Abstract:

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of cognitive impairment in the elderly. However, the pathogenesis of AD remains unclear. Persistent excessive inflammatory response plays a pivotal role in the development of AD. It has been suggested that activation of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is important for inflammatory response in AD. This article reviews the structure and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and the specific inhibitors of NLRP3 inflammasome.

摘要:

阿尔茨海默病是导致老年人认知功能障碍最为常见的疾病,其具体发病机制迄今尚未阐明,持续过度的炎症反应在阿尔茨海默病的病理生理学机制中发挥重要作用。核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域样受体蛋白3(NLRP3)炎症小体信号转导通路是阿尔茨海默病炎症反应的关键环节,本文拟对NLRP3炎症小体的结构和激活机制、参与阿尔茨海默病炎症反应的机制以及特异性NLRP3炎症小体抑制剂进行综述。
