無病無痛，沒有任何交通或人為意外的話，人類是否會進入不死永生狀態呢？133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjnfzIg5bf
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KgMBfy9ht
答案是，不會。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVnTxJvBFJ
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw6yn2c5OQ
箇中的原因，就是在於染色體亦即是DNA的運作機制之上。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRY2OxDFQH

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP3UJK1u95
（圖1）正常人體細胞分裂的時候，染色體的長度會越來越短。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXski8E2nc

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOND8SvDrTH
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV1Nj6XcAX
（圖2）染色體的頂端區域，我們稱之為Telomere。正常細胞分裂後，Telomere的長度便會越來越短，所以導致染色體的總長度亦會有所減少。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN81waylVX
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDo5LUi73A
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKDP5Ec3Uf
（圖3）而幹細胞進行分裂的時候，則會有著Telomerase的協助，導致Telomere的長度便並不會有所減少。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFNLZCVaTB
然而，當幹細胞變成正常細胞後，Telomerase的功能便會消失。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzihxdOaxOG

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2OGApUGnC
（圖4）當Telomere長度削減到一定程度的時候，細胞便會自行啟動機制滅亡，又或者陷入衰老(Senescence)狀態。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4wjaVTPgh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMttSJMQYHL
細胞滅亡或衰老的話，器官的功能便會衰退，最後亦會支撐不住，無法正常運作，促成死亡。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9FIZKIIak

133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh4xaRfLPS
你可能會問，現在科技如此倡明，那麼我們只要學習幹細胞的那一套方式，動用外力重啟Telomerase功能，那不就能踏入永生嗎？133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchqhgPaWjE
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA2NQ66ZoF
這個思路並沒有錯，只不過代價就是會增加患癌的風險。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BcslgxFaY
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIPRrfzPSH
事實上，不少癌細胞的特徵就是Telomere長度非常之短，但又有著一定水平的Telomerase功能穩定維持著Telomere的長度，逃避進入滅亡的命運。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg13oyAm7M1
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHXbHlrXi9
另一方面的想，如果細胞真的是踏入「永生」狀態的話，終有一天無可避免會累積各種的DNA變異，促成癌細胞的誕生。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWHS6Rwip

（圖5）既然Telomere對細胞的壽命有著重要影響的話，那麼一些較為長壽的物種是否擁有較長的Telomere呢？133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgTb89s3kh
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh034GLpvhP
科學家比較各物種的Telomere後（Ref1)，發現海豚的起始Telomere長度比人類高出6倍以上，但壽命長度始終是人類佔優。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YWZBtwFbb
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZe5aMVLHg
133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaOfOYrCL0
反而，決定物種壽命長度的其中一種因素，則是Telomere衰減的速度；133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQUUxOPuSI
Telomere衰減的速度只是一個參考性的指標，並非絕對。物種的大小、新陳代謝機制的不同等等均會對壽命長度有著影響。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83F9F7bMbc

人類每年約會減少71單位Telomere的長度，最高壽命為120歲。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI4B0xYqoS
而老鼠每年會減少7000單位Telomere長度，最高壽命為5歲。133Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9m2y822yR
