Show abstract
Macroautophagy/autophagy, a critical cellular degradation pathway essential for maintaining neuronal proteostasis, declines with age and has been increasingly implicated in the regulation of synaptic integrity and circuit resilience. Neuropeptide Y (NPY), the most abundantly expressed neuropeptide in the mammalian brain, has emerged as a key modulator of both autophagy and aging-related processes. In Drosophila, the NPY-family peptide short Neuropeptide F (sNPF) has been shown to causally influence aging-associated changes in synaptic architecture and function, particularly at the presynaptic active zone (AZ), via non-cell autonomous mechanisms. Extending this concept to mammals, we investigated whether NPY and autophagy interact within NPY-secreting neurons to regulate age-related AZ remodeling. Our results indicate that hypothalamic NPY/AgRP neurons may exert geroprotective effects through the release of NPY and potentially other signaling molecules, thereby influencing both metabolic homeostasis and brain-wide synaptic function. These data suggest a conserved role for autophagy in maintaining presynaptic organization and resilience during aging.
