Abstract

Brain aging is driven by interconnected processes, including impaired autophagy, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence, all of which contribute to neurovascular decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Targeting these mechanisms simultaneously offers a promising therapeutic approach. This review explores the rationale for combining metformin, benzimidazole derivatives, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) as a multi-targeted strategy to restore proteostasis, reduce senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) factors, and enhance mitochondrial and lysosomal function. Metformin activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and promotes autophagy initiation and chaperone-mediated autophagy, whilst benzimidazole derivatives enhance lysosomal fusion through JIP4-TRPML1 pathways independently of mTOR signaling; and ASA augments autophagic flux while suppressing NF-κB-driven inflammation and promoting specialized pro-resolving mediator pathways. This combinatorial approach targets both upstream autophagy initiation and downstream autophagosome-lysosome fusion, while concurrently attenuating inflammation and cellular senescence. Patient stratification based on the biomarkers of autophagy impairment, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction could optimize therapeutic responses. While this strategy shows strong preclinical promise, careful attention to timing, dosing, and cell-specific responses is crucial to maximize benefits and avoid adverse effects. Future studies integrating biomarker-guided precision medicine frameworks are essential to validate the potential of this therapeutic combination in preventing or slowing cognitive decline and promoting healthy brain aging.

摘要

脑衰老由相互关联的过程驱动,包括自噬受损、慢性炎症、线粒体功能障碍和细胞衰老,所有这些都会导致神经血管衰退和神经退行性疾病,如阿尔茨海默病(AD)。同时针对这些机制提供了一种有前景的治疗方法。本综述探讨了联合使用二甲双胍、苯并咪唑衍生物、磷酸二酯酶-5(PDE5)和乙酰水杨酸(ASA)作为多靶点策略来恢复蛋白质稳态、减少衰老相关分泌表型(SASP)因子以及增强线粒体和溶酶体功能的基本原理。二甲双胍激活AMP激活的蛋白激酶(AMPK)并促进自噬起始和伴侣介导的自噬,而苯并咪唑衍生物通过JIP4-TRPML1途径增强溶酶体融合,独立于mTOR信号传导;ASA增强自噬通量,同时抑制NF-κB驱动的炎症并促进特殊的促解决介质途径。这种联合方法既针对上游的自噬起始,又针对下游的自噬体-溶酶体融合,同时减轻炎症和细胞衰老。基于自噬受损、炎症和代谢功能障碍的生物标志物进行患者分层可以优化治疗反应。虽然这种策略在临床前显示出强大的前景,但仔细关注时间、剂量和细胞特异性反应对于最大化益处和避免不良反应至关重要。整合生物标志物引导的精准医学框架的未来研究对于验证这种治疗组合在预防或减缓认知衰退以及促进健康脑衰老方面的潜力至关重要。
