Nature:阿尔茨海默氏症病因新解读

2013-05-06 何嫱 互联网

由美国麻省大学医学院、波恩大学和德国先进欧洲学习与研究中心的研究人员组成的一个国际研究小组,在新研究中证实一个众所周知的免疫炎症过程在阿尔茨海默氏症的病理学中发挥了重要的作用。这一过程导致生成了成熟的促炎性细胞因子白细胞介素1β(IL-1B),与机体抵御感染相关,因此被确立为类风湿性关节炎的一个临床靶点。这一发表在《自然》(Nature)杂志上的研究发现指出了破坏IL-1B生成的药物,例如类风湿性

由美国麻省大学医学院、波恩大学和德国先进欧洲学习与研究中心的研究人员组成的一个国际研究小组,在新研究中证实一个众所周知的免疫炎症过程在阿尔茨海默氏症的病理学中发挥了重要的作用。这一过程导致生成了成熟的促炎性细胞因子白细胞介素1β(IL-1B),与机体抵御感染相关,因此被确立为类风湿性关节炎的一个临床靶点。这一发表在《自然》(Nature)杂志上的研究发现指出了破坏IL-1B生成的药物,例如类风湿性关节炎药物,或许有利于阿尔茨海默氏症患者。

医学和微生物学及生理系统学教授、感染性疾病和免疫学主任Douglas T. Golenbock 博士说:“这一研究发现为阿尔茨海默氏症患者提供了一个重要的新临床靶点。多年来,我们已经知道与阿尔茨海默氏症相关的斑块周围有小神经胶质细胞。但我们并不知道炎症在这一疾病的进程中所起的作用。发现这一关联,我们获得了可能识别和攻击这一可怕疾病的新途径。”

阿尔茨海默氏症是最常见的一种痴呆形式,这一神经退行性疾病可造成记忆丧失、认知功能受损,并最终导致死亡。据预测,到2050年,每85人中就有1人罹患这一疾病。当前还没有有效的治疗。

阿尔茨海默氏症的一个关键生理学成分,就是存在于细胞外的斑块,其主要由β淀粉样肽构成,积聚在大脑之中。这些斑块被认为是有毒的,是邻近神经元死亡和皮质损失的主要原因。在短期记忆中发挥重要作用的海马是大脑受到阿尔茨海默氏症损害的第一个区域。

在以往的研究中,Golenbock和同事们确定:当附近的小神经胶质细胞接触到β-淀粉样蛋白纤维时,细胞培养物中的神经元会死亡。通常情况下,小神经胶质细胞负责消除中枢神经细胞中的斑块、受损神经元和传染源。β淀粉样肽会通过激活小神经胶质细胞生成包括细胞因子在内的神经毒化合物,导致中枢神经系统炎症。然而在阿尔茨海默氏症患者中,这一过程是如何被激活的,研究人员并不清楚。

Golenbock实验室早前的研究表明,β淀粉样肽可以通过激活小神经胶质细胞中的一个多蛋白受体复合物——NLRP3炎性体(inflammasome),来诱导IL-1B生成。NLRP3炎性体能够识别β淀粉样肽,其与痛风和石棉肺等几种慢性炎症性疾病有关联。通过检测阿尔茨海默氏症组织样本,科学家们发现“每个细胞样本都有炎性体激活迹象,强烈表明,它们正在生成IL-1B,” Golenbock说。

“结合我们早前的研究,其强烈地表明NLRP3和caspase-1在生成IL-1B中发挥作用,促进了阿尔茨海默氏症疾病进程,” Golenbock说。

为了评估NLRP3和caspase-1对于生物体阿尔茨海默氏症的确切影响,研究人员记录了小鼠模型的认知功能和记忆,这些小鼠表达与家族性阿尔茨海默氏症相关的基因,而存在NLRP3或caspase-1缺陷,研究人员还将它们与具有完整免疫系统的阿尔茨海默氏症小鼠进行了比较。当研究人员对NLRP3或caspase-1突变小鼠进行阿尔茨海默氏症记忆测试时,他们发现动物表现出更好的记忆,似乎免于记忆丧失。然而,正常水平表达NLRP3 和caspase-1的阿尔茨海默氏症小鼠则表现与阿尔茨海默氏症一致的症状。进一步的检测揭示,NLRP3 和caspase-1缺陷小鼠显示β-淀粉样斑块减少,小神经胶质细胞清除β淀粉样蛋白的能力提高。

研究还揭示,相比显示症状的小鼠,在NLRP3或caspase-1缺陷小鼠中激活IL-1水平降低。由于NLRP3和caspase-1缺乏,这些小鼠生成了较少的IL-1。这些缺陷似乎促进了一种小神经胶质细胞表型的形成,能够更好地代谢和消除中枢神经系统中的阿尔茨海默氏症斑块。

Golenbock 说:“这些结果表明,敲除NLRP3、caspase-1或成熟IL-1B有可能代表了一种新型的阿尔茨海默氏症治疗干预。有可能阻断NLRP3或IL-1B的药物,包括一些已经进入临床实验或上市的药物,能够提供一些益处。”

“关键的地方在于,药物能够破坏多少NLRP3或IL-1B的生成。我相信仅破坏90%都是不够的,或许必须要接近100%。”

NLRP3 is activated in Alzheimer's disease and contributes to pathology in APP/PS1 mice.
Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is the world's most common dementing illness. Deposition of amyloid-β peptide drives cerebral neuroinflammation by activating microglia. Indeed, amyloid-β activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in microglia is fundamental for interleukin-1β maturation and subsequent inflammatory events. However, it remains unknown whether NLRP3 activation contributes to Alzheimer's disease in vivo. Here we demonstrate strongly enhanced active caspase-1 expression in human mild cognitive impairment and brains with Alzheimer's disease, suggesting a role for the inflammasome in this neurodegenerative disease. Nlrp3(-/-) or Casp1(-/-) mice carrying mutations associated with familial Alzheimer's disease were largely protected from loss of spatial memory and other sequelae associated with Alzheimer's disease, and demonstrated reduced brain caspase-1 and interleukin-1β activation as well as enhanced amyloid-β clearance. Furthermore, NLRP3 inflammasome deficiency skewed microglial cells to an M2 phenotype and resulted in the decreased deposition of amyloid-β in the APP/PS1 model of Alzheimer's disease. These results show an important role for the NLRP3/caspase-1 axis in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease, and suggest that NLRP3 inflammasome inhibition represents a new therapeutic intervention for the disease.

    记得每天刷牙能够保持你的记忆力在未来几年里依然敏捷。一项新研究指出,口腔健康习惯可能会影响患痴呆症的概率。另外,口腔疾病引发的炎症通常与心脏病和糖尿病等疾病有关联。 年至2010年间,研究人员跟踪调查了美国加利福尼亚州近5500名退休居民,结果发现,那些刷牙次数少于每天一次的参与者比那些每天刷三次牙的人患痴呆症的几率可能高了近56%,并且这在女性中更为明显

Nature:阿尔茨海默氏症有望接种疫苗预防

日本研究人员一项最新研究成果显示,向患有阿尔茨海默氏症的实验鼠血管中注射一种基因物质,成功使得负责分解β淀粉样蛋白的基因在脑内发挥作用,实验鼠的病症得到明显改善。这使得将来有可能以接种疫苗的形式来预防这种常见疾病。 一种名为脑啡肽酶的分解酶发挥着防止β淀粉样蛋白蓄积的功能,β淀粉样蛋白的蓄积被认为是导致阿尔茨海默氏症的原因。但随着年龄增长,一些人负责生成脑啡肽酶的基因功能出现衰退,从而导致发病。

Mol Psychiatry:阿尔茨海默氏症药物Dimebon或仍具有治疗潜力

近日,西奈半岛学院医学院研究人员领导的国际小组已经发现,一种已先前在阿尔茨海默氏病的临床试验中取得相互矛盾的结果药物能有效地停止阿尔茨海默氏症疾病小鼠模型的疾病早期阶段的记忆恶化和大脑病理进展。研究结果于7月31日发表在在Molecular Psychiatry杂志上,该研究证实了这种化合物仍具有治疗潜力,并可能促使开展处于疾病早期阶段患者的相关临床试验。 Latrepirdine又称为Di

Neuron:线粒体长度异常会促进神经变性疾病发展

哈佛医学院研究人员发现,产生能量的细胞器即线粒体的长度异常会促进神经变性疾病如阿尔茨海默氏症的发生于发展。 近来,越来越多的研究关注于阿尔茨海默氏症和tau蛋白有关的疾病中的线粒体作用,但线美国马萨诸塞州总医院的博士后研究员Brian DuBoff研究表示:粒体与上述疾病之间的因果关系仍是未知的。更深入地了解线粒体的功能和阿尔茨海默氏症之间的关系可能会引导我们在未来开发更有针对性的治疗手段。相关

Neurotez公司血清瘦素(Leptin)获美国专利

Neurotez公司宣布,血清瘦素(Leptin)获美国专利,专利涵盖Leptin用于阿尔茨海默氏症(AD)的治疗及通过调节大脑中淀粉样多肽的积累来改善认知功能的恢复。 专利签发的同时,Neurotez公司也完成了重组Leptin的GMP生产及用于研究性新药申请(IND)支持性研究的准备。 临床前体内外实验数据、介入性研究、人类流行病学研究表明,Leptin可能是治疗阿尔茨海默氏症有前途的药物

J Neurosci:抑制大脑BACE1表达有望治疗阿尔茨海默氏症

目前为止,有关阿尔茨海默氏症的根本原因的大量研究证据指向了β-淀粉样蛋白的积累,β-淀粉样蛋白是一种对神经细胞有毒性的蛋白质。β-淀粉样蛋白的形成是由几种酶共同作用来完成的,其中就包括BACE1。大多数阿尔茨海默氏病患者BACE1的水平是升高的,这反过来又导致更多的脑损伤β-淀粉样蛋白的聚集。 相关研究论文发表在8月15日的Journal of Neuroscience杂志上,桑福德-伯纳姆医学
