Effect of rapamycin on aging and age-related diseases—past and future

Selvarani, Ramasamy, Mohammed, Sabira, Richardson, Arlan·2021·GeroScience

Abstract

In 2009, rapamycin was reported to increase the lifespan of mice when implemented later in life. This observation resulted in a sea-change in how researchers viewed aging. This was the first evidence that a pharmacological agent could have an impact on aging when administered later in life, i.e., an intervention that did not have to be implemented early in life before the negative impact of aging. Over the past decade, there has been an explosion in the number of reports studying the effect of rapamycin on various diseases, physiological functions, and biochemical processes in mice. In this review, we focus on those areas in which there is strong evidence for rapamycin’s effect on aging and age-related diseases in mice, e.g., lifespan, cardiac disease/function, central nervous system, immune system, and cell senescence. We conclude that it is time that pre-clinical studies be focused on taking rapamycin to the clinic, e.g., as a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.

  • A notable feature of effective anti-aging interventions is the diverse mechanisms by which they target different aging hallmarks in different tissues to maintain healthspan of the whole organism.

    “a notable feature of effective anti-aging interventions, such as lowered insulin/IGF-1 signaling 296 and disruption of the TORC1 complex 296,297 , is the diverse mechanisms by which they target different aging hallmarks in different tissues to maintain healthspan of the whole organism.”

    From Hallmarks of aging: An expanding universe (2023) · cites this paper as [297]

    The Summary (page not available in our copy) reports that rapamycin affects cancer, cardiac and brain aging, and senescence across cell types in mice, supporting broad effects in different tissues. The review does not establish the broader claim that effective anti-aging interventions characteristically use diverse mechanisms to target different aging hallmarks and thereby maintain whole-organism healthspan.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
