Cognitive impairment in people with Parkinson disease (PD) imposes a substantial societal burden: PD affects over 1% of the population aged 65 years and older, and 24–31% of individuals with this condition develop dementia and another 26% present with mild cognitive impairment. Given the increasing prevalence of PD in light of an ageing population, the challenge of PD-associated cognitive impairment is likely to intensify. In this Review, we highlight the latest research advances in PD-associated cognitive impairment, emphasizing emerging mechanistic insights and new biomarkers. We outline the epidemiology and natural history of cognitive decline in PD, focusing on prodromal stages and the closely related spectrum of Lewy body dementia. We discuss key pathophysiological factors and mechanisms, including aggregation and prion-like propagation of α-synuclein; co-pathologies; synaptic dysfunction; genetics; neuroinflammation; mitochondrial dysfunction; oxidative stress; microbiome alterations; degeneration of cholinergic and monoaminergic systems; autonomic dysfunction; altered neuronal network activity; and glymphatic impairment. We consider how advances in fluid and neuroimaging biomarkers, together with preclinical disease models and pathological studies, are providing insights into these mechanisms. A deeper understanding of the multifaceted pathophysiology of PD-associated cognitive impairment will help us to explain the heterogeneity of cognitive profiles and disease progression in PD, providing a foundation for personalized disease-modifying treatments. Cognitive impairment is one of a range of non-motor symptoms that people with Parkinson disease (PD) can experience in addition to the hallmark motor symptoms of the disease. In this Review, Oikonomou et al. outline the epidemiology and natural history of cognitive decline in PD and related disorders, and discuss the key underlying pathophysiological factors and mechanisms.
帕金森病(PD)患者的认知障碍带来了巨大的社会负担:PD影响了超过1%的65岁及以上人口,24-31%的患者发展为痴呆,另有26%的患者表现为轻度认知障碍。随着人口老龄化,帕金森病的患病率越来越高,与帕金森病相关的认知障碍的挑战可能会加剧。在这篇综述中,我们重点介绍了pd相关认知障碍的最新研究进展,重点介绍了新的机制见解和新的生物标志物。我们概述了PD的流行病学和认知能力下降的自然历史,重点是前驱阶段和与路易体痴呆密切相关的频谱。我们讨论了关键的病理生理因素和机制,包括α-突触核蛋白的聚集和朊病毒样增殖;co-pathologies;突触功能障碍;遗传学;神经炎症;线粒体功能障碍;氧化应激;微生物变化;胆碱能和单胺能系统退化;自主神经功能障碍;神经网络活动改变;还有淋巴损伤。我们考虑流体和神经成像生物标志物的进步,以及临床前疾病模型和病理研究,如何为这些机制提供见解。深入了解PD相关认知障碍的多方面病理生理将有助于我们解释PD患者认知特征和疾病进展的异质性,为个性化的疾病改善治疗提供基础。

Accumulating evidence indicates that Alzheimer disease (AD) is caused by dysregulated microglial phagocytosis. The main risk factor for AD is age, and ageing reduces microglial phagocytosis of amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, while increasing microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons. Most of the known genetic risk for AD can be linked to microglial phagocytosis, including ABCA1, ABI3, ACE, ADAM17, APOE, APP, BIN1, BLNK, CD2AP, CD33, CLU, CR1, CTSB, CTSH, EED, GRN, INPP5D, LILRB2, PICALM, PLCG2, PSEN1, PTK2B, SIGLEC11, SORL1, SPI1, TMEM106B and TREM2. Moreover, the only disease-modifying treatments for AD — anti-Aβ antibodies — work by increasing microglial phagocytosis of Aβ aggregates. Microglial phagocytosis of Aβ via TREM2, LRP1, CD33, TAM receptors and anti-Aβ antibodies appears to reduce AD pathology by pruning and compacting plaques, restricting subsequent tau pathology, whereas microglial phagocytosis of synapses and neurons seems detrimental in the later stages of AD, via complement, P2Y6 receptor and TREM2. However, the roles of microglial phagocytosis in AD are complex and multifaceted, and improved treatments are likely to require a deeper understanding of these roles. Growing evidence indicates important roles for microglial phagocytosis in Alzheimer disease. This Review summarizes the latest insights into the mechanisms by which microglial phagocytosis can affect Alzheimer disease pathology and how this process might be harnessed for therapeutic interventions.
越来越多的证据表明,阿尔茨海默病(AD)是由失调的小胶质细胞吞噬引起的。阿尔茨海默病的主要危险因素是年龄,衰老减少了淀粉样蛋白-β (Aβ)斑块的小胶质细胞吞噬,同时增加了突触和神经元的小胶质细胞吞噬。大多数已知的AD遗传风险可与小胶质细胞吞噬有关,包括ABCA1、ABI3、ACE、ADAM17、APOE、APP、BIN1、BLNK、CD2AP、CD33、CLU、CR1、CTSB、CTSH、EED、GRN、INPP5D、LILRB2、PICALM、PLCG2、PSEN1、PTK2B、SIGLEC11、SORL1、SPI1、TMEM106B和TREM2。此外,阿尔茨海默病唯一的疾病改善治疗-抗Aβ抗体-通过增加Aβ聚集体的小胶质细胞吞噬而起作用。通过TREM2、LRP1、CD33、TAM受体和抗Aβ抗体的小胶质细胞吞噬Aβ似乎通过修剪和压实斑块来减少AD的病理,限制随后的tau病理,而突触和神经元的小胶质细胞吞噬似乎在AD的后期阶段有害,通过补体、p2y6受体和TREM2。然而,小胶质细胞吞噬在阿尔茨海默病中的作用是复杂和多方面的,改进的治疗可能需要更深入地了解这些作用。越来越多的证据表明小胶质细胞吞噬在阿尔茨海默病中的重要作用。本文综述了关于小胶质细胞吞噬作用影响阿尔茨海默病病理机制的最新见解,以及如何利用这一过程进行治疗干预。

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is among the most common causes of disability in the young and, despite the advent of highly effective disease-modifying therapies, remains an incurable disease. Prevention of MS before the onset of demyelination is a feasible, albeit ambitious, goal. Currently, preventive interventions with adequate evidence of efficacy are lacking, and evaluating such interventions with traditional trial designs is challenging. Additionally, the high frequency and low effect sizes of putative MS risk factors, a limited window of opportunity to intervene, and the relatively low incidence of MS in the general population make prevention studies conceptually and practically difficult. Nevertheless, studies in radiologically isolated syndrome have generated momentum within the MS prevention space, and novel trial designs offer the potential for reimagining traditional randomized controlled trials. In this Perspective, we discuss the challenges in developing and testing preventive interventions in MS and, drawing on progress in other diseases, we propose strategies and solutions. We discuss pragmatic approaches to risk stratification and illustrate the importance of considering statistical power and outcome definitions. Prevention studies require careful thought with respect to risk stratification, communication, intervention and outcomes but, given the current knowledge, the time to set up and start MS prediction and prevention studies is now.
多发性硬化症(MS)是年轻人致残的最常见原因之一,尽管出现了非常有效的疾病修饰疗法,但仍是一种无法治愈的疾病。在脱髓鞘发生前预防多发性硬化症是可行的,尽管这是一个雄心勃勃的目标。目前,缺乏具有足够有效性证据的预防性干预措施,并且用传统的试验设计评估此类干预措施具有挑战性。此外,假定的MS危险因素的高频率和低效应量,有限的干预机会窗口,以及MS在一般人群中相对较低的发病率使得预防研究在概念上和实践上都很困难。然而,放射孤立综合征的研究在MS预防领域产生了动力,新的试验设计为重新构想传统的随机对照试验提供了潜力。在这一观点中,我们讨论了开发和测试MS预防干预措施所面临的挑战,并借鉴其他疾病的进展,提出了策略和解决方案。我们讨论了风险分层的实用方法,并说明了考虑统计能力和结果定义的重要性。预防研究需要仔细考虑风险分层、沟通、干预和结果,但鉴于目前的知识,现在是建立和启动MS预测和预防研究的时候了。

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements (PLMs) are increasingly recognized as risk factors for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases, particularly stroke. Conversely, stroke can precipitate or exacerbate the symptoms of RLS and PLMs. This Review explores the shared pathophysiological mechanisms linking RLS and PLMs to cerebrovascular pathology, highlighting a bidirectional relationship. We discuss mechanisms including neurotransmitter dysregulation, autonomic dysfunction, inflammation, oxidative stress, hypoxia and genomic and proteomic factors. Furthermore, we summarize emerging evidence and provide new insights on the potential clinical relevance of RLS in cerebrovascular risk assessment and management. Restless legs syndrome and periodic limb movements are increasingly recognized as risk factors for stroke and other cerebrovascular and cardiovascular diseases and vice versa. This Review explores the shared pathophysiological mechanisms that could underly this bidirectional relationship.
不宁腿综合征(RLS)和周期性肢体运动(PLMs)越来越被认为是脑血管和心血管疾病,特别是中风的危险因素。相反,中风可加速或加重RLS和PLMs的症状。本文探讨了RLS和PLMs与脑血管病理之间的共同病理生理机制,强调了两者之间的双向关系。我们讨论的机制包括神经递质失调、自主神经功能障碍、炎症、氧化应激、缺氧以及基因组和蛋白质组学因素。此外,我们总结了新出现的证据,并就RLS在脑血管风险评估和管理中的潜在临床相关性提供了新的见解。不宁腿综合征和周期性肢体运动越来越被认为是中风和其他脑血管和心血管疾病的危险因素,反之亦然。这篇综述探讨了这种双向关系背后的共同病理生理机制。

According to the MS International Federation, the global prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) is increasing, although regional variations have been reported, which could provide valuable insights into MS pathophysiology. As we highlight in this Review, the prevalence of MS in Latin America is comparatively low, possibly owing at least in part to the unique genetic and environmental characteristics of this region. Latin America has experienced centuries of admixture between Native American Indian populations and people from other parts of the world, including Europe and — to a lesser extent — Africa. Moreover, certain environmental factors in the Southern Hemisphere might contribute to this reduced MS prevalence. The McDonald criteria are considered to be a useful tool to diagnose MS in Latin America, although it is important to exclude regional diseases that can mimic MS. MS research is burgeoning in the region, and increasing numbers of Latin American patients are participating in randomized clinical trials. In addition, real-world data from national and regional MS registries are helping us to understand the distinct features of the disease in Latin America. This article reviews the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Latin America and how they might be influenced by genetic, environmental and socioeconomic factors that are unique to this region. The authors also describe diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis and current approaches to MS treatment and management in Latin American countries.
据多发性硬化症国际联合会称,全球多发性硬化症(MS)的患病率正在上升,尽管已经报道了区域差异,这可能为MS病理生理学提供有价值的见解。正如我们在本综述中强调的那样,MS在拉丁美洲的患病率相对较低,可能至少部分归因于该地区独特的遗传和环境特征。拉丁美洲经历了几个世纪的美洲土著印第安人与世界其他地区,包括欧洲和(在较小程度上)非洲人的混合。此外,南半球的某些环境因素可能有助于降低MS患病率。麦当劳标准被认为是拉丁美洲诊断多发性硬化症的有用工具,尽管排除可能模仿多发性硬化症的区域性疾病很重要,但该地区的多发性硬化症研究正在蓬勃发展,越来越多的拉丁美洲患者正在参与随机临床试验。此外,来自国家和地区多发性硬化症登记处的真实数据正在帮助我们了解该疾病在拉丁美洲的独特特征。本文综述了拉丁美洲多发性硬化症(MS)的流行病学和临床特征,以及该地区特有的遗传、环境和社会经济因素对其的影响。作者还描述了拉丁美洲国家MS的诊断标准、鉴别诊断和目前的治疗和管理方法。

Huntington disease: somatic expansion, pathobiology and therapeutics 亨廷顿病:躯体扩张、病理生物学和治疗学

Expansion of simple DNA repeats causes over 45 human, predominantly neurodegenerative, inherited disorders. Huntington disease is a fatal, inherited, neurodegenerative disease caused by a CAG repeat expansion in the huntingtin gene (HTT), resulting in a toxic polyglutamine tract in the huntingtin protein. The disease leads to progressive motor, cognitive and psychiatric decline, primarily resulting from loss of medium spiny neurons in the striatum. Although Huntington disease has long been viewed as a consequence of age-dependent toxicity from mutant huntingtin, genome-wide association studies have identified genetic modifiers, mostly DNA repair genes, that significantly influence disease onset and progression. These findings point to somatic CAG repeat expansions in affected tissues as a key pathological mechanism. This emerging paradigm suggests that disease progression is not solely protein-driven but also shaped at the DNA level, a mechanism that is shared among other repeat expansion disorders. Therapeutically, this discovery opens new opportunities: interventions to limit somatic repeat expansion might be effective across multiple repeat expansion diseases and, when combined with disease-specific approaches, such as huntingtin lowering in Huntington disease, might offer more effective and longer-lasting clinical benefits than either strategy in isolation. This approach also poses challenges, determining the optimal point for therapeutic intervention and how best to establish phenotypic improvement in clinical trials when the target tissue is the brain. Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic modifiers, mostly DNA repair genes, that significantly influence the onset and progression of Huntington disease, pointing to somatic CAG repeat expansions as a key pathological driver. Here, Tabrizi and colleagues review the evidence for this paradigm and discuss the potential for therapeutic interventions.
简单DNA重复序列的扩增导致超过45种人类疾病,主要是神经退行性和遗传性疾病。亨廷顿病是一种致命的遗传性神经退行性疾病,由亨廷顿蛋白基因(HTT)的CAG重复扩增引起,导致亨廷顿蛋白中的毒性聚谷氨酰胺束。该疾病导致进行性运动、认知和精神衰退,主要是由于纹状体中中棘神经元的丧失。虽然亨廷顿病长期以来被认为是突变亨廷顿蛋白的年龄依赖性毒性的结果,但全基因组关联研究已经确定了遗传修饰因子,主要是DNA修复基因,它们显著影响疾病的发生和进展。这些发现表明,受影响组织中体细胞CAG重复扩增是一个关键的病理机制。这种新出现的模式表明,疾病进展不仅是蛋白质驱动的,而且在DNA水平上形成,这是其他重复扩增疾病共有的机制。在治疗上,这一发现开辟了新的机会:限制体细胞重复扩增的干预措施可能对多种重复扩增疾病有效,并且当与特定疾病的方法相结合时,例如亨廷顿病的亨廷顿蛋白降低,可能比单独使用任何一种策略提供更有效和更持久的临床益处。这种方法也带来了挑战,确定治疗干预的最佳点,以及当目标组织是大脑时,如何在临床试验中最好地建立表型改善。全基因组关联研究已经确定了遗传修饰因子,主要是DNA修复基因,显著影响亨廷顿病的发病和进展,指出体细胞CAG重复扩增是一个关键的病理驱动因素。在这里,Tabrizi和他的同事回顾了这一范式的证据,并讨论了治疗干预的潜力。

Although Huntington disease has long been viewed as a consequence of age-dependent toxicity from mutant huntingtin, genome-wide association studies have identified genetic modifiers, mostly DNA repair genes, that significantly influence disease onset and progression. These findings point to somatic CAG repeat expansions in affected tissues as a key pathological mechanism. This emerging paradigm suggests that disease progression is not solely protein-driven but also shaped at the DNA level, a mechanism that is shared among other repeat expansion disorders. Therapeutically, this discovery opens new opportunities: interventions to limit somatic repeat expansion might be effective across multiple repeat expansion diseases and, when combined with disease-specific approaches, such as huntingtin lowering in Huntington disease, might offer more effective and longer-lasting clinical benefits than either strategy in isolation. This approach also poses challenges, determining the optimal point for therapeutic intervention and how best to establish phenotypic improvement in clinical trials when the target tissue is the brain. Genome-wide association studies have identified genetic modifiers, mostly DNA repair genes, that significantly influence the onset and progression of Huntington disease, pointing to somatic CAG repeat expansions as a key pathological driver. Here, Tabrizi and colleagues review the evidence for this paradigm and discuss the potential for therapeutic interventions.","PeriodicalId":19085,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Neurology","volume":"22 1","pages":"5-21"},"PeriodicalIF":33.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145509072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
