As a vital pivot for the human circulatory system, the brain-gut axis is now being considered as an important channel for many of the small immune molecules' transductions, including interleukins, interferons, neurotransmitters, peptides, and the chemokines penetrating the mesentery and blood brain barrier (BBB) during the development of an ischemic stroke (IS). Hypoxia-ischemia contributes to pituitary and neurofunctional disorders by interfering with the molecular signal release and communication then providing feedback to the gut. Suffering from such a disease on a long-term basis may cause the peripheral system's homeostasis to become imbalanced, and it can also lead to multiple intestinal complications such as gut microbiota dysbiosis (GMD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and even the tumorigenesis of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Correspondingly, these complications will deteriorate the cerebral infarctions and, in patients suffering with IS, it can even ruin the brain's immune system. This review summarized recent studies on abnormal immunological signal exchange mediated polarization subtype changes, in both macrophages and microglial cells as well as T-lymphocytes. How gut complications modulate the immune signal transduction from the brain are also elucidated and analyzed. The conclusions drawn in this review could provide guidance and novel strategies to benefit remedies for both IS and relative gut lesions from immune-prophylaxis and immunotherapy aspects.
作为人体循环系统的重要枢纽,脑-肠轴现被视为许多小免疫分子转导的重要通道,这些分子包括白细胞介素、干扰素、神经递质、肽以及在缺血性中风(IS)发生发展过程中穿透肠系膜和血脑屏障(BBB)的趋化因子。缺氧缺血通过干扰分子信号释放和通讯,进而向肠道提供反馈,导致垂体和神经功能紊乱。长期患有此类疾病可能导致外周系统的稳态失衡,还可能引发多种肠道并发症,如肠道微生物群失调(GMD)、炎症性肠病(IBD)、坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC),甚至结直肠癌(CRC)的肿瘤发生。相应地,这些并发症会使脑梗死恶化,对于IS患者,甚至会破坏大脑的免疫系统。本综述总结了近期关于巨噬细胞、小胶质细胞以及T淋巴细胞中异常免疫信号交换介导的极化亚型变化的研究。还阐明并分析了肠道并发症如何调节来自大脑的免疫信号转导。本综述得出的结论可为从免疫预防和免疫治疗方面为IS及相关肠道病变的治疗提供指导和新策略。
