摘要
Exendin-4是一种糖尿病新药,也是胰高血糖素样肽-1(GLP-1)类似物,能激活GLP-l受体,上调cAMP发挥生理活性。GLP-1受体与神经元可塑性及存活密切联系。Exendin-4还能激活多条信号通路,调节胞内钙离子(Ca2+)稳态,减轻兴奋性毒性,抑制细胞凋亡,促进神经元增生、分化,对神经退行性疾病有治疗作用。该文旨在阐明exendin-4的神经保护机制,为神经退行性疾病的预防与治疗提供新思路。
Exendin-4,a peptide analogue of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1),is presently in clinical trials as a therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus.Exendin-4 selectively acts on GLP-1 receptors,which are coupled to the cAMP nucleotide second messenger pathway to enhance the survival and plasticity of neurons in the brain.Exendin-4 has potent effects on homeostasis of Ca2+,on multiple targets to block apoptotic signaling pathways,and on neuronal proliferation and differentiation.It has also been demonstrated to possess properties against oxidative stress and excitotoxicity.In this review the functions of exendin-4 on central nerve system and the potentia therapeutic effects on neurodegenerative diseases will be involved.
