Research Article: Ferulic Acid Activates SIRT-Mediated Ferroptosis Signaling Pathway to Improve Cognition Dysfunction in Wilson’s Disease
Abstract:
Wilson’s disease (WD), an autosomal recessive genetic disease, is characterized by copper metabolism disorder caused by ATPB mutation. WD is one of the few genetic diseases that can be treated by intervention, with a prevalence of /, worldwide. Due to copper deposits in the liver and brain, WD manifests as hepatic, psychiatric, and neurologic disorders. Almost % of WD patients experience psychiatric symptoms throughout the disease process, including affective, behavioral, personality, anxiety, and cognitive disturbances, which can often be reversed to some extent during anti-copper treatment. At present, the main treatment is to remove copper with a copper chelator and control the dietary intake of copper. It requires long-term medication and has withdrawal reactions, which seriously affect the life quality and prognosis of patients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find effective drugs for cognitive impairment in Wilson’s disease (WDCI).
