]. Mouse +15 to +18 +15 to +18 +15 to +18
    Igf1r knockout Homozygous null mutation of Igf1r is lethal at birth [8402901]. Mice heterozygous for IGF1R live 26% longer. Female Igf1r(+/-) mice have 33% longer mean lifespan, whereas male mice exhibit an increase in mean lifespan of 16% (not statistically significant). Long-lived Igf1r+/- mice do not develop dwarfism, have normal energy metabolism, food and water intake, unaffected nutrient uptake, physical activity, glucose regulation, serum insulin and glucose, fertility and reproduction [12483226]. Heterozygous Igf1r mutants are more resistant to paraquat and mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from them are more resistant to hydrogen peroxide [8402901]. Mouse +16 to 33
    Ghrhr knockout Homozygosity for the Ghrhr(lit) knockout mutation (called little mouse) lowers plasma growth hormone levels, impairs growth and increases lonegevity about 20% [11371619]. Lit homozygous animals are smaller than normal mice [1270792] and their pituitary is defective in growth hormone and prolactin [978118]. Mouse +20
    Pou1f1 knockout Snell dwarf mutation (Pit1dw) due to knockout of Pou1f1 results in a dramatic lifespan extension. The mean, median and maximum lifespan is increased by 40-50% for Snell dwarf (Pit1dw/Pit1dw) DW/J females, and 25-50% for dwarf DWC3F1 males and females with a compound heterozygous Pit1dw/Pit1dw-J genotype. Although, Snell dwarf (Pit1dw/Pit1dw) DW/J males exhibit aspects of delayed senescence, their median lifespan is by about 25% shorter, probably due to the affects of housing conditions [11718806]. Mice homozygous for loss-of-function mutations at Pit1 locus have a mean and maximum lifespan extension over 40%. Mutant dwJ/dw animals exhibit delays in age-dependent collagen cross-linking and in six age-senstive indices of immune system status. Pituitary transplantation into dwarf mice does not reverse the lifespan extension effect. Male Snell dwarf mice become obese and exhibit proportionately high leptin levels in old age [11371619]. Mouse +25 to +50 +25 to +50 +25 to +50
    Prop1 knockout Knockouts of Prop1 are dwarf (hence called the Ames dwarf mice) but live approximately 1 year longer than controls. Mean lifespan of males and females is extended by 49 and 68%, respectively Ames dwarf mice are small due to retarded post-natal growth and have primary pituitary deficiency consisting of the absence of, or extreme reduction in, anterior pituitary cells which produces growth hormone, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone, and consequently a deficiency in these hormones. Levels of IGF1 is also extreme low in Ames dwarf mice [8900272]. Mouse +49 to +68
    Replacement of Cebpa by Cebpb Replacing the Cebpa gene by Cebpb increases mean lifespan by about 20% [15289464]. C/ebpalpha(beta/beta) animals consume more food but weight less than controls [10982846], and have a slightly elevated body temperature (0.3-0.5 degree Celsius) [15289464]. Mouse +20
    Bub1b mutation Bub1b mutation decreases median lifespan by 60% (from 15 to 6 months). Bub1b mutant mice develop many phenotypes suggestive of accelerated aging, including: progressive bilateral cataracts, substantial loss of sub dermal adipose tissue, spinal kyphosis, muscle atrophy, and decreased wound healing. Moreover, there is a pronounced increase in senescent associated Beta-galactosidase expression in late generation Bub1b mutant mice, indicative of increased rate of cellular senscence. Homozyogous knockout of Bub1b results in lethality, while heterozygous animals exhibit no aging phenotypes [15208629]. Mouse -60
    Cisd2 knockout Cisd2 knockout shortens lifespan resulting in premature aging [19451219]. Mouse
    Gh antagonist overexpression Overexpression of a growth hormone antagonist (a mutated bovine growth hormone that competes with the endogenous one) has no effect on lifespan [12933651]. Mouse
    Prkar2b knockout Loss of function of Prkar2b results in mice that are lean and insulin sensitive. Both median and maximum lifespan is increased by 14%. Median lifespan is increasesd (from 884 to 1005) and 80% lifespan increased from 941 to 1073 days. There is no difference either in median or 80% lifespan in female genotypes [19536287]. Mouse +0 to +14 +0 to +14
    Adcy5 knockout Adcy5 knockout mice are to cardiac stress and have an increased median lifespan of 30% as well as an increased maximal lifespan of 12%. Further, they are also protected from age-related reduced bone density and susceptibility to fractures, and reduced cardiac function [17662940]. Mouse +30 +12
    HNRNPD deletion HNRNPD deletion leads to accelerated aging as evidenced by strinking telomere erosion, markedly increased DNA damage repsosne at telomere ends, pronounced cellular senescence and rapid premature aging that increases with successive generations [Pont et al., 2012]. Mouse
