摘要 自1907年始,阿尔次海默病(AD)就被定义为发生在记忆和认知功能脑区的病变:神经原纤维缠结(NFT)、老年斑(淀粉样斑块,SP)的形成以及神经元的进行性死亡。β-淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)是老年斑的主要成分,并且被认为在AD的发生和发展过程中起着很重要的作用。脑内Aβ的水平存在着一个动态平衡:一方面,由Aβ的前体蛋白(APP)经β泌肽酶和γ泌肽酶相继酶切后产生Aβ,进而形成寡聚体并且沉积形成老年斑;另一方面,Aβ可以被NEP等降解酶水解。而AD病人脑内的这一动态平衡被打乱了。在某些病理情况下(如缺氧或者缺血)或者随着年龄的增加,这些降解Aβ的酶的表达水平降低,这就会促进AD的发生。而相反的,以药理学等方法增加这些降解酶的活性,可以起到神经保护作用。这就为AD的治疗提供了一个新思维。
