Parkinson's disease (PD), a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder, is linked to genetics and environment, but its mechanisms remain unclear. Emerging evidence connects purinergic signaling-particularly ATP-sensitive P2X7 receptor (P2X7R)-to PD. P2X7R expression is elevated in PD patients, and its antagonist BBG mitigates 6-OHDA-induced dopaminergic neuron death. This review discusses P2X7R's structure, neural functions, PD-related mechanisms, and therapeutic potential as a targert.
帕金森病（PD）是一种常见的神经退行性疾病，与遗传和环境因素有关，但其发病机制仍不清楚。越来越多的证据表明嘌呤能信号传导，特别是三磷酸腺苷敏感的P2X7受体（P2X7R）与帕金森病有关。P2X7R在帕金森病患者中的表达升高，其拮抗剂BBG可减轻6-羟基多巴胺诱导的多巴胺能神经元死亡。本文综述了P2X7R的结构、神经功能、与帕金森病相关的机制以及作为靶点的治疗潜力。
