摘要

在过去三十年中,生化病理学和人类遗传学的进展揭示了生物医学中最神秘的主题之一——神经退行性疾病。阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病和亨廷顿病等神经系统的名字命名疾病,长期以来因缺乏机制理解而被忽视,但我们对其分子基础的理解已取得显著进展。这些疾病及相关疾病的一个核心主题是某些正常可溶性神经元蛋白质可以错误折叠并聚集成寡聚物和淀粉样纤维,这些结构可能导致深远的细胞毒性。也许最重要的例子,既体现在其社会影响上,也体现在知识向临床转化的进展上,就是阿尔茨海默病(AD)。在这里,我们将回顾该疾病的经典蛋白损伤,这些损伤为病因和发病机制提供了路线图。我们还将讨论阐明家族性阿尔茨海默病的基因型与表型关系的重要性,强调了两种本应可溶的蛋白质——淀粉样β蛋白和tau蛋白的错误折叠和改变的蛋白稳态,这暗示了基于机制的治疗靶点,这些靶点已导致临床试验的开展。

英文摘要

Over the last three decades, advances in biochemical pathology and human genetics have illuminated one of the most enigmatic subjects in biomedicine--neurodegeneration. Eponymic diseases of the nervous system such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's diseases that were long characterized by mechanistic ignorance have yielded striking progress in our understanding of their molecular underpinnings. A central theme in these and related disorders is the concept that certain normally soluble neuronal proteins can misfold and aggregate into oligomers and amyloid fibrils which can confer profound cytotoxicity. Perhaps the foremost example, both in terms of its societal impact and how far knowledge has moved toward the clinic, is that of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we will review the classical protein lesions of the disorder that have provided a road map to etiology and pathogenesis. We will discuss how elucidating the genotype-to-phenotype relationships of familial forms of Alzheimer's disease has highlighted the importance of the misfolding and altered proteostasis of two otherwise soluble proteins, amyloid β-protein and tau, suggesting mechanism-based therapeutic targets that have led to clinical trials.

核心洞察

研究背景和目的

在过去的三十年中,生化病理学和人类遗传学的进展使神经退行性疾病这一复杂领域得到了显著的发展。阿尔茨海默病(AD)、帕金森病和亨廷顿病等神经系统的特征性疾病在机制上的无知已逐渐被对其分子基础的深入理解所取代。本研究旨在回顾阿尔茨海默病的经典蛋白质损伤,并探讨其病因和发病机制,为相关疾病的治疗提供理论基础。

主要方法/材料/实验设计

本研究采用文献综述的方式,重点分析了阿尔茨海默病的基因型与表型之间的关系,以及相关蛋白质(如淀粉样β蛋白和tau蛋白)的错误折叠和蛋白质稳态改变对疾病发展的影响。

关键结果和发现

  • 阿尔茨海默病的主要病理特征包括淀粉样斑块和神经纤维缠结,这些都是由淀粉样β蛋白和tau蛋白的聚集所导致。
  • 通过对家族性阿尔茨海默病的基因研究,发现了与疾病相关的突变,这些突变增强了蛋白质的错误折叠倾向。
  • 研究强调了错误折叠蛋白质对细胞的细胞毒性影响,提示其在疾病发病机制中的核心作用。

主要结论/意义/创新性

本研究的主要结论是,淀粉样β蛋白和tau蛋白的错误折叠及其聚集是阿尔茨海默病发病的关键机制。通过深入理解这些机制,研究者能够识别新的机制基础的治疗靶点,从而推动临床试验的开展。这为阿尔茨海默病的治疗提供了新的方向,可能会带来突破性的进展。

研究局限性和未来方向

  • 研究的局限性在于主要依赖文献回顾,缺乏实验数据支持,可能导致某些结论的局限性。
  • 未来的研究方向应集中在以下几个方面:
    • 进一步探索其他神经退行性疾病中类似的蛋白质错误折叠机制。
    • 开展更多临床试验,以验证新识别的治疗靶点的有效性。
    • 加强对蛋白质稳态调控机制的研究,为开发新型治疗策略提供理论依据。
