Fragile X (FMR1) premutation is a common mutation that affects about 1 in 200 females and 1 in 450 males and can lead to the development of fragile-X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS). Although there is no targeted, proven treatment for FXTAS, research suggests that sulforaphane, an antioxidant present in cruciferous vegetables, can enhance mitochondrial function and maintain redox balance in the dermal fibroblasts of individuals with FXTAS, potentially leading to improved cognitive function. In a 24-week open-label trial involving 15 adults aged 60-88 with FXTAS, 11 participants successfully completed the study, demonstrating the safety and tolerability of sulforaphane. Clinical outcomes and biomarkers were measured to elucidate the effects of sulforaphane. While there were nominal improvements in multiple clinical measures, they were not significantly different after correction for multiple comparisons. PBMC energetic measures showed that the level of citrate synthase was higher after sulforaphane treatment, resulting in lower ATP production. The ratio of complex I to complex II showed positive correlations with the MoCA and BDS scores. Several mitochondrial biomarkers showed increased activity and quantity and were correlated with clinical improvements.
脆性 X 综合征 (FMR1) 前突变是一种常见的突变,影响大约每 200 名女性和每 450 名男性中的 1 名,可导致脆性 X 相关震颤共济失调综合征 (FXTAS) 的发生。尽管目前尚无针对 FXTAS 的特效治疗方法,但研究表明,存在于十字花科蔬菜中的抗氧化剂萝卜硫素可以增强 FXTAS 个体的线粒体功能并维持氧化还原平衡,从而可能改善认知功能。在一项涉及 15 名年龄在 60-88 岁之间的 FXTAS 成年人的 24 周开放性标签试验中,有 11 名参与者成功完成了研究,证明了萝卜硫素的安全性和耐受性。测量了临床结果和生物标志物,以阐明萝卜硫素的作用。虽然多项临床指标有明显改善,但经多次比较校正后,差异无统计学意义。PBMC 能量测量结果显示,萝卜硫素治疗后柠檬酸合酶水平升高,导致 ATP 生成减少。复合物 I 与复合物 II 的比值与 MoCA 和 BDS 评分呈正相关。几种线粒体生物标志物显示活性和数量增加,并与临床改善相关。
