中文摘要: 脑内小胶质细胞的活化引起的神经炎症是帕金森病(Parkinson's Disease,PD)重要的发病机制之一。通过抑制、减轻神经炎症反应为靶点改善和阻断PD的进展,是防治PD的一个有效新策略。我们前期研究发现:利福平可通过抑制TLR-4介导的NF-κB通路的激活,减轻神经炎症从而发挥神经元的保护作用。我们进一步运用蛋白质组学技术研究发现:利福平可抑制MSS1的表达,而MSS1是泛素-蛋白酶体途径重要的调节亚基,可以启动相关炎症基因的表达,但其作用的分子机制尚未阐明。根据预实验结果我们推测:调控MSS1的表达可能成为防治PD的一个潜在靶点。因此,本研究拟通过体内、外实验,阐明调控MSS1的表达致NF-κB的活化受抑制从而引起促炎症细胞因子水平的降低在PD疾病中发挥重要作用的分子机制,这将为PD的防治提供全新的视角和靶点。

英文摘要: There was abundant evidence showing that the constant activation and release of pro-inflammatory factors promoted the development of Parkinson's Disease. Thus, the inhibition of these pro-inflammatory mediators offers a potential therapeutic strategy for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. We previously found that rifampicin improved survival of catecholamine and α-synuclein-containing cells, which degenerate in PD, thus might be therapeutic in this disease. Rifampicin suppressed the release of pro-inflammatory mediators including nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) from BV2 microglial cells that were pre-treated with lipopolysaccharides (LPS). It acted as a neuroprotector to increase neuronal survival against microglia-induced neuron death. Our results strongly supported rifampicin as a potential therapeutic for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Despite of the above findings, the mechanism through which rifampicin inhibits inflammation in microglial cells is not completely understood. NF-κB is an important transcription factor for the expression of proinflammatory mediators. In unstimulated cells, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB) binds to IkappaBalpha (IκBα) and its activity is inhibited. The activation of NF-kB is initiated by sign
