New pathway may alleviate anxiety

缓解焦虑新途径

Anxiety disorders can affect billions of people. Prof. Mike Fainzilber and team at Weiizmann Institute discovered a new neural mechanism underlying anxiety. It involves protein importin alpha-5, gene MeCP2 and signal molecule S1P. Targeting this biochemical pathway may lead to new therapies.

焦虑症影响着数十亿人。 Mike Fainzilber教授和魏兹曼研究所的研究小组发现了一种新的焦虑神经机制。importin alpha-5对于使MeCP2进入神经元细胞核至关重要。反过来，细胞核中MeCP2水平的变化影响参与产生称为S1P的信号分子的酶的水平。在缺乏输入蛋白α-5的情况下，MeCP2未能进入焦虑控制神经元的细胞核，减少S1P信号传导并降低焦虑。
