| super-Ink4a/Arf | super-Ink4a/Arf mice carrying a transgenic copy of a large genomic segment containing an intact and complete copy of the Cdkn2a (a.k.a. Ink4a/Arf) gene are significantly protected from cancer and had no indication of accelerated aging. Cells derived from super-Ink4a/Arf mice have increased resistance to in vitro immortalization and oncogenic transformation [15520276]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| sod-1 overexpression | sod-1 overexpression increases mean, median, and maximum lifespan by 32, 25, and 35% [22737090]. | Worm | +32 | +25 | +35 |
| Overexpression of constitutive nuclear SKN-1 | skn-1 transgenes that overexpress a constitutive nuclear form of SKN-1 in the intestine extend the mean lifespan by 5-21%, independently of DAF-16 [18358814]. | Worm | +5 to +21 | — | — |
| sir-2.1 overexpression | sir-2.1 overexpression extends lifespan by about 50% and this lifespan extension depends on DAF-16 activity as it is suppressed by mutation in daf-16 and it does not synergize with daf-2 [11242085].
Overrexpression of sir-2.1 synergizes with TGF-beta mutation (daf-4 and daf-1) for dauer formation [11242085]. | Worm | +50 | — | — |
| Cat overexpression | Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod1 results in a one-third (i.e. 30%) lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. Targeted overexpression of CAT in the mitochondrial matrix has no effect on lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, slightly shortens lifespan at 29 degree Celsius as is associated with increased resistance to endogenous hydrogen peroxide, paraquat, and cold stress [12521602]. | Fly | — | — | — |
| Overexpression of Cat and Sod1 | Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod1 results in a one-third (i.e. 30%) lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. | — | +30 | — | — |
| Sod overexpression | Simultaneous overexpression of catalase and Sod (alias Sod1) results in a one-third lifespan extension, a slower rate of mortality acceleration, and a delayed loss in physical performance, but neither has any effect on lifespan alone [8108730]. General overexpression of Sod (also known as Cu/ZnSOD) alone is sufficient to extend lifespan by up to 48%. Simultaneous overexpression of catalase with Cu/ZnSOD has no added benefit, presumably due to a pre-existing excess of catalase [9858546]. | Fly | +38 | — | — |
| age-1 RNAi | RNAi against age-1 extends lifespan by 30% [8700226; 8608934]. age-1 RNAi increases mean and maximum lifespan by 36-46% and 48-50% [12447374]. RNAi against age-1 increases mean lifespan by 83% [18828672]. age-1(mg44) zygotic null mutants have a mean (99%) and maximum (117%) lifespan extension [18828672]. | Worm | +36 to +99 | — | +48 to +117 |
| wwp-1 RNAi | RNA interference of wwp-1 decreases median lifespan by 9% in wild-type animals and 24% in daf-2 mutants [18006689]. Loss of wwp-1 function by RNAi reduces lifespan at 25 degree Celsius, but not 20 degree Celsius. Reduced levels of wwp-1 completely suppress the extended longevity of eat-2 mutants. wwp-1 RNAi does not suppress the extended lifespan of isp-1 mutants and has only minor suppressive effects on lifespan of another mitochondrial mutant, clk-1, and in cyc-1 RNAi treated worms. RNAi depletion of wwp-1 has no effect on long lifespan of daf-2 mutants [19553937].

| 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 | — | — |
| Tert re-activation | Re-activation of telomerase in a model of premature aging caused by accelerated telomere shortening (duo to telomerase deficiency) was enough to revert some age-associated phenotypes [21113150].
Mice lacking telomerase age more rapedely and died earlier, as an abundance of critically short telomeres developed. Reawakening of Tert, leads to disappearment of age-related symptoms and rejuvenation occurred in several organs including their brains [http://www.isagenixhealth.net/blog/2012/05/16/telomerase-stimulation-extends-lifespan-in-mice/]. | Mouse | — | — | — |

| 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 | — | — | — |

| VPH2 overexpression | Overexpression of VPH2 increases the levels of assembled V-ATPase at the vacuolar membrane, increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VPH2 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum replicative lifespan by 23, 25 and 34%, respectively [23172144].

| VMA1 overexpression | Overexpression of VMA1 increases vacuolar acidity and suppresses age-induced mitochondrial dysfunction of aged cells (17 or 18 cell divisions) which requires the V-ATPase activity. VMA1 overexpression significantly increases mean, median and maximum lifespan by 39 - 45%, 39 - 48% and 50 - 60%, respectively. DR (0.5% glucose restriction) does not further increase the lifespan of VMA1 overexpression strain [23172144]. | Yeast | +39.3 to +44.8 | +39.3 to +48.3 | +50.0 to +60.0 |
