The prevalence of hyperuricemia (HUA) is climbing worldwide and persistent elevation of serum uric acid impairs cognitive function. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms of Artemisinin (Art) antagonizing cognitive disorder in HUA by suppressing pyroptosis. A mouse model of HUA was established by intraperitoneal injection of 300 mg/kg potassium oxonate (PO) in C57BL/6 mice for 14 days. The mice were simultaneously treated with Art, an agonist of pyroptosis Polyphyllin VI (PPVI), or glutamate receptor-interacting protein 1 (GRIP1) knockdown...
