    Pink1 overexpression Overexpression of Pink1 and overexpression of Pink1 with alpha-synclein results in an increase in lifespan which is accompanied by an increase in healthspan (as measured by mobility) when driven by a dopaminergic cells targeting TH-Gla4 transgene [22653599]. Fly
    Mt2 overexpression Overexpression of Mt2 extends mean and maximum lifespan [15533947]. Fly
    hep overexpression Overexpression of hey significantly extends median (50%) and maximum (25%) lifespan [14602080]. Fly +50 +25
    MAPT overexpression Expression of wild-type human MAPT (tau) moderately shortened lifespan. Expression of a mutant form of human MAPT (Arg406 Trp), associated with an early onset familial form of demetia, results in a several shortened lifespan. MAPT is implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzeimer's disease and related disorders in humans. Transgenic flies exhibit key features of the human disorders: adult onset, progressive neurodegeneration, early death, enhanced toxicity of mutant tau, accumulation of abnormal tau, and relative anatomic selectivity. However, neurodegeneration occurred without the neurofibrillary formation that is observed in humans disease and some rodent taupathy models [11408621]. Fly
    MSRA overexpression Animals engineered to overexpress bovine MSRA in the nervous system have an extended median lifespan by up to 70% (relative to parental control), increased resistance to oxidative stress, and delayed the onset of senescence-induced decline in activity levels and reproductive capacity [11867705]. Fly +70
    Trxr-1 overexpression Overexpression of Trxr-1 (alias GSR; glutathione reductase) in transgenic flies results in increased lifespan and oxidative stress resistance, but only under hyperoxia [10506576]. Fly
    p53 overexpression Overexpression of wild-type Dmp53 during adult life has no significant effect on lifespan [16303568]. Fly
    Igf1 overexpression Cardiac specific overexpression of Igf1 results in a 23% increase in median lifespan, though no increase in maximum lifespan [17973971]. Fly +23
    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
    rpr overexpression Flies with ablated wings caused by overexpressing reaper (UAS-rpr) with a wing-specific Gal4 enhancer trap (1096-Gal4) exhibit only a 14% extension in lifespan compared to controls which exhibit a 61% extension upon DR [22768842]. Fly
    Akh overexpression Overexpression of Akh in a ubiquitousness manner enhances fat metabolism (significant increase in triglyceride synthesis and breakdown under AL), spontaneous activity (148% on AL and 154% on DR), and lifespan on AL (33%). However, despite and increase in movement under DR, lifespan is not increased under a restricted diet [22768842]. Fly +33
    sm overexpression Overexpression of sm in males increases mean and maximum lifespan by 29% and and 16%, respectively [22366109]. Fly
    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
    foxo overexpression foxo overexpression extends lifespan. Activation of foxo in the adult pericerbral fat body is sufficient for lifespan extension [15175753]. Overexpression of foxo in the adult adipose tissue alone prolongs lifespan [15192154; 15175753]. Limited activation of foxo reduces the expression of Drosophila insulin-like peptide dilp-2 synthesized in neurons and, represses endogenous insulin-dependent signaling in peripheral fat body [15175753]. foxo overexpression in adult fat body under normal nutritional conditions leads to extension of lifespan of females and causes a right shift of the response curve of lifespan to DR [18241326]. Overexpression of dFOXO in adult fat body increases median, by 21-33%, and maximum lifespan as well as lowers the age-specific mortality at all ages, in two independent experiments. Overexpression of dFOXO increases lifespan by lowering the whole mortality trajectory, with no effect on slope (similar to DR). Initiation of dFOXO expression at different ages increases subsequent lifespan with the magnitude of increase decreasing as the animals were put on RU486 (which activates the foxo transgene via UAS) at older ages. The effects of removal of dFOXO overexpression at different ages closely mirrored those of induction of expression and produce shortest lifespan observed in animals taken of RU486 at the earlier ages [17465980]. Fly +21 to +33
    Pka-C1 overexpression PKA-overexpressing flies (hsPKA*/+) have an about 30% extends maximum lifespan [17369827]. Fly +30
    fh overexpression Overexpression of fh in the mitochondria of female transgenic animals increases antioxidant capability, resistance to oxidative stress insults, and longevity [18258192]. Fly
    Gadd45 overexpression Gadd45 overexpression in the nervous system leads to a significant increase of lifespan without a decrease in fecundity and locomotor activity. The lifespan extension effect is more pronounced in males than in females. Additional maximum lifespan is also extended. The maximum lifespan is increased by 50% and 59% for females and males, respectively. The median lifespan is extended by 46 and 77% for females and males, respectively [22661237]. Fly
    Gr63a overexpression Overexpression of Gr63a has modest negative effect on lifespan [20422037]. Fly
    Hsp22-promoter driven reporter overexpression Hsp22-promoter driven reporter overexpression reduces mean and maximum lifespan [19420297]. Fly
    LBR overexpression Overexpression of Lamin B receptor in the adult muscle and in the abdominal fat body results in a 54% and 46% reduction of mean lifespan, respectively [18494863]. Fly
    Pten overexpression Increased Pten and 4E-BP activity in muscles is extends the lifespan [21111239]. Fly
    Spargel overexpression Tissue-specific overexpression of dPGC-1 in stem and progenitor cells within the digestive tract of females flies extends the median 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]. Fly +33 +37
    Constitutive miR-277 expression Constitutive miR-277 expression shortens lifespan and synthetically lethal with reduced insulin signaling, indicating that metabolic control underlies this phenotype [23669073]. Fly
    Pdf overexpression Overexpression of Pdf suppresses age-associated changes in the period and strength of free-running locomotor rhythms and amplifies TIM oscillations in many pacemaker neurons in the elder flies [23223368]. Fly
    Prx5 overexpression Prx5 overexpression causes an increase in mean and median lifespan under normal conditions. It also leads to a small increase in maximum lifespan [21826223]. Fly
