Inflammatory response mediated by M1 microglia is a crucial factor leading to the exacerbation of brain injury after ischemic stroke (IS). Under the stimulation of IS, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) switch to the synthetic phenotype characterized by exosome secretion. Previous studies have shown that exosomes play an important role in the regulation of microglial polarization. We reported that exosomes derived from primary human brain VSMCs under hypoxia (HExos), but not those under normoxia (Exos), significantly promoted primary human microglia (HM1900) shift to M1 phenotype. Proteomic analysis showed that the Src protein enriched in HExos was a potential pro-inflammatory mediator. In vitro experiments showed that the expression of Src and M1 markers were upregulated in HM1900 co-incubated with HExos. However, the Src inhibitor dasatinib (DAS) significantly promoted the transformation of HM1900 phenotype from M1 to M2. In vivo experiments of pMCAO mice also revealed that DAS could effectively inhibit the activation of M1 microglia/macrophages, protect neurons from apoptosis, and improve neuronal function. These data suggested that hypoxic-VSMCs-derived exosomes were involved in post-IS inflammation by promoting M1 microglial polarization through Src transmission. Targeting inhibition of Src potentially acts as an effective strategy for treating brain injury after IS.

由 M1 小胶质细胞介导的炎症反应是导致缺血性中风(IS)后脑损伤加重的关键因素。在缺血性脑卒中的刺激下,血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)转为以分泌外泌体为特征的合成表型。以前的研究表明,外泌体在调节小胶质细胞极化方面发挥着重要作用。我们报告说,在缺氧(HExos)条件下,从原代人脑 VSMCs 提取的外泌体可显著促进原代人小胶质细胞(HM1900)向 M1 表型转变,而在正常缺氧(Exos)条件下则不然。蛋白质组分析表明,HExos 中富集的 Src 蛋白是一种潜在的促炎介质。体外实验表明,HM1900 与 HExos 共同孵育时,Src 和 M1 标志物的表达上调。然而,Src抑制剂达沙替尼(DAS)能显著促进HM1900表型从M1向M2转变。pMCAO小鼠的体内实验也显示,DAS能有效抑制M1小胶质细胞/巨噬细胞的活化,保护神经元免于凋亡,并改善神经元功能。这些数据表明,缺氧-VSMCs衍生的外泌体通过Src传递促进M1小胶质细胞极化,从而参与了IS后炎症。靶向抑制Src可能是治疗IS后脑损伤的有效策略。

The absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome contributes to ischemic brain injury by inducing cell pyroptosis and inflammatory responses. Our research group has previously demonstrated that ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels) openers can modulate neuronal synaptic plasticity post-ischemic stroke for neuroprotection. However, the specific mechanisms of KATP channels in the inflammatory response following ischemic stroke remain unclear. Here, we assessed cellular damage by observing changes in BV-2 morphology and viability. 2,3,5-Triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, mNSS scoring, Nissl staining, and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining were used to evaluate behavioral deficits, brain injury severity, and neuronal damage in mice subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), Western blotting, immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to measure cell pyroptosis and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) activation in vivo and in vitro. We observed that AIM2 protein expression was upregulated and localized within the cytoplasm of BV-2 cells. Notably, low-dose Nicorandil treatment reduced inflammatory cytokine secretion and pyroptosis-related protein expression, including AIM2, cleaved cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 (cleaved caspase-1), and Gasdermin D N-terminal (GSDMD-NT). Further investigations revealed that the KATP channel inhibitor 5-HD upregulated p-NF-κB p65, NF-κB p65, and p-IκBα expression, reversing Nicorandil's neuroprotective effect in vivo. In summary, our results suggest that Nicorandil may serve as a potential therapeutic option for ischemic stroke. Targeting AIM2 and NF-κB represents effective strategies for inhibiting neuroinflammation.

黑色素瘤缺失 2(AIM2)炎性酶体通过诱导细胞凋亡和炎症反应造成缺血性脑损伤。我们的研究小组曾证实,ATP 敏感性钾通道(KATP 通道)开放因子可调节缺血性脑卒中后神经元突触的可塑性,从而起到神经保护作用。然而,KATP 通道在缺血性中风后炎症反应中的具体机制仍不清楚。在此,我们通过观察 BV-2 形态和活力的变化来评估细胞损伤。我们使用 TTC 染色、mNSS 评分、Nissl 染色和 TUNEL 染色来评估大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)小鼠的行为障碍、脑损伤严重程度和神经元损伤。实时荧光定量 PCR(RT-qPCR)评估了氧-葡萄糖剥夺/再灌注(OGD/R)后 AIM2 的表达,而 Western 印迹、免疫荧光和酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)则测量了急性缺血期热蛋白相关蛋白的表达、核因子卡巴 B/κBα抑制因子(NF-κB/IκBα)信号的激活和炎性细胞因子的分泌。我们观察到,OGD/R后,NF-κB核转位增加,NF-κB/IκBα炎症通路被激活。此外,AIM2 蛋白表达上调并定位在 BV-2 细胞的胞浆内。值得注意的是,低剂量尼可地尔治疗可降低热蛋白沉积相关蛋白的表达,包括AIM2、天门冬氨酸胱氨酶特异性蛋白酶裂解产物-1(caspase-1裂解产物)、Gasdermin D Full-length(GSDMD-FL)和Gasdermin D N-terminal(GSDMD-NT),从而降低BV-2细胞的孔形成破裂率。进一步研究发现,KATP 通道抑制剂 5-HD 可上调 p-NF-κB p65、NF-κB p65 和 p-IκBα 的表达,促进小胶质细胞活化、脓毒血症和炎症因子分泌,从而削弱尼可地尔在体内的神经保护作用。总之,我们的研究结果表明,开放 KATP 通道可抑制 AIM2 炎症体诱导的小胶质细胞脓毒症和 NF-κB/IκBα 信号激活,从而改善缺血后的神经功能。

Cinnamic alcohol (CA) is a phenylpropanoid found in the essential oil of the bark of the genus Cinnamomum spp. Schaeff. (Lauraceae Juss.), known as cinnamon. To evaluate the neuroprotective effect of CA and its possible mechanism of action on mice submitted to the pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) induced epileptic seizures model. Behavioral, neurochemical, histomorphometric and immunohistochemistry analysis were carried out. The administration of CA (50–200 mg/kg, i.p., 30 min prior to PTZ and 0.7–25 mg/kg, i.p., 60 min prior to PTZ) increased the latency to seizure onset and the latency to death. The effects observed with CA treatment at 60 min were partially reversed by pretreatment with flumazenil. Furthermore, neurochemical assays indicated that CA reduced the concentration of malondialdehyde and nitrite, while increasing the concentration of reduced glutathione. Finally, histomorphometric and immunohistochemistry analysis revealed a reduction in inflammation and an increase in neuronal preservation in the hippocampi of CA pre-treated mice. Taken together, the results suggest that CA seems to modulate the GABAA receptor, decrease oxidative stress, mitigate neuroinflammation, and reduce cell death processes.

Psychological stress induces neuroinflammatory responses, which are associated with the pathogenesis of various psychiatric disorders, such as posttraumatic stress disorder and anxiety. Osthole—a natural coumarin isolated from the seeds of the Chinese herb Cnidium monnieri—exerts anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects on the central nervous system. However, the therapeutic benefits of osthole against psychiatric disorders remain largely unknown. We previously demonstrated that mice subjected to repeated social defeat stress (RSDS) in the presence of aggressor mice exhibited symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, such as social avoidance and anxiety-like behaviors. In this study, we investigated the therapeutic effects of osthole and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Osthole exerted therapeutic effects on cognitive behaviors, mitigating anxiety-like behaviors and social avoidance in a mouse model of RSDS. The anti-inflammatory response induced by the oral administration of osthole was strengthened through the upregulation of heme oxygenase-1 expression. The expression of PPARα was inhibited in mice subjected to RSDS. Nonetheless, osthole treatment reversed the inhibition of PPARα expression. We identified a positive correlation between heme oxygenase-1 expression and PPARα expression in osthole-treated mice. In conclusion, osthole has potential as a Chinese herbal medicine for anxiety disorders. When designing novel drugs for psychiatric disorders, researchers should consider targeting the activation of PPARα.

心理压力会诱发神经炎症反应,这与创伤后应激障碍和焦虑症等各种精神疾病的发病机制有关。从中草药蛇床子种子中分离出来的天然香豆素--蛇床子素对中枢神经系统具有抗炎和抗氧化作用。然而,osthole 对精神疾病的治疗效果在很大程度上仍不为人所知。我们曾证实,小鼠在攻击性小鼠在场的情况下受到重复社交失败应激(RSDS),会表现出创伤后应激障碍的症状,如社交回避和焦虑样行为。在这项研究中,我们探讨了蛇床子素的治疗作用及其分子机制。奥斯特孔对小鼠的认知行为有治疗作用,能减轻小鼠的焦虑样行为和社交回避。通过上调血红素加氧酶-1的表达,加强了口服奥斯特孔引起的抗炎反应。PPARα的表达在RSDS小鼠中受到抑制。然而,奥斯特孔治疗逆转了对 PPARα 表达的抑制。我们发现,在奥斯特孔处理的小鼠中,血红素加氧酶-1的表达与PPARα的表达呈正相关。总之,奥司孔有望成为治疗焦虑症的中药。在设计治疗精神疾病的新型药物时,研究人员应考虑以激活 PPARα 为目标。

Current anti-seizure medications (ASDs) primarily target ion channels or neurotransmissions; however, their practicability is limited by unwanted side-effects and pharmacoresistance. Cumulative evidence has proposed pro-inflammatory caspase-1 as a potential target for developing ASDs. In this study, we showed that the small-molecular caspase-1 inhibitor CZL80 can prevent seizures in various models including the maximal electroshock (MES), the pentylenetetrazol (PTZ), and the amygdaloid kindled models. Specifically, we discovered that CZL80 prevented death, reduced the duration of generalized seizures, and increased the threshold of generalized seizures in a dose-dependent manner in the MES model. In the PTZ model, CZL80 decreased the seizure stages, prolonged the latency to stage 4 seizures, and decreased the death rate. And in amygdaloid kindled rats, CZL80 inhibited the seizure stages, shortened the durations of both generalized seizures and after-discharges. And the anti-seizure efficacy of CZL80 was diminished in caspase-1 knockout mice. In vitro electrophysiology recordings revealed that CZL80 was able to decreased the excitability of glutamatergic pyramidal neurons, as denoted by reducing the spontaneous neuronal firings and increasing the rheobase injected currents to elicit action potentials. Furthermore, CZL80 was able to increase the amplitudes of inhibitory post-synaptic currents (IPSC), while the excitatory post-synaptic currents (EPSC) were not influenced. Lastly, daily administration of CZL80 for 3 weeks did not influence the normal locomotor functions in mice. In sum, our results highlighted CZL80 as a potential anti-seizure therapy with therapeutic significance.

目前的抗癫痫药物(ASDs)主要以离子通道或神经递质为靶点;然而,它们的实用性受到了不必要的副作用和耐药性的限制。累积的证据表明,促炎性 caspase-1 是开发 ASDs 的潜在靶点。在这项研究中,我们发现小分子caspase-1抑制剂CZL80可以在各种模型中预防癫痫发作,包括最大电休克(MES)、戊四唑(PTZ)和杏仁核点燃模型。具体来说,我们发现在最大电休克模型中,CZL80能以剂量依赖的方式防止死亡、缩短全身性癫痫发作的持续时间并提高全身性癫痫发作的阈值。在PTZ模型中,CZL80降低了癫痫发作的阶段,延长了第四阶段癫痫发作的潜伏期,并降低了死亡率。在杏仁核点燃大鼠中,CZL80能抑制发作阶段,缩短全身发作和放电后的持续时间。CZL80对caspase-1基因敲除小鼠的抗癫痫作用减弱。体外电生理学记录显示,CZL80能够降低谷氨酸能锥体神经元的兴奋性,表现为减少神经元自发搏动和增加流变基注入电流以诱发动作电位。此外,CZL80 还能增加抑制性突触后电流(IPSC)的振幅,而兴奋性突触后电流(EPSC)则不受影响。最后,连续3周每天服用CZL80不会影响小鼠的正常运动功能。总之,我们的研究结果凸显了CZL80作为一种潜在抗癫痫疗法的治疗意义。

Depression is a complex mood disorder with multifactorial etiology and is also the most frequent non-motor symptom of Parkinson's disease. Emerging research suggests a potential link between mitochondrial dysfunction and the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder. By synthesizing current knowledge and research findings, this review sheds light on the intricate relationship between Parkin, a protein classically associated with Parkinson's disease, and mitochondrial quality control mechanisms (e.g., mitophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and mitochondrial dynamic), specifically focusing on their relevance in the context of depression. Additionally, the present review discusses therapeutic strategies targeting Parkin-medicated mitophagy and calls for further research in this field. These findings suggest promise for the development of novel depression treatments through modulating Parkin-mediated mitophagy.

It has been demonstrated that an enriched environment (EE) treatment can alter neuroplasticity in neurodegenerative diseases. However, the role of EE treatment in ischemic stroke remains unclear. Previous findings have revealed that EE treatment can promote cerebral activin-receptor-like-kinase-5 (ALK5) expression after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. ALK5 has been identified as a potential mediator of neuroplasticity through its modulation of Smad2/3 and Gadd45β. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether EE treatment could promote neurofunctional recovery by regulating the ALK5/Smad2/3/Gadd45β pathway. The study utilized the rat model of middle cerebral artery occlusion/reperfusion (MCAO/R). The ALK5/Smad2/3/Gadd45β signaling pathway changes were evaluated using western blotting (WB). Brain injury was assessed by infarct volume and neurobehavioral scores. The effect of EE treatment on neurogenesis was evaluated using Doublecortin (DCX) and Nestin, axonal plasticity with biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) nerve tracing, and dendritic plasticity was assessed using Golgi-Cox staining. EE treatment has been demonstrated to modulate the Smad2/3/Gadd45β pathway by regulating the expression of ALK5. The protective effects of EE treatment on brain infarct volume, neurological function, newborn neurons, dendritic and axonal plasticity following cerebral I/R injury were counteracted by ALK5 silencing. EE treatment can enhance neurofunctional recovery after cerebral I/R injury, which is achieved by regulating the ALK5/Smad2/3/Gadd45β signaling pathway to promote neuroplasticity.

研究表明,富集环境(EE)治疗可改变神经退行性疾病的神经可塑性。然而,EE 治疗在缺血性中风中的作用仍不清楚。之前的研究发现,EE 治疗可促进脑缺血/再灌注(I/R)损伤后脑活化素受体样激酶-5(ALK5)的表达。ALK5 通过调节 Smad2/3 和 Gadd45β 被认为是神经可塑性的潜在介质。因此,本研究旨在探讨 EE 治疗是否能通过调节 ALK5/Smad2/3/Gadd45β 通路促进神经功能恢复。研究利用大鼠大脑中动脉闭塞/再灌注(MCAO/R)模型。研究采用Western印迹(WB)技术评估了ALK5/Smad2/3/Gadd45β信号通路的变化。脑损伤通过梗死体积和神经行为评分进行评估。使用双皮质素(DCX)和Nestin评估EE治疗对神经发生的影响,使用生物素化葡聚糖胺(BDA)神经追踪评估轴突可塑性,使用高尔基-考克斯染色评估树突可塑性。研究表明,EE治疗可通过调节ALK5的表达来调节Smad2/3/Gadd45β通路。EE治疗对脑梗塞体积、神经功能、新生神经元、脑I/R损伤后树突和轴突可塑性的保护作用被ALK5沉默所抵消。EE治疗可增强脑I/R损伤后的神经功能恢复,而这是通过调节ALK5/Smad2/3/Gadd45β信号通路促进神经可塑性实现的。

Dementia is a growing problem around the globe as the world's population continues to age. Multiple studies have identified potentially modifiable risk factors for the development of dementia suggesting that addressing some or all of these risk factors might have a significant impact on the aging population worldwide. However, this is not always as straightforward as it seems since many of these risk factors are currently treated with drugs specific to the risk factor. Moreover, since people can have multiple risk factors, addressing each of them individually could be highly problematic as it would likely lead to negative outcomes associated with polypharmacy and, in the long term, could do significant harm. A potential alternative is to identify compounds that have shown efficacy against a number of these different risk factors. As discussed in this review, there is strong evidence that the flavonol fisetin is one such compound. In animal studies it has shown efficacy against many of the risk factors that have been associated with an increased risk of developing dementia and also exhibits direct neuroprotective effects. Thus, further human research on fisetin in the context of dementia risk factors is clearly warranted.

随着世界人口的不断老龄化,痴呆症在全球范围内成为一个日益严重的问题。多项研究发现了可能导致痴呆症发生的可改变的风险因素,这表明解决部分或全部这些风险因素可能会对全球人口老龄化问题产生重大影响。然而,这并不总是像看起来那么简单,因为许多风险因素目前都是通过针对风险因素的特定药物来治疗的。此外,由于人们可能存在多种风险因素,因此单独解决每一种风险因素可能会产生很大问题,因为这很可能会导致与多药治疗相关的负面结果,而且从长远来看,可能会造成重大伤害。一种潜在的替代方法是找出对多种不同风险因素具有疗效的化合物。正如本综述中所讨论的,有确凿证据表明黄酮醇菲赛汀就是这样一种化合物。在动物实验中,它对许多与痴呆症发病风险增加有关的风险因素都有疗效,而且还具有直接的神经保护作用。因此,显然有必要针对痴呆症风险因素对菲赛汀进行进一步的人体研究。

Anxiety is a commonly prevailing psychological disorder that requires effective treatment, wherein phytopharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals could offer a desirable therapeutic profile. Hybanthus enneaspermus (L.) F. Muell. is a powerful medicinal herb, reportedly effective against several ailments, including psychological disorders. The current research envisaged evaluating the anxiolytic potential of the ethanolic extract of Hybanthus enneaspermus (EEHE) and its toluene insoluble biofraction (ITHE) employing experimental and computational approaches. Elevated Plus Maze, Light and Dark Transition, Mirror Chamber, Hole board and Open field tests were used as screening models to assess the antianxiety potential of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg body weight of EEHE and ITHE in rats subjected to social isolation, using Diazepam as standard. The brains of rats exhibiting significant anxiolytic activity were dissected for histopathological and biochemical studies. Antioxidant enzymes like catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase; and neurotransmitters viz. monoamines (serotonin, noradrenaline, dopamine), Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and glutamate were quantified in the different regions of rats’ brain (cortex, hippocampus, pons, medulla oblongata, cerebellum). Chromatographic techniques were used to isolate phytoconstituents from the fraction exhibiting significant activity that were characterized by spectroscopic methods and subjected to in silico molecular docking. ITHE at 400 mg/kg body weight significantly mitigated anxiety in all the screening models (p < 0.05), reduced the inflammatory vacuoles and necrosis (p < 0.05) and potentiated the antioxidant enzymes (p < 0.05). It enhanced the monoamines and GABA levels while attenuating glutamate levels (p < 0.01) in the brain. Three significant flavonoids viz. Quercitrin, Rutin and Hesperidin were isolated from ITHE. In silico docking studies of these flavonoids revealed that the compounds exhibited substantial binding to the GABAA receptor. ITHE displayed a promising pharmacological profile in combating anxiety and modulating oxidative stress, attributing its therapeutic virtues to the flavonoids present.

焦虑症是一种常见的心理疾病,需要有效的治疗,而植物药和营养保健品可以提供理想的治疗效果。据报道,Hybanthus enneaspermus (L.) F. Muell.是一种强效药草,对包括心理障碍在内的多种疾病有效。目前的研究计划采用实验和计算方法,评估芒柄木乙醇提取物(EEHE)及其甲苯不溶生物馏分(ITHE)的抗焦虑潜力。以地西泮为标准,使用高架加迷宫、明暗转换、镜室、洞板和开放场地试验作为筛选模型,评估了 100、200 和 400 mg/Kg 体重的 EEHE 和 ITHE 对受到社会隔离的大鼠的抗焦虑潜力。对表现出明显抗焦虑活性的大鼠大脑进行解剖,以进行组织病理学和生化研究。对大鼠大脑不同区域(皮层、海马、脑桥、延髓、小脑)的抗氧化酶(如过氧化氢酶、超氧化物歧化酶、谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶、谷胱甘肽还原酶)和神经递质(如单胺(5-羟色胺、去甲肾上腺素、多巴胺)、γ-氨基丁酸(GABA)和谷氨酸)进行了定量分析。使用色谱技术从具有显著活性的部分中分离出植物成分,并通过光谱方法对其进行表征和进行硅学分子对接。在所有筛选模型中,400 毫克/千克体重的 ITHE 都能显著缓解焦虑(p < 0.05),减少炎症空泡和坏死(p < 0.05),并增强抗氧化酶(p < 0.05)。它提高了大脑中的单胺类和 GABA 水平,同时降低了谷氨酸水平(p < 0.01)。三种重要的类黄酮,即从 ITHE 中分离出槲皮素、芦丁和橙皮甙。对这些类黄酮进行的硅对接研究表明,这些化合物与 GABAA 受体有很强的结合力。ITHE 在抗焦虑和调节氧化应激方面显示出良好的药理特性,其治疗功效归功于其中的类黄酮。

The prevalence of the world's second leading neurodegenerative disorder Parkinson's disease (PD) is well known while its pathogenesis is still a topical issue to explore. Clinical and experimental reports suggest the prevalence of disturbed gut microflora in PD subjects, with an abundance of especially Gram-negative bacteria. The endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS) released from the outer cell layer of these bacteria interacts with the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) present on the macrophages and it stimulates the downstream inflammatory cascade in both the gut and brain. Recent research also suggests a positive correlation between LPS, alpha-synuclein, and TLR4 levels, which indicates the contribution of a parallel LPS-alpha-synuclein-TLR4 axis in stimulating inflammation and neurodegeneration in the gut and brain, establishing a body-first type of PD. However, owing to the novelty of this paradigm, further investigation is mandatory. Modulating LPS biosynthesis and LPS-TLR4 interaction can ameliorate gut dysbiosis and PD. Several synthetic LpxC (UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylase; LPS-synthesizing enzyme) inhibitors and TLR4 antagonists are reported to show beneficial effects including neuroprotection in PD models, however, are not devoid of side effects. Plant-derived compounds have been long documented for their benefits as nutraceuticals and thus to search for effective, safer, and multitarget therapeutics, the present study focused on summarizing the evidence reporting the potential of phyto-compounds as LpxC inhibitors and TLR4 antagonists. Studies demonstrating the dual potential of phyto-compounds as the modulators of LpxC and TLR4 have not yet been reported. Also, very few preliminary studies have reported LpxC inhibition by phyto-compounds. Nevertheless, remarkable neuroprotection along with TLR4 antagonism has been shown by curcumin and juglanin in PD models. The present review thus provides a wide look at the research progressed to date in discovering phyto-compounds that can serve as LpxC inhibitors and TLR4 antagonists. The study further recommends the need for expanding the search for potential candidates that can render dual protection by inhibiting both the biosynthesis and TLR4 interaction of LPS. Such multitarget therapeutic intervention is believed to bring fruitful yields in countering gut dysbiosis, neuroinflammation, and dopaminergic neuron damage in PD patients through a single treatment paradigm.

世界第二大神经退行性疾病帕金森病(PD)的发病率众所周知,但其发病机制仍是一个有待探索的热点问题。临床和实验报告表明,帕金森病患者的肠道微生物菌群普遍紊乱,尤其是革兰氏阴性菌大量繁殖。这些细菌细胞外层释放的内毒素脂多糖(LPS)与巨噬细胞上的收费样受体 4(TLR4)相互作用,刺激肠道和大脑的下游炎症级联反应。最近的研究还表明,LPS、α-突触核蛋白和 TLR4 水平之间存在正相关,这表明 LPS-α- 突触核蛋白-TLR4 轴在刺激肠道和大脑的炎症和神经变性方面发挥了平行作用,从而确立了一种身体优先型 PD。然而,由于这一范例的新颖性,必须进行进一步的研究。调节 LPS 的生物合成和 LPS-TLR4 相互作用可改善肠道菌群失调和脑退化症。据报道,几种合成的 LpxC(UDP-3-O-(R-3-hydroxymyristoyl)-N-乙酰葡糖胺脱乙酰酶;LPS 合成酶)抑制剂和 TLR4 拮抗剂显示出有益的作用,包括在帕金森病模型中的神经保护作用,但它们并非没有副作用。植物源化合物作为营养保健品的益处早有记载,因此为了寻找有效、更安全的多靶点疗法,本研究重点总结了报道植物源化合物作为 LpxC 抑制剂和 TLR4 拮抗剂的潜力的证据。目前尚未有研究表明植物化合物具有调节 LpxC 和 TLR4 的双重潜力。此外,只有极少数初步研究报告了植物化合物对 LpxC 的抑制作用。然而,姜黄素和胡柚素在帕金森病模型中显示出了明显的神经保护作用和 TLR4 拮抗作用。因此,本综述广泛介绍了迄今为止在发现可作为 LpxC 抑制剂和 TLR4 拮抗剂的植物化合物方面所取得的研究进展。研究进一步建议,有必要通过抑制 LPS 的生物合成和 TLR4 相互作用,扩大寻找可提供双重保护的潜在候选药物。相信这种多靶点治疗干预能带来丰硕成果,通过单一治疗范式对抗帕金森病患者的肠道菌群失调、神经炎症和多巴胺能神经元损伤。
