人参皂苷抗衰老机制的研究进展

人参皂苷的抗衰老作用被认为是人参皂苷的重要作用之一。人参皂苷主要通过四种途径实现其抗衰老功能:通过提高机体内SOD、CAT、GSH2Px活性,诱导SOD、CAT基因表达,减少LPO、MDA含量等实现其抗衰老作用;通过促进神经递质释放、增加神经递质传递者(Ach)含量、促进NBM神经元TrkB mRNA表达、阻止神经原产生过量硝酸盐等实现其抗衰老功能;通过免疫系统在细胞和分子水平上的适度调节延缓衰老;人参皂苷亦能通过影响细胞周期调控因子、衰老基因表达,延长端粒长度、增强端粒酶活性等来实现其抗衰老功能。人参皂苷抗衰老的更完善和更深入的分子作用机制研究将成为未来研究的重点之一。

Anti-aging effects of hesperidin on Saccharomyces cerevisiae via inhibition of reactive oxygen species and UTH1 gene expression

This study used a replicative lifespan assay of K6001 yeast to screen anti-aging food factors in commercial flavonoids. Hesperidin derived from the Citrus genus extended the lifespan of yeast at doses of 5 and 10 μM as compared with the control group (p<0.01, p<0.01). Reactive oxygen species (ROS), real-time PCR (RT-PCR), and lifespan assays of uth1 and skn7 mutants with the K6001 background were used to study the anti-aging mechanisms in yeast. The results indicate that hesperidin significantly inhibits the ROS of yeast, and UTH1 gene expression, and that SKN7 gene are involved in hesperidin-mediated lifespan extension. Further, increases in the Sir2 homolog, SIRT1 activity, and SOD gene expression were confirmed at doses of 5 (p<0.01) and 10 μM (p<0.05). This suggests that Sir2, UTH1 genes, and ROS inhibition after administration of hesperidin have important roles in the anti-aging effects of yeast. However, the aglycon hesperetin did not exhibit anti-aging effects in yeast.

益生菌潜在的抗衰老作用

在机体衰老的过程中,会出现2种明显的生理变化即免疫功能衰退和氧化损伤,本文从益生菌的免疫调节作用和抗氧化作用两方面讨论了它们对衰老过程的影响,提出益生菌潜在的抗衰老作用与其抗氧化和免疫调节作用之间存在必然的联系。目前,在部分加速衰老模型中对益生菌抗衰老的研究结果令人鼓舞。本文分析了现在普遍采用的几种衰老评价模型的机制,并指出在筛选和评价益生菌的抗衰老作用时,有必要进一步建立和完善采用与衰老过程相关酶作为靶位酶的体外抗衰老模型,如单胺氧化酶抑制模型或可以反应氧化损伤的细胞模型如Caco-2细胞模型。在此基础上,应用特定的衰老动物模型对体外试验所获得的结果予以验证,以期更客观有效地评价益生菌发挥其抗衰老功效的作用机制。

Molecular docking analysis of imine stilbene analogs and evaluation of their anti-aging activity using yeast and mammalian cell models

The NAD⁺-dependent histone deacetylase SIRT1 was shown to be associated with aging and longevity. A stilbene, resveratrol (RV) was shown to exert anti-aging activity by stimulating the SIRT1 activity. However, the utility of RV is limited by its low bioavailability and structural instability. It is thus envisaged to test imine stilbene (IMS) analogs of RV for their potential anti-aging activity. In the present study, molecular docking analysis of five IMS analogs (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d and 3e) against the SIRT1 protein has been carried out. All the five IMS analogs displayed enhanced binding affinity towards SIRT1; three out of five IMS analogs (3a, 3?b, 3e) showed significantly higher affinity with lower binding energies (?9.58, ?9.54, and ?9.82?kcal mol^?1) than RV (?8.11?kcal mol^?1). Further, experimental validation of anti-aging activity was performed by measuring the chronological life span in vitro using yeast and cellular replicative senescence (CRS) in mammalian cell line models. All IMS analogs extended the chronological life span in yeast as compared to untreated cells as well as RV treated cells. Enhanced anti-aging activity was also observed in an analogous mammalian cell line model upon treatment with either RV or IMS analogs. The results thus suggest that most of the IMS analogs tested may serve as potent drug lead molecules with anti-aging activity.     

Longevity control in fungi and other organisms. The conception of scales

The review deals mainly with gerontological processes that occur on the cellular-colonial level of organization in fungi and cellular-tissular level in other organisms. Aging and anti-aging mechanisms operating on these levels of organization can be considered as common ones for all living things. Fungi, as an object with tissular-like organization of thallus, afford a broad spectrum of possibilities as to solving the tasks of general gerontological import. Three basic (chronological, replicative, and cell-suicidal) and several auxiliary mechanisms of aging are singled out, the classification is given of stochastic aging factors accumulating in cells. It is shown that in complex multi-cellular organisms, aging and anti-aging mechanisms operate on the level of interactions between tissues, though in the base of their actions lie the aforesaid conservative basic mechanisms. Preliminary generalized conception of aging--the conception of scales--is put forward that is founded on the model of balanced and non-balanced counteractions between stressful impacts and various mechanisms of aging and anti-aging with different extent of genetic preprogramming. The importance is reaffirmed of mycological gerontology contribution to broadening of inferences on aging nature.

肠道微生物群在人类健康衰老中的作用机制研究进展北大核心

衰老的特征是组织器官的功能衰退以及衰老相关疾病风险的增加,这给维护和促进健康长寿带来一系列新的挑战。尽管进行了广泛的衰老相关研究,但进展有限。人们越来越意识到肠道微生物群的结构和功能积极参与了衰老过程。肠道微生物群紊乱表现为许多与年龄相关的肠外器官轴的衰老。肠道微生物群可以被调节,这暗示了通过肠道微生物群抗衰老是一个可以实现的重要目标。本综述总结了肠道微生物群在不同年龄段中的动态演替,这种动态的肠道微生物群从胎儿到出生和婴儿期开始迅速发展,从断奶期到幼儿期迅速变化,然后建立稳定的成年人菌群,直到随着年龄增长最后发生衰退;肠道微生物群与肠外器官轴(大脑、心脏、肝脏、胰腺、肌肉、皮肤和骨骼)衰老相关疾病,以及通过饮食、粪菌移植和微生态制剂调节肠道微生物群靶向抗衰老的研究进展,以期为调控肠道微生物群抗衰老研究提供参考。     

Anti-aging treatments slow propagation of synucleinopathy by restoring lysosomal function

Aging is the major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases that are also associated with impaired proteostasis, resulting in abnormal accumulation of protein aggregates. However, the role of aging in development and progression of disease remains elusive. Here, we used Caenorhabditis elegans models to show that aging-promoting genetic variations accelerated the rate of cell-to-cell transmission of SNCA/α-synuclein aggregates, hallmarks of Parkinson disease, and the progression of disease phenotypes, such as nerve degeneration, behavioral deficits, and reduced life span. Genetic and pharmacological anti-aging manipulations slowed the spread of aggregates and the associated phenotypes. Lysosomal degradation was significantly impaired in aging models, while anti-aging treatments reduced the impairment. Transgenic expression of hlh-30p::hlh-30, the master controller of lysosomal biogenesis, alleviated intercellular transmission of aggregates in the aging model. Our results demonstrate that the rate of aging closely correlates with the rate of aggregate propagation and that general anti-aging treatments can slow aggregate propagation and associated disease progression by restoring lysosomal function.

Adrenopause

Dehydroepiandrosterone(DHEA) and DHEA-S are steroids that are abundantly produced by the adrenal gland. Plasma concentrations of DHEA and DHEA-S increase during adrenarche but decrease steadily after puberty. Although DHEA and DHEA-S have few intrinsic androgenic actions, they have recently attracted widespread attention due to their beneficial anti-aging effects. We clarified the beneficial effects of DHEA as an anti-aging steroid with regard to its stimulation of the immune system and its anti-diabetes, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-dementia (neurosteroid), anti-obesity and anti-osteoporosis effects. There are two possible biochemical and molecular mechanisms: direct action via the DHEA receptor on the target gene; and indirect action. We identified a high affinity of DHEA binding in human T-lymphocytes by searching for the target genes that are induced in activated T-lymphocytes in the presence of DHEA, determined the gene sequence and named DHEA-induced dual p38-specific phosphatase (DDSP). DDSP transgenic mice have been created to identify the anti-aging effects of DDSP. The conversion of DHEA to estrone by cytochrome P450 aromatase in primary cultured human osteoblasts was clarified. We are currently undertaking an open trial of DHEA replacement therapy.     

Dietary restriction increases site-specific histone H3 acetylation in rat liver: possible modulation by sirtuins

We studied dietary restriction (DR) related changes of site-specific acetylation of histone H3 in rat livers to explore a possible link to histone modifications and sirtuin levels with anti-aging effects of DR. The acetylation at lysine residue 9, 27 and 56 in H3 was 20-30% higher in DR animals compared with ad libitum fed counterparts. SIRT6, one of histone deacetylases, was significantly decreased by DR and thereby may be involved in an increase in the histone acetylation. Our findings suggest that upregulation of chromatin activities through increased histone acetylation is a mechanism of anti-aging effects of DR.
