Nature:专题 神经退行性疾病

2016-11-11 生物通:万纹 生物通

神经退行性疾病的发病率不断攀升,部分原因在于人类寿命增长,却仍然缺乏治疗此类疾病的方法。11月9日Nature杂志推出了“Neurodegenerative diseases”特刊,探索大脑衰老的机制,介绍了目前针对老年痴呆症、肌萎缩侧索硬化症和帕金森病的研究新进展。同时也揭示了朊蛋白病相关的研究也许扩展到更多常见神经退行性疾病,并为淀粉样蛋白的功能提供新的观点。

神经退行性疾病的发病率不断攀升,部分原因在于人类寿命增长,却仍然缺乏治疗此类疾病的方法。11月9日Nature杂志推出了“Neurodegenerative diseases”特刊,探索大脑衰老的机制,介绍了目前针对老年痴呆症、肌萎缩侧索硬化症和帕金森病的研究新进展。同时也揭示了朊蛋白病相关的研究也许扩展到更多常见神经退行性疾病,并为淀粉样蛋白的功能提供新的观点。


这一专题包括六篇文章,分别从上述几个方面进行了介绍,其中国际知名的神经学科学家蔡理慧发表综述,介绍了重启阿兹海默症患者神经环路的还原治疗之路。

而来自斯坦福大学医学院的Tony Wyss Coray则概述了衰老,神经退行性疾病和大脑复原的最新内容,Coray此前曾从血浆中分离鉴别出了18个信号蛋白,这些信号蛋白能用于作为鉴定阿兹海默症样品的生物标记蛋白。  

实验证明用这18个生物标志蛋白来预测阿兹海默症与诊断结果相比有高达90%的准确率。这些蛋白的生物学分析指向症状发生前阿兹海默症的造血功能、免疫反应、凋亡和神经元支持的系统失调。  

在“Decoding ALS: from genes to mechanism”这篇文章中,几位作者分析ALS病的分子机理和病理机制。ALS又称Lou Gehrig病,是一种急进性神经系统疾病,可影响负责随意肌控制的神经细胞。诊断后的平均寿命是两到五年。  

去年美国的两个研究小组揭示出了一种非常常见的基因突变造成肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)和额颞痴呆(FTD)相关神经细胞死亡及脑损伤的机制。他们报告称发现定位在人类9号染色体上的C9orf72基因发生改变,可使得一些RNA分子阻塞蛋白质运输通路,导致了脑细胞核外分子交通堵塞,影响了脑细胞的运行和存活。  

同时利用一种人类ALS和FTD果蝇模型,研究人员筛查了400个候选蛋白,寻找在活体生物中阻止脑细胞死亡的蛋白,由此获得了这一重要的突变。这项研究确定了RanGAP是重复序列的一个关键靶标,当恢复其功能时可以阻止脑细胞死亡。  

此外,还有综述介绍了朊蛋白相关的研究与神经退行性疾病的关联,苏黎世联邦理工大学的生物化学家发现,细胞内沉积的蛋白质,例如那些与帕金森氏症和阿尔茨海默氏病有关的蛋白质可能也是有益的。研究人员在这些细胞中发现了一种新形式的年龄相关蛋白沉淀,他们呼吁应该重新思考williamhill asia 对于衰老和痴呆的看法。  

他们认为将衰老过程视为“有缺陷的细胞功能和疾病的结果”,这种观念过于狭窄。这个观念忽略了一个事实,即所谓的朊蛋白样蛋白质积累,可能也会产生积极的效果,因此不应该被称为细胞故障。  

在最近几年里,有科学家推测,细胞中的聚集蛋白能起到积极的作用。聚集体与新发现的年龄相关聚集体有所不同,充当了酵母细胞的分子记忆。甚至在小鼠中,朊病毒样的蛋白聚集体和记忆之间存在一种正相关关系。美国科学家证明,神经细胞中具有这种聚集体的小鼠,表现出更稳定的长期记忆。

来自印第安纳大学等研究单位的研究人员最近进行了一项研究,他们发现了一些证据表明一种叫做NMNAT2的酶能够帮助对抗阿尔茨海默病等神经退行性疾病造成的不良影响。相关研究结果发表在国际学术期刊Plos Biology上。在美国有超过600万人受到退行性脑部疾病的困扰,据估算仅2010年就有50万人的死亡与阿尔茨海默病的发生有关。因此深入理解神经退行性疾病发病机制,找到对抗该类疾病的方法对老年人的健康有

美国糖尿病协会科学会议上称,新的研究表明,二甲双胍可能对神经退行性疾病,包括阿尔茨海默氏症和帕金森,具有长期保护作用。来自杜兰大学的Qian Shi博士说,目前有关二甲双胍和神经退行性疾病的数据是相互矛盾的,有研究表明,二甲双胍可降低认知能力下降的风险,但是也有数据显示,服用二甲双胍的患者认知能力更差,可能是因为缺乏维生素B12,还有研究表明,长期使用二甲双胍会轻度增加阿尔茨海默氏症的风险。目前的

AIM:神经退行性疾病并不会通过输血传播

在几种神经变性疾病中会发生大脑错误折叠的蛋白质的聚集。异常蛋白聚集在啮齿类动物和灵长类动物中可以通过脑内接种诱导。神经退行性疾病的可能输血传播具有重要的公共卫生意义。该研究的目的是探讨神经退行性疾病的可能输血传播。来自瑞典的研究人员进行了一项回顾性队列研究。数据来源于瑞典和丹麦的全国输血登记册。该研究的参与者为在1968-2012年间接受输血的1465845例患者。多变量Cox回归模型被用来估计任

Business Insider:帕金森病新型血液诊断方法准确率高达95%

  (图片摘自www.sciencealert.com) 澳大利亚科学家们最近开发出了一种能够检测帕金森症的新型血液检测方法。目前根据临床试验的数据,该检测方法的准确率高达95%。 该检测方法的工作机制是通过筛选血液中一种关键的生物标记物,从而帮助医生们在患者患病早期进行及时的诊断与治疗。 该项研究是由La Trobe大学的研究者们做出,他们已经得到包括美国Michael J.

Acta Neurol Scand:亨廷顿氏舞蹈病患者卒中发生的流行病学调查

目的:糖尿病和高胆固醇血症是卒中发生的危险因素,并且有报道称患有亨廷顿氏舞蹈病(HD)的患者存在糖和胆固醇代谢的改变。研究人员调查了这类人群卒中的发生率及危险因素。方法:在国家登记册中筛选出HD患者192名。从患者记录中获得卒中发生,无症状性脑梗以及危险因素的数据。结果:五个患者发生缺血性脑卒中,表明发病率为42/100000人每年。13名患者发生无症状性脑梗,2名患者发生出血性卒中,没有发现发生

Oncotarget:低剂量电离辐射或也可促进神经退行性疾病的发生

越来越多的人暴露于来自飞机、医疗设备等的电离辐射中,约1/3的诊断性CT扫描了脑部。据发表于Oncotarget的一项新的研究表明,这种辐射或可促进神经退行性疾病(如老年痴呆症)的发生。该研究展示了低剂量电离辐射诱导的大脑中的分子变化,类似阿尔茨海默氏症的病理变化。 最近的数据表明,即使是相对较低的辐射剂量,类似于CT扫描的辐射剂量,可能会触发与认知功能障碍相关的分子变化。 该研究中,
