中國科學院動物研究所劉光慧等研究人員合作發(fā)現,二甲雙胍可減緩雄性猴子的衰老時鐘。相關論文于2024年9月12日在線發(fā)表于國際學術期刊《細胞》。
在一項為期40個月的嚴謹研究中,研究人員評估了二甲雙胍對成年雄性食蟹猴的抗衰老作用,填補了靈長類動物衰老研究的空白。該研究包含全面的生理、影像、組織學和分子評估,證實了二甲雙胍在整體水平上延緩與年齡相關表型的影響。
具體而言,研究人員利用全組織轉錄組學、DNA甲基化組學、血漿蛋白質組學和代謝組學開發(fā)了創(chuàng)新的猴子衰老時鐘,并應用這些方法評估了二甲雙胍對衰老的影響。結果顯示衰老指標顯著減緩,尤其是在大腦衰老方面大約回退了6年。
二甲雙胍對大腦具有顯著的神經保護作用,能夠維持大腦結構并增強認知能力。其對靈長類動物神經元的抗衰老效果,部分通過激活具有抗氧化功能的轉錄因子Nrf2來實現。該研究開創(chuàng)了通過二甲雙胍,系統性降低靈長類動物多維生物年齡的途徑,為推動針對人類衰老的藥物策略提供了新方向。

Abstract: In a rigorous 40-month study, we evaluated the geroprotective effects of metformin on adult male cynomolgus monkeys, addressing a gap in primate aging research. The study encompassed a comprehensive suite of physiological, imaging, histological, and molecular evaluations, substantiating metformin’s influence on delaying age-related phenotypes at the organismal level. Specifically, we leveraged pan-tissue transcriptomics, DNA methylomics, plasma proteomics, and metabolomics to develop innovative monkey aging clocks and applied these to gauge metformin’s effects on aging. The results highlighted a significant slowing of aging indicators, notably a roughly 6-year regression in brain aging. Metformin exerts a substantial neuroprotective effect, preserving brain structure and enhancing cognitive ability. The geroprotective effects on primate neurons were partially mediated by the activation of Nrf2, a transcription factor with anti-oxidative capabilities. Our research pioneers the systemic reduction of multi-dimensional biological age in primates through metformin, paving the way for advancing pharmaceutical strategies against human aging.
