Autophagy, a cellular mechanism involved in the breakdown and recycling of damaged proteins and organelles, and cellular senescence, a state of irreversible growth arrest, are both processes implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. The intricate interplay of these processes has received increasing attention, shedding light on their cumulative role in driving the development of atherosclerosis. Recent studies have revealed that Nrf2 plays a critical role in mediating autophagy and senescence in atherosclerosis progression. Nrf2 activation promotes autophagy, which increases lipid clearance and prevents the development of foam cells. Meanwhile, the activation of Nrf2 also inhibits cellular senescence by regulating the expression of senescence markers to preserve cellular homeostasis and function and delay the progression of atherosclerosis.
