英文摘要 | Pathogenic germline mutations in the P-type copper-transporting ATPase (ATP7B) gene cause Wilson's disease (WD), a hereditary disorder characterized by disrupted copper metabolism. The Arg778Leu (R778L) mutation in exon 8 is prevalent among individuals with WD in East Asia and is associated with more severe phenotypes. In this study, we generated a WD mouse model harboring R778L mutation (R778L mice) using CRISPR/Cas9. R778L mice exhibit a range of pathological characteristics resembling those of patients with WD and the same point mutations, including aberrant copper metabolism, pathological cellular injury, inflammation, and severe hepatic fibrosis. At 3-5 months of age, these mice started to display neurological deficits in motor coordination and cognitive dysfunction, accompanied by increased expression of inflammatory cytokines in the central nervous system. Microglia in the striatum and cortex exhibit significant activation, shorter processes, and decreased branch points. However, the Cu2+ levels in the brain tissue of R778L mice did not differ significantly from those of wild-type mice. Notably, inhibition of hepatic inflammation with PJ34 or siNfkb markedly alleviated the deficiencies in cognitive performance and improved locomotor activity in R778L mice. Thus, this study establishes a novel murine model to investigate the pathophysiology of WD, highlights the liver-brain crosstalk responsible for neurological manifestations in individuals with WD caused by the R778L point mutation, and demonstrates the potential of modulating liver inflammation as a therapeutic strategy for alleviating the neurological manifestations of WD. |
