Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor impairment, resulting from the accumulation of α-synuclein and neuronal cell death in the substantia nigra of the midbrain. Emerging evidence suggests that α-synuclein aggregation may originate in the enteric nervous system (ENS) and subsequently propagate to the brain via the vagus nerve. Clinical observations, such as prodromal gastrointestinal dysfunction in PD patients and the increased incidence of PD among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease, support the hypothesis that abnormal intestinal inflammation may contribute to the onset of motor dysfunction and neuropathology in PD. This review examines recent findings on the interplay between intestinal immune cells and α-synuclein aggregation within the framework of gut-originated PD pathogenesis. It begins by discussing evidence linking dysbiosis and intestinal inflammation to α-synuclein aggregation in the ENS. Additionally, it explores the potential role of intestinal immune cells in influencing enteric neurons and α-synuclein aggregation, furthering the understanding of PD development.
帕金森病(PD)是一种神经退行性疾病,主要特征为运动障碍,由中脑黑质中α-突触核蛋白的积累和神经元细胞死亡所致。新出现的证据表明,α-突触核蛋白聚集可能起源于肠神经系统(ENS),随后通过迷走神经传播至大脑。临床观察结果,如帕金森病患者前驱期胃肠功能障碍以及炎症性肠病患者中帕金森病发病率增加,支持了异常肠道炎症可能导致帕金森病运动功能障碍和神经病理学发生这一假说。本综述在肠道源性帕金森病发病机制框架内,探讨了肠道免疫细胞与α-突触核蛋白聚集之间相互作用的最新研究结果。首先讨论了将肠道微生物群失调和肠道炎症与肠神经系统中α-突触核蛋白聚集联系起来的证据。此外,还探讨了肠道免疫细胞在影响肠神经元和α-突触核蛋白聚集中的潜在作用,以加深对帕金森病发展的理解。
