| Whole-body Sirt1 deletion in the adulthood | Whole-body deletion of Sirt1 in the adulthood results in mice which are seemingly normal in every way. When mice were given low doses of resveratrol after Sirt1 was disabled, there were no discernible improvement in mitochondrial function or any paramenter, while mice with normal Sirt1 function given reservatrol showed dramatic increases in energy, mitochondrial biogenesis and function, AMPK activation and increased NAD+ levels in skeletal muscle. When mice lacking Sirt1 were given low doses of reserveratrol, AMPK was unaffected. When doses were significantly increased in these mice, AMPK was activated in a SIRT1-indepent manner, but still no benefit to mitochondrial function resulted [22560220]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Ubiquitinous SOD1 overexpression | Ubiquitous overexpression of SOD1 does not extend lifespan in mice. Homozygous transgenic mice with two- to five-fold overexpression of SOD1 in various tissues exhibit a light reduction in lifespan. Hemizygous transgenic mice, with 1.5- to 3-fold overexpression of SOD1 display no difference in lifespan compared with nontransgenic litermate controls [10719757]. Transgenic mice with a mutant SOD1 transgene develop neuronal cytoskeletal lesions resembling the human amytrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) phenotype [8610185]. Transgenic mice overexpressing SOD1 (and having 3.1-fold higher cellular Cu,Zn SOD activity in the brain) have reduced infarct size following experimental cerebral ischemia [1763030]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Sod2 overexpression | Two-fold overexpression of Sod2 in young (4-6 months) and old (26-28 months) throughout the life results in decreased lipid peroxidation, increased resistance against paraquat-induced oxidative stress, and decreased age-related decline in mitochondrial ATP production, without any change on lifespan or age-related pathology [19633237]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| C3 treatment | Tris-malonic acid derivate of the fullerene C60 molecule (C3) increases the lifespan of Sod2(-/-) mice by 300% [15451059].

| Trehalose treatment | Treatment with trehalose reduces neurodegeneration in a transgenic mouse model of taupathy (human mutant P301S tau mouse. Neuronal survival is evaluated by trehalose. Trehalose induces autophagy in the brain, where the number of neurons containing tau inclusions is significantly reduced as well as the amount of insoluble tau protein and the protein levels of p62. However, trehalose fails to activate autophagy in the spinal cord, where it has no impact on the level of sarkosyl-insoluble tau. Trehalose has also no effect on the motor impairment of human mutant P301S tau transgenic mice [22689910]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Plau overexpression | Transgenic mice (called alphaMUPA) overexpression Plau in many brain sites (including hypothalamus) consume (20%) less food, have a reduced body weight (by 20%) and length (by 6%), reduced temperature, and a prolonged lifespan (by 20%) [9060969].
alphaMUPA mice have reduced levels of blood sugar and smaller size and birth frequency compared to parental control [9060969] as well as a reduced body weight [10638529]. | Mouse | +20 | — | — |
| Bub1b mutation | The median and maximum lifespan of mice with a nonsense mutation 2211insGTTA in BubR1 is significantly reduced. BubR1(+/GTTA) mice develop several aging-related phenotypes at an accelerated rate, including catarct formation, lordokyphosis, skeletal muscle wasting, impaired exercise ability, and fat loss. Further BubR1(+/GTTA) mice develop mild anaplodies and exhibit enhanced growth of carcinogen-induced tumors [Wijshake et al. 2012]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| 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 overexpression | Sustained high-level expression of BubR1 preserves genomic integrity and reduces tumorgenesis (even in the presence of genetic alterations that strongly promote aneuplodization and cancer, such as oncogenic Ras) and extends the lifespan and delays age-related deterioriation and aneuploidy in several tissues [23242215].
BubR1 overabundance exerts its protective effect by correcting mitotic checkpoints defects [23242215].
BubB1 overexpression extends maximum lifespan by 20 - 41% compared to GFP-carrying control transgenic mice [23242215]. | Mouse | — | — | +20 to +41.3 |
| Rgn knockout | Survival among make animals lacking Rgn (alias SMP30) is 50% at 180 days compared to 100% among controls [N. Maruyama, unpublished data].
SMP30-/- mutant mice are indstuguishibale form their SMP30+/+ littermates in terms of development and fertilization capacity [12368201]. However, -/- mice were more susceptible to liver injury after treatment with anti-FAS antibody. SMP30-/- hepatocytes cultures in vitro are more susceptible to apoptosis induced by tumor-necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) plus actinomycin D (ActD) than SMP30+/+ hepatocytes.

| super-Trp53 | super-p53 mice generate by integrating a transgenic copy of a large genomic segment containing an intact and complete copy of p53 have an ehanced response to DNA damage, are significantly protected from cancer and had no indication of accelerated aging [12426394]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| super-Ink4a/Arf/p53 | super-Ink4a/Arf/p53 mice have a synergic protection against cancer and delayed aging [Workshop RoSyBa 2011]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| super-Ink4a/Arf | super-Ink4a/Arf mice carrying a transgenic copy of a large genomic segment containing an intact and complete copy of the Cdkn2a (a.k.a. Ink4a/Arf) gene are significantly protected from cancer and had no indication of accelerated aging. Cells derived from super-Ink4a/Arf mice have increased resistance to in vitro immortalization and oncogenic transformation [15520276]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Sod2 homozygous knockout | Sod2(-/-) mice are born smaller, pale and less vigorous, and die with 7-10 days. The major problems are dilated cardiomyopathy, accumulaiton of lipid in various tissues particularly liver and skeletal muscle, and metabolic acidosis [7493016]. In another strain background Sod2(-/-) mice have severe anemia, degeneration of neurons in the basal ganglia and brainstem, and progressive weakness, fatigue, and cricling behavior [8790408]. Treatment of Sod(-/-) mice with superoxide dismuate/catalase mimetics (EUK-8, EUK-134, or EUK-189) partially rescues the short lifespan (mean lifespan 14-28 days) and other phenotypes [9462746]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| 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 |
| Sirt6 knockout | Sirt6 knockout mice develop signs of premature ageing including a short lifespan [16439206].
Mice without Sirt6 have a higher risk of gastrointestinal cancers. Loss of Sirt6 increases the number, size and aggressiveness of tumors. Sirt6 loss leads to tumor formation even without activation of oncogenes. Transformed SIRT6-deficient cells exhibit increased glycolysis and tumor growth [23217706].

| Sirt1 knockout | Sirt1 knock-out mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) have a significant greater replicative capacity in culture. p19ARF levels are significantly reduced in Sirt1 knock-out MEFs [16054100].
Sirt1-null mice do not exhibit lifespan extension upon Dietary Restriction [18335035]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Resveratrol supplementation | Resveratrol conteracts the detrimental effects of a high-fat diet in mice an decreases the risk of death by 30% and thereby reverting it to the level of normal diet. It also partially corrected a subset of the abnormal gene expression profile and insulin as well as glucose metabolism [17086191].
Although resveratrol has a range of beneficial effects in elderly mice, it does not increase the longevity of *ad libitum* fed mice when started midlife [18599363]. Even at high doses and when started in young adulthood reseveratrol supplementation does not increase lifespan on a normal diet [17578509; 20974732].

| Replacement of Cebpa by Cebpb | Replacing the Cebpa gene by Cebpb increases mean lifespan by about 20% [15289464]. C/ebpalpha(beta/beta) animals consume more food but weight less than controls [10982846], and have a slightly elevated body temperature (0.3-0.5 degree Celsius) [15289464]. | Mouse | +20 | — | — |
| Tert re-activation | Re-activation of telomerase in a model of premature aging caused by accelerated telomere shortening (duo to telomerase deficiency) was enough to revert some age-associated phenotypes [21113150].
Mice lacking telomerase age more rapedely and died earlier, as an abundance of critically short telomeres developed. Reawakening of Tert, leads to disappearment of age-related symptoms and rejuvenation occurred in several organs including their brains [http://www.isagenixhealth.net/blog/2012/05/16/telomerase-stimulation-extends-lifespan-in-mice/]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Rapamycin treatment | Rapamcyin increases mouse lifespan and healthspan even when administrated late in life (20 months) [19587680].
Rapamycin enhances learning and memory in young mice and improves these faculties in old mice thereby negating the normal decline in these functions with age. Rapamycin boost levels of neurotransmitters associated with neural plasticity. Rapamycin also lowered anxiety and depressive-like behaviour at all ages from 4, 12 and 28 months. "Happy, feel-good" neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine are all significantly augmented in the midbrains of rapamycin treated mice [http://denigma.de/url/37].
Treatment with rapamycin increased lifespan and suppresses spontanous tumorgenesis in inbred female mice [22107964]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| TXN overexpression | Overexpression of TXN1 in transgenic C57BL/6 mice resulted in extended median (35%) and maximum (22%) lifespan. Telomerase activity in spleen tissues of TXN1 overexpressing mice is higher than tha in wild-type [12230882]. | Mouse | — | +35 | +22 |
| K5-Tert overxpression | Overexpression of telomerase results in a high cancer incidence but also a modest mean (10%) and maximum lifespan extension accompanied by a lower incidence of some age-related degenerative diseases, in particular those related to kidney function and germline integrity [15688016]. | Mouse | +10 | — | — |
| Sirt6 overexpression | Overexpression of Sirt6 in male mice lengthens the median lifespan by 9.9-14.5% and maximum lifespan by 13.1-15.8% [22367546]. | Mouse | — | +9.9 to +14.5 | +13.1 to +15.8 |
| Pcmt overexpression | Overexpression of Pcmt extends lifespan by 32-39% at 29 degrees but not at 25 degrees [11742076].
The adult lifespan of animals overexpressing Pcmt is extended [18772467]. | Mouse | 0 to 39 | — | — |
