Abstract
As the most common cause of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by neurodegeneration and synaptic loss with an increasing prevalence in the elderly. Increased inflammatory responses triggers brain cells to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and accelerates the Aβ accumulation, tau protein hyper-phosphorylation leading to neurodegeneration. Therefore, in this paper, we discuss the current understanding of how inflammation affects brain activity to induce AD pathology, the inflammatory biomarkers and possible therapies that combat inflammation for AD.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是最常见的痴呆症,以神经变性和突触丧失为特征,在老年人中的发病率越来越高。炎症反应的增加会引发脑细胞产生促炎细胞因子,加速 Aβ 的积累和 tau 蛋白的过度磷酸化,从而导致神经退行性变。因此,在本文中,我们将讨论目前对炎症如何影响大脑活动以诱发 AD 病理学、炎症生物标志物以及抗炎治疗 AD 的可能疗法的理解。
