摘要:

小胶质细胞是中枢神经系统的常驻免疫细胞。在阿尔茨海默病的发病过程中,由于相关刺激因子不断作用于小胶质细胞,导致小胶质细胞自身异常激活,使细胞表型改变不平衡,这已成为研究热点之一。文章重点总结了小胶质细胞极化和与其他中枢神经系统细胞交叉对话(crosstalk)治疗阿尔茨海默病的作用研究发现:①阿尔茨海默病小胶质细胞表型的变化是连续的,在信号通路和细胞因子的作用下,小胶质细胞与星形胶质细胞、少突胶质细胞、神经元以及穿透的外周先天免疫细胞广泛交叉。②与以往单水平调节小胶质细胞表型的努力不同,靶向小胶质细胞表型并与其他中枢神经系统细胞交叉对话(crosstalk)可能更有效地减少阿尔茨海默病期间的中枢神经系统炎症,这将为减少中枢神经系统炎症引起的神经元死亡奠定理论基础,并为阿尔茨海默病治疗过程中促进神经元再生提供合适的微环境。

Abstract: Microglia are resident immune cells in the central nervous system. During the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease, stimulatory factors continuously act on the microglia causing abnormal activation and unbalanced phenotypic changes; these events have become a significant and promising area of research. In this review, we summarize the effects of microglial polarization and crosstalk with other cells in the central nervous system in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Our literature search found that phenotypic changes occur continuously in Alzheimer’s disease and that microglia exhibit extensive crosstalk with astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, neurons, and penetrated peripheral innate immune cells via specific signaling pathways and cytokines. Collectively, unlike previous efforts to modulate microglial phenotypes at a single level, targeting the phenotypes of microglia and the crosstalk with other cells in the central nervous system may be more effective in reducing inflammation in the central nervous system in Alzheimer’s disease. This would establish a theoretical basis for reducing neuronal death from central nervous system inflammation and provide an appropriate environment to promote neuronal regeneration in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
