Migraine remains a challenging condition to treat, thus highlighting the need for a better understanding of its molecular mechanisms. This review intends to unravel a new emerging target in migraine pathophysiology, the adenosine 5'-triphosphate-sensitive K (K) channel.
K channel is a common denominator in the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) mediated intracellular cascades, both of which are involved in migraine. Intravenous infusion of K channel opener, levcromakalim, provoked migraine attack associated with dilation of extracerebral arteries in all persons with migraine. Preclinical and clinical studies implicate K channels in migraine initiation. K channel is a novel therapeutic target for the acute and preventive treatment of migraine. Future studies are warranted to provide a better understanding of the role of K channel subgroups in migraine.
偏头痛仍然是一种具有挑战性的治疗疾病,因此需要更好地了解其分子机制。本综述旨在揭示偏头痛病理生理学中的一个新的新兴靶点,即三磷酸腺苷敏感性钾 (K) 通道。
K 通道是环磷酸腺苷 (cAMP) 和环鸟苷酸 (cGMP) 介导的细胞内级联反应中的共同因素,两者均与偏头痛有关。静脉输注 K 通道 opener 利马卡林可引起偏头痛发作,并伴有偏头痛患者的颅外动脉扩张。临床前和临床研究表明 K 通道参与偏头痛的发生。K 通道是治疗偏头痛急性发作和预防偏头痛的新的治疗靶点。有必要进行进一步的研究以更好地了解 K 通道亚群在偏头痛中的作用。
