A variety of molecular and cellular changes distinguish the multifaceted biological process of aging. Recent studies in this decade have demonstrated the essential role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the aging process. Mitochondrial malfunction and increased oxidative stress are major contributors for the aging process. This review investigates the role of EVs in intercellular communication, tissue regeneration, and inflammation in the context of aging. We also discuss the exosome and its utility to reduce oxidative stress, which is a key part of aging, as well as the possibility of using the exosomes (EVs) as anti-aging drugs. Changes in cargo composition can influence the aging phenotype and impact the functionality of cells and tissues. Additionally, the role of EVs in oxidative stress during the aging process addresses potential treatment strategies and the development of biomarkers for age-associated disorders. The review also highlighted the role of exosomes in providing antioxidant properties, which help reduce excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) and strengthen cellular defenses against oxidative stress. Additionally, it emphasized the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in age-related pathologies, such as neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular disorders, and immunosenescence, offering insights into targeted interventions for promoting healthy aging. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current body of knowledge regarding the therapeutic effects of EVs on aging, with a particular emphasis on the implications of this emerging field of research and its relationship to oxidative stress.
多种分子和细胞变化区分了衰老这一复杂的生物学过程。近十年来的研究表明细胞外囊泡(EVs)在衰老过程中起着至关重要的作用。线粒体功能障碍和氧化应激增加是衰老过程的主要促成因素。本综述探讨了细胞外囊泡在衰老背景下的细胞间通讯、组织再生和炎症中的作用。我们还讨论了外泌体及其减轻氧化应激(衰老的关键部分)的效用,以及使用外泌体(细胞外囊泡)作为抗衰老药物的可能性。货物成分的变化会影响衰老表型,并影响细胞和组织的功能。此外,细胞外囊泡在衰老过程中的氧化应激中的作用涉及潜在的治疗策略以及与年龄相关疾病的生物标志物的开发。该综述还强调了外泌体在提供抗氧化特性方面的作用,这有助于减少过量的活性氧(ROS)并加强细胞对氧化应激的防御。此外,它强调了细胞外囊泡在与年龄相关的病理状况中的作用,如神经退行性疾病、心血管疾病和免疫衰老,为促进健康衰老的靶向干预提供了见解。本文对目前关于细胞外囊泡对衰老的治疗作用的知识体系进行了全面分析,特别强调了这一新兴研究领域的意义及其与氧化应激的关系。
