【APSB推荐】揭示中药钩藤有效成分诱导自噬缓解帕金森病模型损伤的药效和机制...帕金森病（Parkinson’s disease, PD）是第二常见的神经退行性疾病，在中国约有两百万帕金森病患者。帕金森病的病理特征表现为错误折叠的α-突触核蛋白（α-synuclein）的异常堆积以及中脑黑质多巴胺能神经元的变性死亡。帕金森的临床表型包括多种运动和非运动症状，严重影响患者的生活质量。目前针对疾病的治疗方案主要是对症治疗，因此开发能够减缓疾病进程的神经保护药物具有重要科学和医学意义。自噬是细胞清除异常聚集蛋白和衰老受损细胞器的重要质量控制机制。自噬功能的损伤是衰老的标志，也是帕金森病的重要病理特点。因此修复和增强自噬活性有望成为治疗帕金森病的新策略。 |
