Glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) has been implicated in neurological disorders; therefore, it is not surprising that there has been an increased focus towards developing therapies directed to this kinase. Unfortunately, these current therapies have not taken into consideration the physiological role of GSK3 in crucial events like synaptic plasticity. With this in mind we will discuss the relationship of synaptic plasticity with GSK3 and tau protein and their role as potential targets for the development of therapeutic strategies. Finally, we will provide perspectives in developing a cocktail therapy for Alzheimer's treatment.
糖原合酶激酶3(GSK3)与神经疾病有关;因此,越来越关注针对该激酶开发治疗方法也就不足为奇了。不幸的是,目前这些治疗方法并未考虑GSK3在诸如突触可塑性等关键事件中的生理作用。考虑到这一点,我们将讨论突触可塑性与GSK3和tau蛋白的关系,以及它们作为治疗策略开发潜在靶点的作用。最后,我们将为开发治疗阿尔茨海默病的联合疗法提供观点。
