Evidence shows that pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) improves stroke outcomes and dementia. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) controls the peptide and regulatory protein exchange between the central nervous system and the blood; the transport of these regulatory substances across the BBB has been altered in animal models of stroke and Alzheimer's disease (AD). PACAP is a powerful neurotrophin that can cross the BBB, which may aid in the therapy of neurodegenerative diseases, including stroke and AD. PACAP may function as a potential drug in the treatment, prevention, or management of stroke and AD and other neurodegenerative conditions. Here, we review the effects of PACAP in studies on stroke and dementias.
证据表明,垂体腺苷酸环化酶激活肽(PACAP)可改善中风和痴呆的预后。血脑屏障(BBB)控制着中枢神经系统和血液之间的肽和调节蛋白交换;在中风和阿尔茨海默病(AD)的动物模型中,这些调节物质的跨 BBB 转运已经发生改变。PACAP 是一种强大的神经营养因子,可以穿过 BBB,这可能有助于治疗神经退行性疾病,包括中风和 AD。PACAP 可能作为一种潜在的药物,用于治疗、预防或管理中风、AD 和其他神经退行性疾病。在这里,我们综述了 PACAP 在中风和痴呆研究中的作用。
