Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), a refractory urinary system disorder, is closely associated with dysregulation of the brain-gut-prostate axis. Emerging evidence highlights the pivotal role of gut microbiota dysbiosis and its bidirectional interactions with the neuroimmune system in CP/CPPS pathogenesis. This systematic review integrates perspectives from microbiomics, neuroimmunology, and metabolomics to propose a theoretical framework of the brain-gut-prostate axis and multi-dimensional therapeutic strategies targeting this axis. By transcending conventional localized anti-inflammatory approaches, these strategies aim to address clinical resistance and phenotypic heterogeneity. Mechanistic insights into microbiota-derived metabolites (e.g., short-chain fatty acids, SCFAs), neuroendocrine signaling (e.g., thyrotropin-releasing hormone, TRH), and immune crosstalk (e.g., Th17/Treg imbalance) are explored, alongside innovative therapies such as microbiome modulation, neural interventions, and immune regulation. This holistic paradigm not only provides new mechanistic insights but also offers promising avenues for personalized management and translational research in CP/CPPS, potentially overcoming current therapeutic bottlenecks.
慢性前列腺炎/慢性盆腔疼痛综合征(CP/CPPS)是一种难治性泌尿系统疾病,与脑-肠-前列腺轴的失调密切相关。新出现的证据强调了肠道微生物群失调及其与神经免疫系统的双向相互作用在CP/CPPS发病机制中的关键作用。本系统综述整合了微生物组学、神经免疫学和代谢组学的观点,提出了脑-肠-前列腺轴的理论框架以及针对该轴的多维治疗策略。通过超越传统的局部抗炎方法,这些策略旨在解决临床耐药性和表型异质性问题。探讨了微生物群衍生代谢物(如短链脂肪酸,SCFAs)、神经内分泌信号(如促甲状腺激素释放激素,TRH)和免疫串扰(如Th17/Treg失衡)的机制,以及微生物群调节、神经干预和免疫调节等创新疗法。这种整体范式不仅提供了新的机制见解,还为CP/CPPS的个性化管理和转化研究提供了有前景的途径,有可能克服当前的治疗瓶颈。
