摘要：

隨著人口老齡化和科技的進(jìn)步，眼外肌萎縮成為了一個備受關(guān)注的問題。降鈣素基因相關(guān)肽（CGRP）是一種多肽類神經(jīng)遞質(zhì)，在眼外肌萎縮中發(fā)揮了重要的作用。本文旨在探討CGRP在眼外肌萎縮中的機制，為深入理解眼外肌萎縮的發(fā)生和發(fā)展提供參考。

本文首先介紹了眼外肌萎縮的原因和表現(xiàn)，著重說明了神經(jīng)肌肉接頭和周圍神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的損傷對眼外肌萎縮的影響。接著，本文綜述了CGRP在眼外肌萎縮中的作用。CGRP在神經(jīng)肌肉接頭中發(fā)揮了調(diào)節(jié)作用，它可以促進(jìn)神經(jīng)肌肉接頭的形成和維持，從而減緩眼外肌萎縮的進(jìn)展。同時，CGRP還可以抑制周圍神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的過度活躍，降低眼外肌壓力，減緩眼外肌疲勞和萎縮。

接下來，本文重點討論了CGRP對突觸可塑性的影響。CGRP通過調(diào)節(jié)突觸活性、神經(jīng)遞質(zhì)釋放和突觸后信號通路等方式，對神經(jīng)肌肉接頭的功能進(jìn)行調(diào)節(jié)。同時，CGRP還可以影響神經(jīng)元的發(fā)育和再生，從而有助于恢復(fù)眼外肌的功能。最后，本文探討了CGRP與其他信號通路和因子的相互作用，揭示了CGRP在眼外肌萎縮機制中的復(fù)雜性和多樣性。
