Abstract

Abstract:

Aging is an irresistible natural change in the organisms over time， manifested by changes of the morphological structures， decline of physiological functions， and occurrence of many geriatric diseases. Spermidine， a natural polyamine， shows great potential in alleviating the aging process. Recent studies showed that spermidine could clean senescent cells， repair damaged tissues， reduce the occurrence of aging-related diseases by activating autophagy， clean damaged mitochondria， interfere the lipid metabolism and regulate cell cycles. The major synthesis processes in vivo and in vitro， molecular mechanisms to alleviate aging， and therapeutic roles in aging-related diseases of spermidine were systematically described in this review， in order to provide reference for the prognosis and clinical treatment of age-related diseases.

Key words: spermidine, autophagy, senescence, geriatric diseases

摘要：

衰老是机体随着时间推移而发生的不可抗拒的自然变化，表现为生物体形态结构的改变和生理功能的衰退，同时伴随着多种老年性疾病的发生。亚精胺作为天然的多胺类物质，在抑制机体衰老进程中发挥着重要作用。最近的研究表明，亚精胺通过激活细胞自噬，清除受损的线粒体，干预脂肪代谢和调节细胞周期等方式，清除衰老细胞，维持组织微环境稳定，抑制衰老相关疾病的发生和进展。系统地阐述了亚精胺的体内和体外的合成过程，缓解细胞衰老的分子机制，以及在减缓机体衰老生理过程和多种衰老相关疾病中的治疗作用，以期为衰老相关疾病的转归与临床治疗提供参考。
