摘要:

一氧化氮是一种普遍存在的气体细胞信使,参与中枢神经系统的多种生理和病理过程。在血管性痴呆中不同阶段,一氧化氮的含量及生物利用度是不断变化的,在晚期出现显著下降,影响血管性痴呆的认知功能障碍。一氧化氮是一把双刃剑,生理浓度的一氧化氮具有神经保护作用,但一氧化氮的缺乏或过量都可能导致突触功能障碍及神经元的损伤;然而,在血管性痴呆中的作用机制尚不完全清楚。文章首先总结了最近一氧化氮生理状态下和血管性痴呆病理状态下的变化情况。然后,重点讨论了一氧化氮对血管性痴呆中突触功能障碍的影响及其作用机制,包括突触前及突触后功能障碍、神经炎症、氧化应激、血脑屏障功能障碍、内质网应激等方面对血管性痴呆发展的作用机制。此外,靶向NO-sGC-cGMP通路,提高一氧化氮含量及生物利用度可能为血管性痴呆提供了一种新的治疗策略。

Abstract: With an increase in global aging, the number of people affected by cerebrovascular diseases is also increasing, and the incidence of vascular dementia—closely related to cerebrovascular risk—is increasing at an epidemic rate. However, few therapeutic options exist that can markedly improve the cognitive impairment and prognosis of vascular dementia patients. Similarly in Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological disorders, synaptic dysfunction is recognized as the main reason for cognitive decline. Nitric oxide is one of the ubiquitous gaseous cellular messengers involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes of the central nervous system. Recently, nitric oxide has been implicated in regulating synaptic plasticity and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular dementia. This review introduces in detail the emerging role of nitric oxide in physiological and pathological states of vascular dementia and summarizes the diverse effects of nitric oxide on different aspects of synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and blood–brain barrier dysfunction that underlie the progress of vascular dementia. Additionally, we propose that targeting the nitric oxide-sGC-cGMP pathway using certain specific approaches may provide a novel therapeutic strategy for vascular dementia.
