Neuropsychiatric disorders denote a broad range of illnesses involving neurology and psychiatry. These disorders include depressive disorders, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, headaches, and epilepsy. In addition to their main neuropathology that lies in the central nervous system (CNS), lately, studies have highlighted the role of immunity and neuroinflammation in neuropsychiatric disorders. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are innate receptors that act as a bridge between the innate and adaptive immune systems via adaptor proteins (e.g., MYD88) and downstream elements; TLRs are classified into 13 families that are involved in normal function and illnesses of the CNS. TLRs expression affects the course of neuropsychiatric disorders, and is influenced during their pharmacotherapy; For example, the expression of multiple TLRs is normalized during the major depressive disorder pharmacotherapy. Here, the role of TLRs in neuroimmunology, treatment, and management of neuropsychiatric disorders is discussed. We recommend longitudinal studies to comparatively assess the cell-type-specific expression of TLRs during treatment, illness progression, and remission. Also, further research should explore molecular insights into TLRs regulation and related pathways.
神经精神疾病是指涉及神经科和精神科的广泛的疾病。这些疾病包括抑郁症、焦虑症、精神分裂症、双相情感障碍、注意缺陷多动障碍、自闭症谱系障碍、头痛和癫痫。除了它们主要的神经病理学位于中枢神经系统(CNS)之外,最近的研究强调了免疫和神经炎症在神经精神疾病中的作用。 Toll 样受体(TLR)是先天受体,通过衔接蛋白(如 MYD88)和下游元件在先天免疫系统和适应性免疫系统之间充当桥梁;TLR 分为 13 个家族,参与中枢神经系统的正常功能和疾病。TLR 的表达影响神经精神疾病的病程,并在其药物治疗期间受到影响;例如,在重度抑郁症药物治疗期间,多种 TLR 的表达得到了正常化。在这里,我们讨论了 TLR 在神经免疫、治疗和管理神经精神疾病中的作用。我们建议进行纵向研究,以比较评估 TLR 在治疗、疾病进展和缓解期间的细胞类型特异性表达。此外,还应进一步研究 TLR 调节及其相关途径的分子见解。
