Natural flavonoid glycosides Chrysosplenosides I & A rejuvenate intestinal stem cell aging via activation of PPARγ signaling.

ABSTRACT: The decline in intestinal stem cell (ISC) function is a hallmark of aging, contributing to compromised intestinal regeneration and increased incidence of age-associated diseases. Novel therapeutic agents that can rejuvenate aged ISCs are of paramount importance for extending healthspan. Here, we report on the discovery of Chrysosplenosides I and A (CAs 1 & 2), flavonol glycosides from the Xizang medicinal plant Chrysosplenium axillare Maxim., which exhibit potent anti-aging effects on ISCs. Our research, using Drosophila models, reveals that CAs 1 & 2 treatments not only restrain excessive ISC proliferation, thereby preserving intestinal homeostasis, but also extend the lifespan of aging Drosophila. In aged mouse intestinal organoids, CAs 1 & 2 enhance the growth and b
