Although the pathogenetic pathway of moyamoya disease (MMD) remains unknown, studies have indicated that variations in the RING finger protein RNF 213 is the strongest susceptible gene of MMD. In addition to the polymorphism of this gene, many circulating angiogenetic factors such as growth factors, vascular progenitor cells, inflammatory and immune mediators, angiogenesis related cytokines, as well as circulating proteins promoting intimal hyperplasia, excessive collateral formation, smooth muscle migration and atypical migration may also play critical roles in producing this disease. Identification of these circulating molecules biomarkers may be used for the early detection of this disease. In this chapter, how the hypothesized pathophysiology of these factors affect MMD and the interactive modulation between them are summarized.
虽然烟雾病(MMD)的发病机制尚不清楚,但研究表明,环指蛋白 RNF213 的变异是 MMD 最强的易感基因。除了该基因的多态性外,许多循环血管生成因子,如生长因子、血管祖细胞、炎症和免疫介质、血管生成相关细胞因子,以及促进内膜增生、过度侧支形成、平滑肌迁移和非典型迁移的循环蛋白等,也可能在产生这种疾病中起关键作用。鉴定这些循环分子生物标志物可用于疾病的早期检测。在本章中,总结了这些因素的假设病理生理学如何影响 MMD 以及它们之间的相互调节。
