| hsb-1 | Heat Shock factor Binding protein | hsb-1(cg116) mutation at 20 degree Celsius extends mean, 75%ile, and maximum lifespan by 57-60%, 52-59%, and 37-69%. | Nematode |
| pash-1 | PArtner of DroSHa (DRSH-1 interactor) | Inactivation of DGCR8/pash-1 in nematode reduces lifespan apparently due to accelerated aging. This intervention abrogates (lin-14 mutation and jnk-1(OE)) and suppresses (eat-2 and glp-1 mutants) several lifespan extending interventions, but not that conferred insulin-like signalling inhibition (daf-2 mutant) [23097426].
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]. | Nematode |
| ins-1 | INSulin related | Increased dosage of ins-1 under its own promoter as well as a heat shock promoter increases lifespan by 25% and is also able to increase the lifespan of daf-2 mutants [11274053]. ins-1 RNAi increases lifespan by 20%. ins-1 is differentially transcribed in daf-16 and daf-2 animals [12845331]. Overexpression of ins-1 also causes an increase in dauer formation and can enhance the dauer formation of daf-2 mutants [11274053]. | Nematode |
| cst-1 | Caenorhabditis STE20-like kinase 1 | Knockdown of cst-1 shortens lifespan and accelerates tissue aging while its overexpression extends lifespan and delays aging in a daf-16-dependent manner [16751106]. | Nematode |
| mir-71 | — | Loss and gain-of-function of mir-71 decreases and increases lifespan, respectively [21129974]. mir-71 mutants have a reduced lifespan with 40% decrease in mean lifespan, while extra copies of mir-71 extend the lifespan with an increase in lifespan by 15 - 25% [22482727],
Loss of mir-71 function suppresses the long lifespan of glp-1(e2141) mutants [22482727],
During adulthood mir-71 is strongly expressed in the intestine, body wall muscles and neurons. mir-71 is upregulated in aging adults [22482727], | Nematode |
| mev-1 | Abnormal MEthyl Viologen sensitivity | Loss of function in mev-1 shortens lifespan to 66% of wild-type (i.e. by 34%) and accelerates accumulation of aging-associated biomarkers such as protein carboynls and fluorescent materials. mev-1 mutants are hypersensitive to raised oxygen concentrations and their lifespan decreases dramatically as oxygen concentrations increase [9716135]. Mutation of mev-1 results in paraquat sensitivity, slow grows, and low fecundity. mev-1 mutants have a 50% reduction in superoxide dismutase activt relatively to wild-type [2233820]. | Nematode |
| mir-124 | — | Loss of mir-124 increases reactive oxygen species formation and accumulation of the aging marker lipofuscin, reduces whole body ATP levels and results in reduction in lifespan [23075628].
Supplementation of vitamin C normalizes the reduced median lifespan of mir-124 mutants [23075628].
The expression of the conserved mir-124 in whole wrn-1 mutants (which premature age) is significantly reduced [23075628]. | Nematode |
| lys-1 | LYSozyme | lys-1 RNAi in the adulthood extends the lifespan [New longevity regulators]. Overexpression of lys-1 increases mean and maximum lifespan by 5 and 26%, but has no significant effect on median lifespan [22737090]. | Nematode |
| mir-58 | — | mir-58(n4640) mutation decreases the mean lifespan by 20% [22482727]. | Nematode |
| mir-238 | — | Mutating mir-238 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 18 and 24% [21129974]. mir-238(n4112) mutation decreases mean lifespan by 20% [22482727]. | Nematode |
| mir-246 | — | Mutating mir-246 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 12%, while its overexpression increases mean and maximum lifespan by 6 and 5 - 14%, respectively [21129974]. | Nematode |
| unc-10 | UNCoordinated | Mutation in unc-10 reduces maximum lifespan 35% [17592521]. | Nematode |
| unc-31 | UNCoordinated | Mutation in unc-31 increases hermaphrodite lifespan by approximately 70% and male lifespan by 150% [10377425; 11063684; 10747056]. unc-31 also cause constitutive dauer formation. Both phenotypes, enhanced longevity and constitutive dauer formation are suppressed by mutations in daf-16. unc-31 site of action is neuronal [10377425].
unc-31 mutants are uncoordinated [4366476] and exhibit dauer constitutive phenotype [10377425], are lethargic, feed constitutively, are defective in egg-laying, and produce dauer larvae that fail to recover [8462849]. | Nematode |
| daf-16 | Abnormal DAuer Formation DAF-16, fork head-related transcription factor (daf-16) | Mutations in daf-16 suppresses life-extension caused by mutations in daf-2 [8247153]. daf-16 is required for lifespan extension by mutation of daf-2 or age-1 [8247153]. RNAi against daf-16 decreases lifespan of wild-type, daf-2 or glp-1 mutants [22509016; 16530050]. Loss of function alleles of daf-16 shorten lifespan, but some alleles have lifespan equal to wild-type [8247153]. daf-16 mutation significantly reduces lifespan under AL (-20%), but does not prevent lifespan extension by sDR. In another experiment daf-16 mutation totally suppresses lifespan extension by sDR [16720740]. sDR does not stimulate DAF-16 translocation to the nucleus, but daf-16 mutation cancels out the ability of sDR to extend lifespan and to delay the decline in locomotor activity [17900900]. DR by bacterial dilution extends lifespan of daf-16 mutants [17538612]. daf-16 mutation decreases lifespan under AL, but fails to prevent bDR to further extend lifespan [18331616]. IF-induced lifespan-extension by either 24h/48h/72h per 4 days is significantly diminished in null mutants of daf-16. All these regimens extend lifespan of daf-16 to a lesser extent than that of wild-type. daf-16 partially mediates IF-induced longevity [19079239]. Glucose or glycerol does not shorten lifespan of daf-16 mutants [19883616]. daf-16 mutation cancels out the lifespan extension effect of sDR and PD, regardless of the concentration of bacteria or peptones. bDR significantly extends lifespan of daf-16 mutants, but to a lesser extent than that of wild-type. eat-2 mutation extends the lifespan of daf-16 mutants to the same extent than that of wild-type. Resveratrol extends lifespan of daf-16 mutants [19239417]. daf-16 RNAi completely blocks the lifespan extension by daf-2 mutation, but only partially by bDR. daf-16 RNAi attenuates protection against oxidative stress by bDR. daf-16 expression is induced by bDR [19924292]. Knockdown of daf-16 decreases mean and maximum lifespan by 50% and 54%, respectively [22509016]. DAF-16 reduces expression of rsks-1 and daf-15 [15253933; 22560223]. daf-16(mgDf47) decreases mean (18-37%) and maximum (29%) lifespan [18828672]. Overexpression of wild-type DAF-16 modestly increases lifespan by 20% [11747825], while overexpression of constitutive nuclear forms of DAF-16 increases lifespan only slightly [11381260]. daf-16(mu86) mutation decreases mean (44%) and maximum (18%) lifespan [15905404]. daf-16(mgDf47) decreases mean (18-37%) and maximum (29%) lifespan [18828672]. daf-16 mutants are dauer defective [7219552] and completely suppress all the phenotypes of daf-2 and age-1 mutations, including lifespan extension, dauer arrest, reduced fertility, and viability defects [8247153; 7789761; 9504918; 7789761]. Mutations in daf-16 also suppress lifespan extension of animals that have a germ line ablation [10360574]. Sex-specific lifespan potential requires daf-16 [10747056].
daf-16 mutation suppresses enhanced UV resistance as well as increase longevity of daf-2, daf-23, spe-26, and clk-1 mutants. Mutation in daf-16 does not alter the reduced fertility in spe-26. daf-16 mutants are more fertile than wild-type [8807294]. | Nematode |
| nhr-62 | Nuclear Hormone Receptor family | NHR-62 is required for metabolic and physiologic responses associated with DR-induced longevity. *nhr-62* mediates the longevity response of *eat-2* mutants and blunts the longevity by bacterial food dilution [Heestand, et al. 2012].
Mutation in *nhr-62* suppresses the lifespan extension of eat-2(ad465) animals (p<0.001) [Heestand et al. 2013].
Wild-type (N2) worms with extrachromosomal array dhEx627 (carrying a wild-type nhr-62) exhibit a significant increase in lifespan compared to wild-type (p<0.001) [Heestand et al. 2013]. | Nematode |
| nlp-7 | Neuropeptide-Like Protein | nlp-7 RNAi or overexpression reduces oxidative stress resistance and shortens lifespan of wild-type under AL. nlp-7 RNAi significantly reduces extended lifespan of eat-2 mutants, but failed to block lifespan extension of age-1 or clk-1 mutants. Lifespan of nlp-7 mutants increases only moderately by sDR [19783783]. nlp-7 expression is induced under DR via the use of a chemically defined axenic medium [17023606] and by sDR [19783783]. | Nematode |
| abu-11 | Activated in Blocked Unfolded protein response 11 | Overexpression of abu-11 extends mean lifespan by 9% to 28% [16256736]. | Nematode |
| hsp-6 | Heat shock 70kDa protein 9B (mortalin-2) | Overexpression of hsp-6 from a muscle-specific promoter extends lifespan mean and maximum lifespan by 43 and 45% relatively to animals expressing GFP from the same promoter [11959102]. | Nematode |
| jnk-1 | Jun N-terminal Kinase | Overexpression of jnk-1 increases lifespan by 40% [15767565; 23097426].
JNK-1 overexpression extends the lifespan in a daf-16-dependent manner. JNK-1 directly phosphorylates DAF-16. JNK-1 overexpression does not extend the lifespan of animals unable to synthesize miRNAs, i.e. pash-1(mj100) [23097426]. | Nematode |
| lmp-2 | LAMP (lysosome-associated membrane protein) homolog | Overexpression of lmp-2 increases mean, median and, maximum lifespan by 25, 35, and 48% [22737090]. | Nematode |
| old-1 | Overexpression Longevity Determinant | Overexpression of old-1 in transgenic animals increases mean and maximum lifespan by 40-100% (average 65%) and 97%, respectively. old-1 overexpression of increases stress resistance (to heat by 20% and ultraviolet irradiation by 33%) without altering development or fertility. Effects of old-1 on lifespan and stress resistance is under regulation of daf-16 [9768365].
old-1 mRNA levels are upregulated in response to stress and in daf-2 as well as age-1 mutant backgrounds [11591319]. old-1 expression is downregulated in daf-2 mutants [12845331]. old-1 RNAi in an rrf-3 mutant background slightly extends lifespan [12845331]. old-1 is expressed in the anterior region of the worm, in neuronal, hypodermal and pharyngeal tissues as well in the proximal region in the male gonad. Its expression is detectable in young adults and appears to increase as animals age and in response to heat, starvation, or UV irradiation. | Nematode |
| old-2 | Overexpression Longevity Determinant | Overexpression of old-2 increases slightly, although statistically significant mean and maximum lifespan by 19 and 44% [9768365]. | Nematode |
| hsp-16.1 | Heat Shock Protein | Overexpression of the hsp-16 loci enhances stress resistance and extends mean lifespan by 11% at 20 degree Celsius. Lifespan extension by hsp-16 overexpression requires daf-16 [12882326]. | Nematode |
| hsp-16.49 | Heat Shock Protein | Overexpression of the hsp-16 loci enhances stress resistance and extends mean lifespan by 11% at 20 degree Celsius. Lifespan extension by hsp-16 overexpression requires daf-16 [12882326]. | Nematode |
| hsp-16.48 | Heat Shock Protein | Overexpression of the hsp-16 loci enhances stress resistance and extends mean lifespan by 11% at 20 degree Celsius. Lifespan extension by hsp-16 overexpression requires daf-16 [12882326]. RNAi of hsp-16.48 has no effect on adult wild-type lifespan but slightly shortens the long lifespan of age-1(hx546) mutants [14668486]. | Nematode |
