电离辐射诱导衰老的分子机制及抗衰老药物研究进展

Molecular Mechanisms of Radiation-Induced Senescence and Advances in Anti-Aging Drugs

  • 摘要: 电离辐射通过诱导DNA损伤、氧化应激、端粒功能障碍及线粒体稳态失衡等多途径触发细胞衰老,导致衰老相关分泌表型(SASP)的病理累积,进而引发组织纤维化、免疫抑制及继发肿瘤等放疗远期并发症。靶向衰老细胞及其旁分泌效应的抗衰老药物为改善辐射损伤提供了新策略。目前,衰老细胞清除剂、SASP抑制剂及代谢调节剂等抗衰老干预手段在延缓衰老相关疾病方面已取得显著进展,其机制分别涉及清除衰老细胞、抑制SASP信号和恢复细胞稳态。然而,这些策略在临床转化中仍面临靶向性不足及器官异质性等关键挑战。笔者系统综述电离辐射诱导衰老的分子机制及抗衰老药物的研究进展,以期为优化放疗方案、开发精准抗衰老疗法提供理论依据。

     

    Abstract: Ionizing radiation triggers cellular senescence through multiple pathways, including the induction of DNA damage, oxidative stress, telomere dysfunction, and mitochondrial homeostasis imbalance, leading to pathological accumulation of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). This consequently gives rise to long-term radiotherapy complications such as tissue fibrosis, immunosuppression, and secondary tumors. Anti-aging strategies targeting senescent cells and SASP, including senolytics, senomorphics, and metabolic modulators, have shown potential in mitigating radiation-induced complications. Currently, anti-aging interventions such as senolytics, SASP inhibitors, and metabolic modulators have achieved significant progress in delaying aging-related diseases, with mechanisms involving clearance of senescent cells, inhibition of SASP signaling, and restoration of cellular homeostasis. However, these strategies still face key challenges such as insufficient targeting specificity and organ heterogeneity in clinical translation. This review systematically summarizes the molecular mechanisms of radiation-induced senescence and recent advances in anti-aging drug development, aiming to provide insights for optimizing radiotherapy protocols and advancing precision anti-aging therapies.
