Application of ERK/mTOR signal path regulator to preparation of a drug for improving or treating neurodevelopmental disorder related diseases

Abstract

The invention discloses an application of an ERK / mTOR signal path regulator to preparation of a drug for improving or treating neurodevelopmental disorder related diseases. The ERK / mTOR signal path regulator comprises an agonist and an inhibitor, and the agonist of a specific ERK / mTOR signal path comprises PLPPR4 protein. The agonist is mainly applied to preparation of the drug or kits for promoting burst breeding and / or axon regeneration of neuron trees, and the ERK / mTOR signal path inhibitor is applied to preparation of growth inhibition cell models or animal models of neuron dendrites or axons.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to the application of ERK / mTOR signaling pathway regulators in the preparation of drugs for improving or treating diseases related to neurodevelopmental disorders. Background technique [0002] Intellectual disability (ID) is a common birth defect, also known as mental retardation, mental retardation (Mental Retardation, MR), is a group of onset before the age of 18, obvious cognitive impairment and two or two A neurodevelopmental disability characterized by deficits in more than one adaptive behavior. The etiology of ID is complex and can be divided into genetic factors and non-genetic factors. Genetic factors are an important cause of moderate to severe ID, including gene copy number variation, gene mutation, and other genomic variations. The former two account for at least 30% of ID. Non-genetic factors are also important causes of mild intellectual disability, such as malnutrition ...

Problems solved by technology

However, the direct relationship between the PLPPR4 gene and mental retardation and the specific mechanism of action are unknown. Existing studies have shown that the deletion of the PLPPR4 gene can lead to mental retardation, and it may be involved in regulating a series of signaling pathways to ultimately affect the plasticity of neurons. Therefore, research The signaling pathway regulated by the PLPPR4 gene plays an important role in the field of neurological diseases caused by the loss of neuron function, and has obvious implications in the fields of drug screening and disease treatment.
