STRESZCZENIE
Wstęp:
Peptyd BPC-157 (body protection compound-157) wykazuje szerokie działanie modulujące w obrębie osi jelitowo-mózgowej (gut–brain axis – GBA), wpływając na funkcje układu nerwowego i przewodu pokarmowego. Dane eksperymentalne wskazują, że może on działać neuroprotekcyjnie, regulować odpowiedź zapalną oraz oddziaływać na nastroje i funkcje poznawcze. Zrozumienie jego mechanizmów może mieć znaczenie kliniczne w terapii chorób neurodegeneracyjnych i psychiatrycznych. Celem pracy jest kompleksowa analiza danych eksperymentalnych i klinicznych dotyczących aktywności biologicznej BPC-157, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem wpływu peptydu na GBA oraz potencjalnego znaczenia terapeutycznego w neurodegeneracji i zaburzeniach psychicznych.

Materiał i metody:
Autorzy przeglądu niezależnie przeszukali i ocenili badania dostępne w medycznych bazach danych takich jak PubMed, Scopus oraz repozytoria instytucjonalne. Proces ekstrakcji i syntezy danych przeprowadzono zgodnie z wytycznymi PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses), zapewniającymi przejrzystość i rzetelność metodologiczną.

Wyniki:
Zgromadzone dane wskazują, że BPC-157 wykazuje wyraźne właściwości cytoprotekcyjne, przeciwzapalne i regeneracyjne w modelach przedklinicznych. Zwiększa przeżywalność neuronów, sprzyja angiogenezie i plastyczności synaptycznej, a także moduluje kluczowe układy neuroprzekaźnikowe – dopaminergiczny, serotoninergiczny i GABA-ergiczny. W modelach zwierzęcych BPC-157 poprawia koordynację ruchową, funkcje poznawcze oraz procesy regeneracyjne po uszkodzeniach układu nerwowego. Wstępne badania kliniczne wskazują na korzystny profil bezpieczeństwa, jednak dane dotyczące skuteczności klinicznej pozostają ograniczone.

Wnioski:
BPC-157 wykazuje szerokie działanie ochronne i regeneracyjne o potencjalnym znaczeniu w chorobach neurologicznych i psychiatrycznych. Jego wielokierunkowe oddziaływanie na GBA stanowi obiecujący kierunek badań terapeutycznych, jednak konieczne są dobrze zaprojektowane badania kliniczne w celu potwierdzenia skuteczności, poznania mechanizmów działania i ustalenia optymalnych strategii dawkowania.
