| hsa-let-7a | microRNA let-7a | A tumor-suppressor downregulated in different types of cancer. Let-7a binds to 3'-UTR region of RAB40C, thus leading to a decrease in cell proliferation and an increase of G1 arrest in human gastric carcinomas [20809749, 21349817]. In human breast cancer, evidence suggests that members of let-7 family inhibit breast cancer cell migration by targeting genes responsible for actin dynamics [23339187]. Moreover, let-7a directly targets CCR7, a receptor that promotes invasiveness of cancer cells [23335963] | Human |
| mrpl-37 | — | Knockdown of mrpl-37 increases lifespan by 41% [23698443]. | Nematode |
| mrpl-2 | — | Knockdown of mrpl-2 increases lifespan by 54% [23698443]. | Nematode |
| mrpl-1 | — | Knockdown of mrpl-1 increases lifespan by 57% [23698443]. | Nematode |
| ttll-9 | Tubulin Tyrosine Ligase Like | Knockdown of ttll-9 throughout the entire life increases the lifespan by 3% [23698443]. | Nematode |
| nkcc-1 | Na-K-Cl Cotransporter homolog | Knockdown of nkcc-1 throughout the entire life increases the lifespan by 23% [23698443]. | Nematode |
| mrps-5 | — | 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]. | Nematode |
| ABCA1 | ATP-binding cassette, sub-family A (ABC1), member 1 | The R219K SNP was examined in 256 centenarians and 190 healthy younger controls. The allelic frequency were not different between the two groups [12601526]. | Human |
| MIR145 | microRNA 145 | MIR145 is a tumor suppressor that acts by inhibiting IRS-1 in human colon cancer cells. It also targets IGFR1 [17827156; 19391107]. It decreases cell migration in gliomas by targeting CTGF, metastasis and migration-promoting gene. MIR145 is downregulated in astrocytic tumors and oligodendrogliomas [23390502;
23577178]. | Human |
| MIR15A | microRNA 15a | MIR15A is a tumor-suppressor downregulated in different types of cancers. In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) it is downregulated in 68% of cases [12434020]. MIR15A may post-transcriptionally downregulate the expression of Bcl2, thus inducing apoptosis. Therefore, inactivation of MIR15A and MIR16-1 in CLL lymphocytes results in a reduced apoptosis rate [16166262].
In prostate cancer, MIR15A and MIR16-1 are downregulated, which results in decreased repression of FGF-2, thus promoting tumor expansion and invasiveness [21532615].
MIR15A and MIR16-1 are also downregulated in pituitary adenomas as thier expression exhibits an inverse correlation with tumor diameter, therefore possible influence on tumor growth [15648093]. | Human |
| mir-277 | — | Constitutive miR-277 expression shortens lifespan and synthetically lethal with reduced insulin signaling, indicating that metabolic control underlies this phenotype. Transgenic inhibition with a miRNA sponge construct also shortens lifespan [23669073].
miR-277 is downregulated during adult life [23669073].
mir-277 controls branched-chain amino acid catabolism and as a result it can modulate the activity of TOR kinase [23669073]. | Fruit fly |
| Spargel | — | Tissue-specific overexpression of dPGC-1 in stem and progenitor cells within the digestive tract of females flies extends the mean 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]. | Fruit fly |
| Hsp70Ba | Heat-shock-protein-70Ba | Hsp70Ba overexpression reduces mean and maximum lifespan up to 30% [19420297].
hsp70 and hsp22 RNA levels are higher in long-lived than in short-lived fly lines. The HDAC inhibitor TSA causes a higher expression of hsp22 and hsp70, and strikingly influences the lifespan in both long and short-lived lines, with variable degrees (up to 25%) [15695762]. | Fruit fly |
| Zw | Zwischenferment | Mean lifespan of G6PD overexpressor flies is extended in comparison with driver and responder controls, armadillo-GAL4 (up to 38%), Tubulin-GAL4 (up to 29%), C23-GAL4 (up to 27%), da-GAL4 (up to 24%), D42-GAL4 (up to 18%) and Appl-GAL4 (up to 16%). The maximum lifespan is also increased [18809674].
G6PD enzymatic activity as well as levels of NADPH, NADH, and the GSH/GSSG ration are increased [18809674]. | Fruit fly |
| yata | — | yata mutation shortens the maximum lifespan by 68% and results in progressive deterioration of the nervous tissues and aberrant accumulation of Sec23 [19209226]. | Fruit fly |
| snz | snazarus | Mutation in snz increases maximum lifespan of both sexes by up to 66%, while the median female lifespan is approximately 85% higher and that of males around 72% [18478054]. | Fruit fly |
| SNF4Agamma | SNF4/AMP-activated protein kinase gamma subunit | Deletion of SNF4Agamma from the first day of the imaginal stage shortens mean lifespan by 23% and causes morphological and behavioural features of premature aging [18219227]. | Fruit fly |
| Rbp9 | RNA-binding protein 9 | Rbp9 mutation significantly decreases longevity with a 33% reduction in median lifespan of males [20589912]. | Fruit fly |
| Pten | — | Increased Pten and 4E-BP activity in muscles is extends the lifespan [21111239]. | Fruit fly |
| Prx5 | Peroxiredoxin 5 | Prx5 overexpression causes an increase in mean and median lifespan under normal conditions. It also leads to a small increase in maximum lifespan.
dprx5(-/-) null mutants are comparatively more susceptible to oxidative stress, have higher incidence of apoptosis, and a shortened mean lifespan, but thee is no significant difference in maximum lifespan (10% survival) [21826223]. | Fruit fly |
| pex16 | peroxin 16 | pex16 mutation lead to a reduced mean lifespan of one-third in females and on-fourth in males. The short lifespan can be rescued by the simultaneous overexpression of pex16 in the fat body and differentiated neurons [21826223].
Mutant flies lack normal peroxisomes, have an reduced adult body size (70%-85% smaller than controls) and rozy eyes, show locomotion defects in the development of the nervous system [21826223]. | Fruit fly |
| Nlaz | Neural Lazarillo | Absence of Nlaz, which is homologous to ApoD, results in a reduced lifespan in both sexes. Median lifespan is 30.8% and 22.5% lower in females and males, respectively. Maximum lifespan is reduced by 12% and 30% in females and males [21376794]. | Fruit fly |
| Naam | Nicotinamide amidase | Naam overexpression increases mean and maximum lifespan by 30% in both females and males. The lifespan extension is reversed by Sir2 mutants, indicating the it is dependent on Sir2 [18678867]. | Fruit fly |
| MTF-1 | Metal response element-binding Transcription Factor-1 | MTF-1 overexpression in either the peripheral nervous system or motorneurons extends both mean and maximum lifespan by 40% in males [18775584]. | Fruit fly |
| Mlp84B | Muscle LIM protein at 84B | RNA interference of Mlp84B specifically in the heart results in bradycardia and heart rthym abnormalities as well as a shorter mean lifespan in males but not in females [18083727]. | Fruit fly |
