    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
    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
    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
    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
    Ctf1 knockout Absence of Ctf1 is associated with decreased arterial fibrosis, stiffness mad senescence and increased longevity. Ctf1-null mice have a decrease in arterial stiffness and decrease in levels of inflammatory, apoptotic and senescence, whereas telomere-linked and DNA repair proteins as well as antioxidant enzyme activities are increased. The median lifespan of Ctf1-null mice is increased by 5 month (18%) [23172930]. Wild-type and Ctf1-null mice exhibit an increase of senescence markers (p53, Mdm2, p21, and p16) with age but are lower in Ctf1-null mice. Ctf1-null mice have a diminished vascular NFκB signaling, lower inflammation and oxidative stress and reduced senescence. Ctf1-null mice have a 12% increase in body weight, 130% increased adiponectin levels and 51% decreased leptin concentrations [23172930]. Mouse +18
    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
    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
    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
    Terc deletion Telomerase null mice exhibit age-dependent telomere shortening and shortened lifespan with succeeding generations. Median lifespan is reduced by 26% in G6 Terc(-/-) mice compared to wild-type or G1-G3 Terc(-/-) (18 months vs. 24 months). G6 Tec(-/-) display hair greying, hair loss, and ulcerative skin lesions, as well as impaired response to wound healing and hematoitopitic ablation, and an increased incidence of cancer [10089885]. Cells from Terc(-/-) mice (G4 and upward) exhibit chromosomes lacking detectable teloemre repeats, aneuplody, and end-to-end fusions [9335332]. Mouse -26
    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
