The mechanisms of action of dimethyl fumarate (DMF), and its metabolite, monomethyl fumarate (MMF), for the treatment of multiple sclerosis are not completely elucidated.
To discuss the role of DMF/MMF-induced hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA/GPR109A) pathway activation in the immune response and treatment of MS.
A narrative (traditional) review of the current literature.
Studies have shown that binding of DMF/MMF to HCA on dendritic cells inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in vitro and in MS murine models. Evidence suggests that activation of HCA expressed in immune cells and gut epithelial cells by DMF/MMF, may induce anti-inflammatory responses in the intestinal mucosa.
Although the DMF/MMF mechanism of action remains unclear, evidence suggests that the activation of HCA/GPR109A pathway downregulates the immune response and may activate anti-inflammatory response in the intestinal mucosa, possibly leading to reduction in CNS tissue damage in MS patients.
二甲基富马酸（DMF）及其代谢产物单甲基富马酸（MMF）治疗多发性硬化症的作用机制尚未完全阐明。
讨论 DMF/MMF 诱导的羟羧酸受体 2（HCA/GPR109A）通路激活在免疫反应和 MS 治疗中的作用。
对当前文献进行叙述性（传统）综述。
研究表明，DMF/MMF 与树突状细胞上的 HCA 结合可抑制体外和 MS 鼠模型中促炎细胞因子的产生。有证据表明，DMF/MMF 激活免疫细胞和肠道上皮细胞中表达的 HCA，可能在肠道黏膜中诱导抗炎反应。
尽管 DMF/MMF 的作用机制尚不清楚，但有证据表明 HCA/GPR109A 通路的激活可下调免疫反应，并可能在肠道黏膜中激活抗炎反应，从而减少 MS 患者中枢神经系统组织损伤。
