Ajugol Restores Mitophagy in Acute Gouty Arthritis
2026-09-24
The study links impaired PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy with NLRP3-driven chondrocyte pyroptosis in gouty arthritis and reports that ajugol limits this injury by suppressing PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling. Cell and mouse experiments support the mechanism, while the use of cyclosporin A as a mitophagy perturbation helps test the pathway but does not by itself establish a selective target.
