摘要

腺苷酸活化蛋白激酶(AMP-activated protein kinase, AMPK)是参与调节糖、脂肪和蛋白质的代谢,维持细胞能量稳态的关键丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶。新近研究表明:AMPK可通过磷酸化SIRT1、PGC-lα、p53和FoxO3a等下调核因子-κB的活性、抑制炎症相关基因的表达并减轻组织炎症损伤;此外,临床常用的降糖药二甲双胍也可通过激活AMPK而减轻炎症损伤。因而,AMPK将成为极具前景的抗炎药物开发新靶点。本文就AMPK的炎症调控效应及其分子机制作一综述。

Abstract

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a pivotal serine/threonine kinase participating in the regulation of glucose, lipid as well as protein metabolism and maintenance of energy homeostasis. Recent studies demonstrated that AMPK can also inhibit nuclear factor-κB, suppress the expression of inflammatory genes and attenuate inflammatory injury through phosphorylating its downstream targets including SIRT1, PGC-lα, p53 and FoxO3a. In addition, the widely used antidiabetic metformin also exerts its anti-inflammatory effects through activating AMPK. Therefore, AMPK is emerging as a promising novel target for the development of anti-inflammatory drugs. This review summarized the anti-inflammatory effects of AMPK and the underling molecular mechanisms.

Key words: AMP-activated protein kinase; inflammation; nuclear factor-κB; metformin
