| Atr knockout | Deletion of Atr in young adults eliminates 80-90% of proliferating cells and results in several age-related phenotypes accompanied by a depletion of stem and progenitor cells and exhaustion of tissue renewal and homeostatic capacity [18371340].
Atr mutant mice (so called Seckle mice) exhibit high levels of replicative stress during embryogenesis, when proliferation is widespread, but this is reduced to marginal amounts in postnatal life. In spite of this decrease, adult Seckel mice display accelerated aging, which is further aggravated in the absence of p53. Seckel mice die in less than half a year, exhibit pancytopenia, cachexia and signs of premature aging, including hair graying, kyphosis, osteoporosis, accumulation of fat in the bone marrow, decreased density of hair follicles and thinner epidermis [19620979]. | 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 | — | — | — |
| Bax knockout | Inactivation of proapoptotic Bax extends fertile potential and minimized age-related health problems, including bone and muscle loss, excess fat deposition, alopecia, cataracts, deafness, increased anxiety, and selective attention deficit. Bax deficiency does not lead to an increase in tumor incidence. Despite the apparently increased quality of life of aging females lacing Bax, there is no significant differences in overall lifespan [17360389]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Brca1 deletion | Deletion of Brca1 causes senescence in mutant embryos and cultured cells and tumorigenesis and signs of premature aging in adults [12533509]. Brca1 heterozygous seem to have shortened lifespan with 70% of tumor incidence. Lymphoma, but not ovarian and mammary gland tumors, occurs commonly in these animals. After a whole-body exposure to ionizing radiation, Brca1 heterozygous mice have a 3-5-fold higher incidence to ovarian tumors, but not lymphoma, when compared with Brca1(+/+) mice [17420720]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| Cdkn1a knockout | Deletion of Cdkna1 (alias p21) prolongs the lifespan of telomerase-deficient mice with dysfunctional telomeres and improves the repopulation capacity and self-renewal of hematopoietic stem cells [17143283].
The p21(-/-) strains like the Cdkn1a(tmi/Tyj) exhibits enormous regenerative capacities as it closes ear holes similar to MRL mice [20231440; 21722344]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Fgf23 knockout | Fgf23 knockouts have a short lifespan and display premature aging-like symptoms including kyphosis, muscle wasting, osteopenia, emphysema, uncoordinated movement, atherosclerosis, and atrophy of the intestinal villi, skin, thymus, and spleen [16436465].
Lack of Fgf23 activities results in extensive premature aging-like features and early mortality of Fgf-23(-/-) mice, while restoring the systemic effects of FGF-23 significantly ameliorates these phenotypes, with the resultant effect being improved growth, restored fertility, and significantly prolonged survival of double mutants [18729070]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Foxm1 deletion | Deletion of Foxm1 causes age-related deterioration in liver regeneration [14647066]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Drd4 knockout | Drd4 knockout mice, when compared with wild-type and heterozygous mice, display a 7 - 9.7% decrease in lifespan, reduced spontaneous locomotor activity, and no lifespan increase when reared in an enriched environment [23283341]. | Mouse | -7 to -9.7 | — | — |
| Acacb knockout | Acacb-null animals (alias Acc2-/-) exhibit upon regular diet an increase triglyceride breakdown, leaner phenotype, increased insulin sensitivity and no effect on lifespan [17923673]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout | Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout mice have an 7% increase in mean lifespan [10580504]. | Mouse | +7 | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| Lep knockout | Lep knockout results in ob/ob mice which eats excessively and becomes profoundly obese. ob/ob mice live shorter on ad libitum, but achieve a lifespan similiar to control levels under DR, yet their precentage of body fat is much greater that that of controls [6608731]. | 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 | — | — | — |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Efemp1 knockout | Efemp1 knockout mice exhibited an early onset of aging-associated phenotypes including a 20% shorted median lifespan and 30% shorter maximum lifespan, decreased body mass, lordokyphosis, reduced hair growth, and atrophy [17872905]. | Mouse | — | +20 | +30 |
| Casp-2 deficiency | Loss of caspase-2 resulted in a shortened (10%) maximum lifespan and in enhanced aging-related traits such as impaired hair growth, increased bone loss, and reduced body fat content [17188333]. | Mouse | — | — | -10 |
