线粒体自噬在线粒体数量和质量控制以及线粒体正常功能的维持中具有重要作用，与阿尔兹海默病、帕金森氏病等神经退行性疾病的发生发展密切相关。线粒体自噬过度和自噬障碍以及自噬相关基因发生突变等均影响退行性疾病病理进程。本文就线粒体自噬途径、线粒体自噬与神经退行性疾病的关系等作一综述，并探讨针灸调控线粒体自噬防治神经退行性疾病的可能机制，以期进一步丰富针灸防治神经退行性疾病机制的内涵。

Mitochondrial autophagy plays an important role in the control of mitochondrial quantity and quality and in the maintenance of normal mitochondrial function, and is closely associated with the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Mitochondrial autophagy and autophagy disorders, as well as mutations in autophagy-related genes, are involved in the pathological process of degenerative diseases. In this paper, we review the Mitochondrial autophagy pathway, the relationship between mitochondrial autophagy and neurodegenerative diseases, and explore the possible mechanisms by which acupuncture regulates mitochondrial autophagy to prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases, in order to further enrich the connotation of the prevention and treatment mechanism of acupuncture in neurodegenerative diseases.
