摘要:

有证据表明,炎症和抑郁之间存在双向关系。由于NLRP3炎症小体的激活与多种神经系统疾病的发病机制密切相关,且在重度抑郁患者中,NLRP3炎症小体显著高表达。因此,了解NLRP3炎症小体介导的神经炎症在抑郁发病机制中的作用将有利于探索未来的治疗策略。此次综述旨在阐明抑郁中导致NLRP3炎症小体激活的机制,并深入了解针对NLRP3炎性小体的治疗策略。此外,文章还概括了针对NLRP3炎症小体的各种治疗策略,包括NLRP3炎性通路抑制剂、天然化合物和其他化合物以及非药物疗法。这些方法在抑郁治疗方面取得了显著效果。最后总结了有关抑郁临床试验中NLRP3炎症小体抑制剂的应用。虽然目前关于NLRP3炎症小体抑制剂在抑郁治疗的临床试验还很少,但该领域的研究已经引起了广泛关注,这为抑郁治疗带来了新希望。因此有必要确定这些方法治疗抑郁的有效性和安全性,这将为临床抑郁治疗开辟新的道路。

Abstract: Previous studies have demonstrated a bidirectional relationship between inflammation and depression. Activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes is closely related to the pathogenesis of various neurological diseases. In patients with major depressive disorder, NLRP3 inflammasome levels are significantly elevated. Understanding the role that NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated neuroinflammation plays in the pathogenesis of depression may be beneficial for future therapeutic strategies. In this review, we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms that lead to the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in depression as well as to provide insight into therapeutic strategies that target the NLRP3 inflammasome. Moreover, we outlined various therapeutic strategies that target the NLRP3 inflammasome, including NLRP3 inflammatory pathway inhibitors, natural compounds, and other therapeutic compounds that have been shown to be effective in treating depression. Additionally, we summarized the application of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors in clinical trials related to depression. Currently, there is a scarcity of clinical trials dedicated to investigating the applications of NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitors in depression treatment. The modulation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in microglia holds promise for the management of depression. Further investigations are necessary to ascertain the efficacy and safety of these therapeutic approaches as potential novel antidepressant treatments.
