There is now a considerable body of experimental evidence that Parkinson's disease arises through physiological interaction of causative molecules, leading to tau pathology. In this review, we discuss the physiological role of α-synuclein and LRRK2 in the abnormal phosphorylation of tau. In addition, as recent reports have indicated that heat shock proteins- (HSPs-) inducing drugs can help to ameliorate neurodegenerative diseases associated with tau pathology, we also discuss therapeutic strategies for PD focusing on inhibition of α-synuclein- and LRRK2-associated tau phosphorylation by HSPs.
现在有大量实验证据表明,帕金森病是由致病分子的生理相互作用导致tau病理而引发的。在本综述中,我们讨论了α-突触核蛋白和富含亮氨酸重复激酶2(LRRK2)在tau异常磷酸化中的生理作用。此外,由于最近的报告表明,诱导热休克蛋白(HSPs)的药物有助于改善与tau病理相关的神经退行性疾病,我们还讨论了以通过热休克蛋白抑制与α-突触核蛋白和LRRK2相关的tau磷酸化为重点的帕金森病治疗策略。
