mGluRs调节皮层-纹状体突触可塑性与运动防治帕金森病的研究进展
摘 要:
皮层- 纹状体谷氨酸(glutamate, Glu) 能通路的异常兴奋是帕金森病(Parkinsonʹs disease, PD) 的关键病理基础。代谢性谷氨酸受体(metabotropic glutamate receptors, mGluRs) 可通过调节突触前Glu 释放和突触后传递调控皮层- 纹状体突触可塑性,是PD 临床治疗的重要干预靶点。运动疗法作为PD 康复的重要手段,可显著减缓PD 运动和认知的退变,其机制可能与重塑皮层- 纹状体突触结构与功能有关。该文就mGluRs 调控皮层- 纹状体通路Glu 传导与运动防治PD 的神经生物学机制等方面进行综述。

Abstract:
Hyperexcitability in the corticostriatal glutamatergic pathway may play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) modulate glutamate transmission by both pre- and postsynaptic mechanisms, making them attractive targets for modifying pathological changes in the corticostriatal pathway. Exercise reportedly alleviates motor and cognitive dysfunction via inducing neuroplasticity in corticostriatal synaptic junction. Here, the mGluR-mediated glutamatergic transmission in corticostriatal pathway and the plasticity mechanism underlying behavioral improvement by exercise intervention was reviewed.
