ObjectiveTo explore the role of cuproptosis and identify cuproptosis-related genes in Wilson disease （WD） through bioinformatics analysis and clinical validation，providing implications and directions for the diagnosis and treatment of WD. Methods（1） Screening of target genes： The differentially expressed genes （DEGs） between WD and healthy control were obtained from GeneCards，and the cuproptosis-related genes were obtained from Gene Expression Omnibus （GEO） and published literature.The cuproptosis-related genes in WD were obtained by intersection.Through gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analyses，the specific biological process，functions or metabolic pathways of cuproptosis-related genes in WD were predicted.Molecular docking and PyMOL visualization were then performed to analyze and verify the potential regulatory mechanism of Gandou Fumu Decoction for cuproptosis.（2）Validation of target genes： The blood samples of 15 WD patients treated in the department of encephalopathy and 15 healthy volunteers undergoing physical examinations in the health management center were randomly collected from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine.The expression levels of target genes were determined by Western blot and real-time PCR. Results（1） A total of 3 607 DEGs in WD were obtained from GSE107323 in GEO，and 68 cuproptosis-related genes were obtained from GeneCards and published literature.Twelve common target genes were obtained by intersection，including three up-related genes（SQSTM1，MIF1，and TAX1BP1） and nine down-regulated genes（CP，SERPINE1，AOC3，GPX4，SLC27A5，VEGF-A，PDHB，PDK1，and ATP7B）.The common target genes were mainly enriched in monocarboxylic acid metabolism，oxidoreductase activity，negative regulation of molecular functions，which mainly involved HIF-1，ferroptosis and other signaling pathways.Molecular docking and PyMOL visualization results showed Gandou Fumu Decoction had good binding ability with the cuproptosis-related genes PDK1，SERPINE1，VEGFA，and AOC3 in WD.（2）A total of 30 blood samples were collected，including 15 WD patients and 15 health volunteers.Western blot results showed that expression levels of target genes were consistent with the results obtained by bioinformatics analysis.RT-qPCR results showed that compared with healthy volunteers，WD patients had down-regulated mRNA levels of SERPINE1，GPX4，SLC27A5，and VEGF-A and up-regulated mRNA levels of SQSTM1 and MIF1（P<0.05）. ConclusionThe expression levels of cuproptosis-related genes in WD patients are consistent with the results predicted by bioinformatics analysis.The characteristic preparation Gandou Fumu Decoction of Xin'an Medicine showed good binding abilities with the cuproptosis-related genes in WD.Cuproptosis may play a key role in the pathophysiological mechanism of WD，which can provide a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of WD.
