AMP-活化蛋白激酶与缺血性脑血管病

作为细胞内的能量感受器，AMP-活化蛋白激酶(AMP-activated protein kinase,AMPK)在维持细胞和机体能量平衡中发挥着重要作用。最初，AMPK在糖尿病、肥胖等代谢性疾病的病理生理学过程中的作用研究较多；近年来，AMPK在脑组织中的分布以及酸中毒、氧化应激损伤和细胞凋亡等病理生理学过程中的作用日益受到重视。同时发现，卒中后人为调节AMPK活性可改变神经细胞结局。因此，AMPK有望成为治疗缺血性脑血管病的新靶点。

AMP-activated protein kinase and ischemic cerebrovascular disease

As an intracellular energy sensor, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) plays an important role in maintaining the energy balance of the cells and organisms. Initially, the effects of AMPK on the processes of pathophysiology in diabetes, obesity and other metabolic diseases were well studied. In recent years, the roles of AMPK in the pathophysioiogical processes, including distribution and acidosis, oxidative stress injury and apoptosis in brain tissue have received increasing attention. At the same time, it also found that artificially regulates the AMPK activity after stroke may change the outcome of neurons. Therefore, AMPK is expected to become a new target in the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
