mrps-5 RNAi | Knockdown of mrps-5 throughout the entire life increases the lifespan by 60%. mrps-5 RNAi prevents aging-associated functional decline and alters mitochondrial function. Knocking down mrps-5 after early development no longer affects nematode lifespan. When RNAi of mrps-5 was performed during the larval stages only, lifespan increases by 48%, whereas RNAi started from the L4 stage has no effect. mrps-5 RNAi results in fragmented mitochondria. mrps-5 RNAi increases lifespan by 40% in widltype, 37% in daf-16(mu86), 40% in sir-2.1(ok434) 69% in aak-2(ok524) and 112% in mev-1(kn1). Knockdown of cco-1 does not extend the lifespan of mrps-5 RNAi [23698443]. | Worm | +60 | — | — |
frh-1 RNAi | Complete absence of frataxin is lethal, while its partial deficiency extends animal lifespan in a p53 dependent manner. Frataxin knockdown via RNAi extends mean and maximum lifespan by 19 and 37%, respectively [23247094].
Substantial reduction of frataxin protein expression is required to extend lifespan, affect sensory neurons functionality, remodel lipid metabolism and trigger autophagy. Beclin and p53 genes are required to induce autophagy and concurrently reduce lipid storages and extend animal lifespan in response to frataxin suppression [23247094]. | Worm | +18.75 | — | +37.037037037 |

pash-1 mutation | pash-1 mutants have a decreased lifespan and display phenotypic and molecular signs of advantaged age earlier.
pash-1(mj100) temperature sensitive loss-of-function mutation decreases (at the permissive temperature) mean and maximum lifespan by 31 and 71%, respectively. At the restrictive temperature pash-1 mutants are slightly short-lived with a mean and maximum lifespan reduction by 13 and 54%. Lifespan of pash-1 mutants is reduced by a 24h upshift to 25 degree Celsius at the young adult stage with (36 and 78% reduction mean and maximum lifespan, respectively) [23097426].
The rescue of pash-1 expression all tissues restored almost normal lifespan. Rescue specifically in hypodermis, pharynx muscle, gut had no effect on lifespan. Rescue in body wall muscle marginal extended the lifespan, while rescue specifically in the neurons significantly restored mean but not maximum lifespan. Lifespan was also restored by combined rescue in hypodermis and muscle [23097426]. | Worm | -31 | — | -71 |
