AMPK is an important kinase regulating energy homeostasis and also a key protein involved in a variety of signal transduction pathways. It plays a vitally regulatory role in cellular senescence. Activation of AMPK can delay or block the aging process, which is of great significance in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and other aging related diseases, and provides a potential target for new indications such as Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, AMPK signaling pathway plays an important role in aging research. The in-depth study of AMPK activators will provide more new directions for the treatment of age-related maladies and the development of innovative drugs. Autophagy is a process that engulfs and degrades own cytoplasm or organelles. Thereby, meeting the metabolic demands and updating certain organelles of the cell has become a hotspot in the field of anti-aging in recent years. AMPK plays an important role between autophagy and senescence. In our review, the relationship among AMPK signaling, autophagy and aging will be clarified through the interaction between AMPK and mTOR, ULK1, FOXO, p53, SIRT1, and NF -κB.

A decline in cellular quality control mechanisms is one of the processes of brain aging. Autophagy and proteostasis are two regulatory mechanisms that maintain cellular component turnover to preserve cellular homeostasis, optimal function, and neuronal health by eliminating damaged and aggregated proteins and preventing neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs). Impaired autophagy and proteostasis are significant hallmarks of aging and many age-related NDDs.

Autophagy refers to the proteolytic degradation of cytoplasmic components by lysosomes, and includes three defined types: macroautophagy, chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA), and microautophagy. Although the regulatory pathways of macroautophagy are well defined, how CMA is accurately regulated remains less understood. In recent years, emerging evidence has suggested that chaperone-mediated autophagy is regulated by multiple mechanisms at nucleic acid and protein levels.

Arsenic (As), a widespread environmental pollutant, can induce severe neurological damage worldwide; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) has been reported to exert neuroprotective effects against various neurological diseases by resisting mitochondrial damage and autophagy through deacetylation. In this study, we established a model of HT22 cells exposed to NaAsO and examined the levels of mitochondrial, autophagy, and synaptic damage in HT22 cells and HT22 cells with high expression of SIRT1 (pre-treated with the agonist SRT1720) 24 h after exposure.

Neuron-derived clone 77 (Nur77), a member of the orphan nuclear receptor family, is expressed and activated rapidly in response to diverse physiological and pathological stimuli. It exerts complex biological functions, including roles in the nervous system, genome integrity, cell differentiation, homeostasis, oxidative stress, autophagy, aging, and infection. Recent studies suggest that Nur77 agonists alleviate symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target in such conditions.

Background: Skeletal muscle, as the largest organ in the body and the main protein pool, is crucial for various physiological processes, but atrophy of skeletal muscle can result from glucocorticoids, including dexamethasone, or from aging. Astaxanthin (AST) is a ketocarotenoid with a variety of physiological activities. However, the clinical application of AST is hampered by its strong hydrophobicity, intense off-flavors, and susceptibility to oxidation.
