    ImpL2 overexpression Lmp-L2 over-expression, ubiquitous or restricted to DILP-producing cells and/or gut and fat body, extends lifespan even if induced at adult onset [21108726]. Overexpression of ImpL2 increases mean and maximum lifespan by 15% and 23%, respectively. Lifespan is reduced when Impl2 is strongly over-expressed throughout the adult by the conditional GS driver, act-GS-GAL4 or da-GS-Gal3, while restricted over-expression of the ImpL2 in fat cells by using S106-GS-Gal4, which increases mRNA level about 6-fold extends lifespan in both sexes [22366109]. mRNA for Impl2 was strongly elevated in sterile, long-lived flies [18434551]. Fly +15 +23
    PGRP-LF overexpression Overexpression of PGRP-LF increases mean and maximum lifespan by 13% and 24% [22366109]. Fly +13 +24
    to overexpression Overexpression of to adult neurons, pericerbral or abdonimal fat body increases male and female lifespan. to overexpression in the adult nervous system, head fat body and abdominal fat body results in 25, 20 and 12-18% increase of mean lifespan. on average the mean lifesapn is extended for males and females by 18 and 26%, while maximum lifespan of male and female is increased by 13 and 25% [20519778]. Fly +12 to +26 +13 to +25
    CG30427 overexpression Overexpression of CG30427 in males increases mean lifespan by 18% [22366109]. Fly +18
    TrxT overexpression Overexpression of TrxT in neurons increases the level of locomotor activity in aged flies and extends the mean lifespan by 15% [17301052]. Fly +15
    Sin3A overexpression Overexpression of Sin3A increases mean and maximum lifespan by 13% and 3%, respectively [22366109]. Fly +13 +3
    NF1 overexpression Overexpression of NF1 increases mitochondrial respiration and reduced ROS production. It increases mean lifespan by 49% in males and 68% in females and maximum lifespan by 38% in males and 52% in females. It also improved reproductive fitness [17369827]. Fly +49 to +68 +38 to +52
    Fgf21 overexpression Overexpression of Fgf-21 increases the mean lifespan by 30% for male mice and 39% for female mice [23066506]. Mice overproducing Fgf21 are lean throughout their lives and remain lean even while eating slightly more than wild-type mice. Fgf21 overproducers tend to be smaller than wild-type mice and female mice were infertile. Although Fgf21 overproducers have significantly lower bone density than wild-type, Fgf21-abundant mice exhibit no ill effects from the reduced bone density and remain active into old age without any broken bones [23066506]. Mouse +30 to +39
    SIR-2.4 overexpression Overexpression of SIR-2.4 does not change the mean or maximum lifespan of wild-type nor the ncreased lifespan of daf-2(e1370) mutants [Tishkoff et al. 2012]. Worm
    SAG12 overexpression Introduction of a SAG12 via bacterial gene transfer (pSAG12:ipt) increases longevity. The gene results in enhanced production of the hormone Cytokinin which affects growth and development as well as stimulates cell division and thereby extends the lifespan. pSAG::ipt transgenic plants exhibit delayed leaf senescence, increased branching and reduced internodal length. The leaves and flowers of the pSAG12:ipt plants are reduced in size and display a more intense coloration [http://www.wissenschaft.de/wissenschaft/news/316062.html; http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2229/12/156/abstract; Garcia-Sogo et al. 2012].
    Lazarillo supplementation Extracellular forms of Laz have autocrine and paracrine protecting effects for oxidative stress-challanged Drosophila S2 cells. Local effects of GPI-linked Laz inside and outside the nervous system promote survival upon different stress forms, and extend lifespan and healthspan of the flies in a cell-type dependent manner. Ectopic enhancement of Laz expression increases mean, median, and maximum lifespan. Laz overexpression (via the use of a ubiquitous da-GAL4 driver) increases median lifepan by 28.3% (p < 0.0005). Overexpression of Laz specifically in muscles and brain (via GAL4109(2)80 driver) increases median lifespan by 43.5%. Laz overxpression in dopaminergic and serotenergic neurons and epidermis increases median lifespan bt 31.4% (p < 0.0005) [22846641]. Fly +28.3 to +43.5
    cst-1 overexpression Overexpression of cst-1 extends lifespan and delays aging in a daf-16-dependent manner [16751106]. Worm
    Hsp22 overexpression Overexpression of mitochondrial Hsp22 in all cells or specifically in motorneurons (using GAL4/UAS binary system) increases life lifespan by 32% and resistance to oxidative stress [19948727; 20036725]. Ubiquitous or a targeted expression of Hsp22 within motorneurons increases the mean lifespan by more than 30%. Hsp22 shows beneficial effects on early-aging events since the premortality phase displays the same increase as the mean lifespan [14734639]. Fly +30 to 32
    Atg8a overexpression Enhanced expression of Atg8a in older fly brains extends average adult lifespan by 56% and promotes resistance to oxidative stress [18059160]. Fly +56

    OSH3 overexpression Overexpression of OSH3 with the promoter of VAC8 shortens mean replicative lifespan ad promotes vacuolar fusion [Xia et al. unpublished]. Yeast
    BMH2 overexpression Overexpressing 14-3-3 protein, Bmh2, significantly extends median chronological lifespan by activating stress response [19805817]. Yeast
    Sirt6 overexpression Overexpression of Sirt6 in male mice lengthens the median lifespan by 9.9-14.5% and maximum lifespan by 13.1-15.8% [22367546]. Mouse +9.9 to +14.5 +13.1 to +15.8

    MXR2 overexpression Overexpression of MXR2 (alias MsrB) has no effect on replicative lifespan under normal growth conditions, but under DR conditions extends replicative lifespan by 120% [15141092]. Yeast
    MXR1 overexpression Overexpression of MXR1 (alias MsrA) slightly increases the replicative lifespan [15141092]. Yeast
    MAPK1 overexpression Overexpression of human MAPK1 (alias ERK2) confers resistance to heat shock and oxidative stress extends median chronological lifespan by 24% and was statistically non-addative with cyr1-1 mutation [17662940]. Yeast +24

    FBP1 overexpression Overexpression of FBP1 shortens chronological lifespan [16199065]. Yeast
    CLN3 overexpression Overexpression shortens chronological lifespan together with age-dependent increases in genome instability and apoptosis. While around 80% of wild-type cells are alive almost non CLN3 overexpressers are alive (under condition that avoids adaptive regrowth) [17710147]. Yeast
