引言

自20世纪50年代糖皮质激素(皮质类固醇)开始作为一种治疗药物以来,已经公认肌病是这类药物的副作用[1]。肌病可见于任何糖皮质激素制剂的治疗中。对于年龄较大的患者和治疗开始前就有癌症或负氮平衡的患者,其风险可能增加[2]。类似症状也可见于库欣综合征患者。 (参见“库欣综合征的流行病学和临床表现”)

糖皮质激素诱导性肌病的主要内容将总结在此。与糖皮质激素治疗(包括口服和吸入)相关的其他副作用,将单独讨论。 (参见“全身性应用糖皮质激素的主要副作用”“吸入性糖皮质激素的主要副作用”)

发病机制

糖皮质激素通过影响为糖异生作用提供氨基酸作为底物的中间代谢,从而对骨骼肌产生直接分解代谢作用。糖皮质激素受体激活似乎也参与其中[3,4],因为糖皮质受体拮抗剂可预防肌病发生[3]。

一个实验模型的研究结果,提示了危重病情况下的另一种机制。在该模型中,糖皮质激素治疗干扰了胰岛素样生长因子-Ⅰ(insulin-like growth factor-Ⅰ, IGF-Ⅰ)的信号传递,从而增加了肌细胞的细胞凋亡[5]。 (参见下文‘糖皮质激素与神经肌肉阻断药’)

一种具有蛋白激酶活性的细胞内信号分子称为Akt1(Akt的主要亚型)[6],其可能分别在肌肉对糖皮质激素的萎缩性反应,以及肌肉对IGF-Ⅰ肥大性反应中起着主要作用[7,8]。糖皮质激素诱导的Akt1抑制,最终可导致泛素连接酶atrogin-1(MAFbx)增加,这种酶可使目标肌肉蛋白降解[7,9]。相反,IGF-Ⅰ信号传递可增强Akt1的活性,而Akt1能抑制肌肉萎缩和诱导肌肉肥大[8]。
