| Bub3 and Rae1 haploinsuficiency | Haploinsufficiency of Bub3 and Rae1, but not haploinsufficiency of either gene by itself, reduces lifespan by 12% and appears to accelerate aging [16476774]. | Mouse | -12 | — | — |
| Trp63 knockout | Heterozygous Trp632 mutant mice have a shortened lifespan (by 21.5%) and display features of accelerated aging [16107615].
The decreased longevity in Trp63(+/-) mice is almost identical to that of Trp53(+/m) mice in which enhanced Trp53 activity provides resistance to spontaneous tumors while simultaneously accelerating aging [16107615]. Trp63(+/-) are not susceptible to spontaneous tumors [16107615]. | Mouse | -21.5 | — | — |
| Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout | Heterozyogus Shc1 knockout mice have an 7% increase in mean lifespan [10580504]. | Mouse | +7 | — | — |
| Nudt1 Overexpression | hMTH1-Tg mice express high levels of the hMTH1 hydrolase that degrades 8-oxoGTP and 8-oxoGTP and excludess 8-oxoguanine from both DNA and RNA.
hMTH1-overexpresing mice have significantly lower steady-state levels of 8-oxoguanine in both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of several organs, including the brain. hMTH1 overexpression prevents the age-dependent accumulation of DNA 8-oxoguanine that occurs in the wild-type mice. These lower levels of oxidized guanines are associated with increased longevity and hMTH1-Tg animals live significantly longer than their wild-type littermates [23648059]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| HNRNPD deletion | HNRNPD deletion leads to accelerated aging as evidenced by strinking telomere erosion, markedly increased DNA damage repsosne at telomere ends, pronounced cellular senescence and rapid premature aging that increases with successive generations [Pont et al., 2012]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Ghrhr knockout | Homozygosity for the Ghrhr(lit) knockout mutation (called little mouse) lowers plasma growth hormone levels, impairs growth and increases lonegevity about 20% [11371619]. Lit homozygous animals are smaller than normal mice [1270792] and their pituitary is defective in growth hormone and prolactin [978118]. | Mouse | +20 | — | — |
| Top3b knockout | Homozygous disruption of Top3b results in a normal development but a shorter lifespan (by approximately 70%) accompanied by lesions in multiple organs in C57BL/6 [11331780]. | Mouse | -70 | — | — |
| Igf1r knockout | Homozygous null mutation of Igf1r is lethal at birth [8402901]. Mice heterozygous for IGF1R live 26% longer. Female Igf1r(+/-) mice have 33% longer mean lifespan, whereas male mice exhibit an increase in mean lifespan of 16% (not statistically significant). Long-lived Igf1r+/- mice do not develop dwarfism, have normal energy metabolism, food and water intake, unaffected nutrient uptake, physical activity, glucose regulation, serum insulin and glucose, fertility and reproduction [12483226]. Heterozygous Igf1r mutants are more resistant to paraquat and mouse embryonic fibroblasts derived from them are more resistant to hydrogen peroxide [8402901]. | Mouse | +16 to 33 | — | — |
| Homozygous Prdx1 knockout | Homozygous Prdx1 knockout mice have a lifespan significant shorter than +/+ and +/- littermates and develop severe haemolytic anaemia and several malignant cancers (starting at about 9 months of age) [12891360] | Mouse | — | — | — |
| 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 | — | — |
| Diabenol treatment | In female NMRI and transgenic HER-2/neu mice supplementation of diabenol with drinking water 5 times a week since the age of 2 months, increases survival and inhibits spontaneous carcinogenesis.
In NMRI diabenol does not influence body weight gain dynamics, food and water consumption, but slowed down age-related disturbances in estrous function and increases the lifespan of all and 10% most long-living ones. Diabenol treatment in NMRI mice also inhibits spontaneous tumor incidence (mammary and lymphomas mainly) and increases mammary tumor latency. Diabenol treatment slows down age-related changes in estrous function in HER-2/neu mice, but fails to influence survival and slightly inhibited the incidence and decrease the size of mammary adenocarcinoma metastasis into the lung [15754958]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| THC treatment | In male mice supplementation with tetrahydrocurcumin beginning at the age of 13 month increases the mean lifespan by an average of 84 days, i.e. an increase of 11.7% [17516143]. | Mouse | +11.7 | — | — |
| Bax knockout | Inactivation of proapoptotic Bax extends fertile potential and minimized age-related health problems, including bone and muscle loss, excess fat deposition, alopecia, cataracts, deafness, increased anxiety, and selective attention deficit. Bax deficiency does not lead to an increase in tumor incidence. Despite the apparently increased quality of life of aging females lacing Bax, there is no significant differences in overall lifespan [17360389]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Foxm1 overexpression | Increased hepatocyte expression in 12-month-old (aged) transgenic mice of Foxm1b alone is sufficient to restore hepatocyte proliferation to levels found in 2-month-old (young) regenerating liver [14647066]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Pten overexpression | Increasing gene dosage via homogeneous and moderate overexpression, while retaining its normal pattern of tissue expression of Pten increases mean, median and maximum lifespan in both females and males. Mean lifespan is extended by 18% (males), 11% (females) and 14% (both). Median lifespan in males, females and both increases by 12%, 16% and 12%, respectively [22405073]. Transgenic Pten mice carrying the additional genomic copies of Pten are protected from cancer and present a significant extension of lifespan that is independent of their lower cancer incidence. Pten(g) mice have an increased energy expenditure and protection from metabolic pathologies [22405073]. | Mouse | +14 | +12 | — |
| Dnmt gene therapy | Injecting a virus that contains extra copies of a Dnmt into elderly mice restored their faulty memories to it oiriganal capacity of young ones. Halving the amount of Dnmt produced by younger mice, deteriotes their memory to that of non-treated older mice [http://www.medicaldaily.com/news/20120702/10573/aging-memory-dna-enzyme-forgetfulness-young-old.htm]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Intermittent fasting | Intemittent fasting diet increases survivorship and improves insuli sensitivity of normal males, but fails to affect either parameter in GHRKO mice [19747233]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| Klotho disruption | Klotho disruption results in infertility and signs of premature ageing such as a short lifespan, arteriosclerosis, skin atrophy, osteoporosis, and emphysema. Klotho is highly expressed in brain and kidney [10631108]. The circulating form of Klotho binds to a cell-surface receptor and represses intracellular signals of insulin and IGF1. Perturbing insulin and IGF1 alleviates the aging-like phenotypes in Klotho-deficient mice [16123266]. kl/kl mice initially develop normally but exhibit growth retardation starting at 3-4 weeks of age. Their average lifespan is 61 days (none more than 100 days). These mice gradually become inactive, with reduced stride length, atrophic genital organs, thymus atrophy, arteriosclerosis (medial calcification and intimal thickening), ectopic calcification in arterial walls, osteroposis, skin atrophy, impaired maturation of gonadal cells, emphysema, reduced growth hormone-producing cells in the pituitary gland, slight hypercalcemia, and hyperphosphatemia [9363890]. kl/kl mice have decreased insulin production and increased insulin sensitivity [11016890]. | Mouse | — | — | — |

| Cav1 knockout | Knockout mice are viable and fertile but exhibit an approximately 50% reduction in lifespan probably due to a combination of pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, and cardiac hypertrophy [14690422]. | Mouse | -50 | — | — |
| Prop1 knockout | Knockouts of Prop1 are dwarf (hence called the Ames dwarf mice) but live approximately 1 year longer than controls. Mean lifespan of males and females is extended by 49 and 68%, respectively Ames dwarf mice are small due to retarded post-natal growth and have primary pituitary deficiency consisting of the absence of, or extreme reduction in, anterior pituitary cells which produces growth hormone, prolactin and thyroid-stimulating hormone, and consequently a deficiency in these hormones. Levels of IGF1 is also extreme low in Ames dwarf mice [8900272]. | Mouse | +49 to +68 | — | — |
| 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 | — | — | — |
| Sod2 heterozyogous knockout | Life-long reduction in MnSOD activity leads to increased levels of oxidative DNA damage and increase cancer incidience, but does not appear to affect aging. Sod2(+/-) mice that have a 50% reduction in MnSOD activity in all tissues throughout the life have increased oxidative damage as evidenced by significantly elevated levels of 8-oxo-2-deoxyguanosine in nuclear DNA (in all tissues) as well as in mitochondrial DNA (in lver and brain). Increased oxidative damage to DNA is associated with a 100% increase in tumor incidience in old Sod2(+/-) mice. However, mean and maximum lifespan of Sod2(+/-) and wild-type mice is identical. Biomarkers of aging, such as catarct formation, immune response, and formation of glycooxidation products carboxylmethyl lysine and pentosidine in skin collagen changes with age to the same extent in both wild-type and Sod2(+/-) mice.
Sod2(+/-);Gpx(-/-) animals exhibit no reduction in lifespan, despite increased levels of oxidative damage and neoplasms as well as tumorgenesis [19776219]. | Mouse | — | — | — |
| High fat diet | Lifelong feeding of a high-fat diet markedly reduces lifespan of mice by about 20% for both mean and maximum lifespan [22509016]. | Mouse | -20 | — | -20 |
