Abstract

Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactor, multiple genes disease which involving a variety of mechanisms. Neuroinflammatory response is one of the mechanisms. Many inflammatory cytokines are involved. It may be used in clinic as biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Many proteins encoded by mutant genes can damage the function of immune system, lead to immune dysfunction and drive the inflammatory response of central nervous system and peripheral immune system. There are many kinds of inflammatory cytokines with great diversification in their levels which influenced by the stage, type and comorbidity of the disease, the results are not consistent at present, and there is no single inflammatory cytokine identified as a specific marker. Inflammatory cytokines have a certain prospect as therapeutic monitoring markers and targets.

Key words: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, gene variant, inflammatory cytokines
