Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an incurable, neuropsychiatric, pathological condition that deteriorates the worth of geriatric lives. AD is characterized by aggregated senile amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, neuronal loss, gliosis, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter dysfunction, and bioenergetic deficits. The changes in GIT composition and harmony have been recognized as a decisive and interesting player in neuronal pathologies including AD. Microbiota control and influence the oxidoreductase status, inflammation, immune system, and the endocrine system through which it may have an impact on the cognitive domain. The altered and malfunctioned state of microbiota is associated with minor infections to complicated illnesses that include psychosis and neurodegeneration, and several studies show that microbiota regulates neuronal plasticity and neuronal development. The altered state of microbiota (dysbiosis) may affect behavior, stress response, and cognitive functions. Chronic stress-mediated pathological progression also has a well-defined role that intermingles at various physiological levels and directly impacts the pathological advancement of AD. Chronic stress-modulated alterations affect the well-established pathological markers of AD but also affect the gut-brain axis through the mediation of various downstream signaling mechanisms that modulate the microbial commensals of GIT. The extensive literature reports that chronic stressors affect the composition, metabolic activities, and physiological role of microbiota in various capacities. The present manuscript aims to elucidate mechanistic pathways through which stress induces dysbiosis, which in turn escalates the neuropathological cascade of AD. The stress-dysbiosis axis appears a feasible zone of work in the direction of treatment of AD.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一种无法治愈的神经精神病理状况,会降低老年患者的生活质量。AD 的特征是聚集的老年斑、神经纤维缠结、神经元丧失、神经胶质增生、氧化应激、神经递质功能障碍和生物能量不足。肠道微生物群落的组成和平衡变化已被认为是包括 AD 在内的神经病理学的一个决定性和有趣的参与者。微生物群通过控制和影响氧化还原酶状态、炎症、免疫系统和内分泌系统,从而可能对认知领域产生影响。微生物群的改变和功能障碍状态与从轻微感染到复杂疾病(包括精神病和神经退行性变)有关,几项研究表明,微生物群调节神经元可塑性和神经元发育。微生物群的改变状态(失调)可能会影响行为、应激反应和认知功能。慢性应激介导的病理进展也起着明确的作用,它在各种生理水平上相互交织,并直接影响 AD 的病理进展。慢性应激调节的改变会影响 AD 的既定病理标志物,还会通过调节肠道微生物群的各种下游信号机制来影响肠脑轴。大量文献报道,慢性应激源以各种方式影响微生物群落的组成、代谢活性和生理功能。本文旨在阐明应激诱导失调的机制途径,进而加剧 AD 的神经病理级联反应。应激-失调轴似乎是 AD 治疗方向上的一个可行工作区域。
