摘要:

文章就近年来关于姜黄素在阿尔茨海默病的诊断、预防和治疗中潜在的应用价值的研究进行了总结和描述。在该病诊断方面,由于β-淀粉样蛋白和高度磷酸化的tau蛋白是阿尔茨海默病的主要生物标记物,而姜黄素能够与之特异性结合,并产生荧光反应,被广泛开发为阿尔茨海默病的早期诊断探针。在阿尔茨海默病的预防和治疗方面,由于姜黄素的多靶点作用特性,对众多的慢性疾病,如脑血管疾病、高血压和高血脂等,具有一定的保护预防作用。有研究发现姜黄素能够有效维护脑血管、线粒体和神经突触的正常结构和功能,降低多种慢性疾病的危险因素,从而降低阿尔茨海默病的发病风险。姜黄素对阿尔茨海默病的作用涉及多条信号通路:抑制β-淀粉样蛋白变性,螯合金属离子,抵抗氧化和神经炎症反应等,为姜黄素和合理应用在阿尔茨海默病的预防和治疗提供科学依据。

Abstract:

This review summarizes and describes the use of curcumin in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. For diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, amyloid-β and highly phosphorylated tau protein are the major biomarkers. Curcumin was developed as an early diagnostic probe based on its natural fluorescence and high binding affinity to amyloid-β. Because of its multi-target effects, curcumin has protective and preventive effects on many chronic diseases such as cerebrovascular disease, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. For prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, curcumin has been shown to effectively maintain the normal structure and function of cerebral vessels, mitochondria, and synapses, reduce risk factors for a variety of chronic diseases, and decrease the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The effect of curcumin on Alzheimer’s disease involves multiple signaling pathways: anti-amyloid and metal iron chelating properties, antioxidation and anti-inflammatory activities. Indeed, there is a scientific basis for the rational application of curcumin in prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
