According to the amyloid hypothesis, accumulation of amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) in the brain is the primary pathogenic event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recent evidence indicates that A beta within the intravascular space is linked to A beta deposited in the brain suggesting that transport of A beta between the brain, blood and cerebrospinal fluid, and across the blood-brain barrier, regulates brain A beta. Thus, understanding A beta exchanges between brain and blood, and vice versa, and developing transport-based systemic A beta-lowering strategies may provide new important insights into pathogenesis and therapeutic control of AD.
根据淀粉样蛋白假说,淀粉样β肽(Aβ)在大脑中的积累是阿尔茨海默病(AD)的主要致病事件。最近的证据表明,血管内空间中的Aβ与沉积在大脑中的Aβ有关,这表明Aβ在大脑、血液和脑脊液之间以及穿过血脑屏障的转运调节着大脑中的Aβ。因此,了解Aβ在大脑和血液之间的交换,反之亦然,并开发基于转运的全身性降低Aβ策略,可能为AD的发病机制和治疗控制提供新的重要见解。
