Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of upadacitinib on the polarization and inflammation of BV2 microglia after oxygen glucose deprivation/recovery (OGD/R) and to explore its mechanism of action. Methods The experiment was divided into 3 groups: control group, OGD group and upadacitinib treatment group. After BV2 cells were treated with OGD/R, MTT was used to detect cell survival rate. Wound scratch assay was used to detect the cell migration ability. qPCR was used to detect mRNA levels of M1-type polarization markers (CD11b, CD32, iNOS) and M2-type polarization markers (Arg-1, IL-10, CD206) of BV2 cells. ELISA was used to detect the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in the culture medium. Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of JAK1/STAT6 pathway-related proteins. Results Upadacitinib increased the survival of BV2 cells after OGD/R (P<0.05), reduced the polarization of BV2 cells to M1 type (P<0.05). Upadacitinib significantly decreased the migration ability of BV2 cells induced by OGD/R (P<0.05), reduced the inflammatory factors secreted by BV2 cells induced by OGD/R: IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α (P<0.05). Upadacitinib increased the survival rate of co-cultured PC12 cells (P<0.05). Upadacitinib significantly inhibited the expression levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 proteins in BV2 cells activated by OGD/R induction (P<0.05). Conclusion Upadacitinib decreases polarization of BV2 induced by OGD/R to M1 type and reduces inflammation, which is related to JAK1/STAT6 pathway.

Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of atherosclerotic high-fat diet on body weight, blood glucose, blood lipid levels and atherosclerotic plaque formation in mice, and to determine the effect of fasting time on the results of blood lipid testing. Methods 10-week-old male ApoE knockout (ApoE-/-) mice were given high-fat diet and normal diet. The atherosclerotic plaques were observed four months later. 10 week old C57BL/6J male mice were given regular diet for 4 weeks, regular diet for 2 weeks + high-fat diet for two or four weeks. Body weight、liver、glucose, and the serum lipid levels were examined. The influence of fasting for 12 h, 6 h or no fasting on blood lipid detection results before sacrificing were studied. Results The atherosclerotic plaque area of ApoE-/- mice given high-fat diet increased significantly (P<0.01). C57BL/6J mice given high-fat diet gained weight (P<0.01). The glucose, TC, LDL-c and HDL-c were also increased in C57BL/6J mice with liver fat accumulation while the level of TG was significantly decreased(P<0.01). Compared with the fasting 12 h group, serum triglyceride (TG) was significantly increased (P<0.01）in fasting 6 h and no fasting groups. Conclusion The atherosclerotic high-fat diet can accelerate the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in ApoE-/- mice, significantly increase blood sugar, TC and LDL-c levels, but significantly reduce TG values.. The fasting time can affect serum triglyceride (TG) level.

Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) on the mortality of the lipopoly-saccharide (LPS)-induced endotoxic shock mouse model. Methods 10-week-old C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into groups, and were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) with LPS (10 mg/kg) to induce endotoxic shock models. NMN was i.p. injected in three ways: (1) 0.5 h after modeling, doses of 10, 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg; (2) 0.5 h before modeling, doses of 30, 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg; or (3) 0.5 and 12 h after modeling, dose of 300 mg/kg each time. The death times of each group were recorded, and the survival curves were drawn. Results Compared with the solvent control group, NMN at different doses given 0.5 h after or before modeling didn’t improve the survival rate or delay the death time of endotoxic shock mice; But when given at 0.5 and 12 h 300 mg/kg after modeling, NMN accelerated the death of mice and increased the mortality of mice. NMN products by two manufacturers showed similar effects. Conclusion NMN has no therapeutic effect on LPS-induced endotoxic shock, and repeated administration of NMN after endotoxic shock will increase the mortality.

Abstract:
Objective To investigate the role of vestibular organs on stress analgesia induced by rotation in mice. Methods Female mice were randomly divided into morphine group and rotation group. After 15 minutes of intraperitoneal injection of naloxone or normal saline, the hot plate latency of mice in each group was observed following morphine injection or rotation (250 r/min, 15 s on with 5 s off). After subcutaneous injecting morphine for 7 consecutive days, tolerance was formed and the hot plate latency in morphine-tolerant mice after rotation was observed. P-aminophenylarsonic acid was injected into the inner ear to damage the vestibular organs of the mice and the hot plate latency was observed in chemically labyrinthectomy mice. Results Compared with the normal saline group, the hot plate latency of mice in the naloxone group did not change significantly after rotation (P>0.05), and the hot plate latency decreased significantly after subcutaneous injection of morphine (P<0.05). The morphine-tolerant mice had no significant change in the hot plate latency after rotation compared with the normal saline group (P>0.05). After injection of p-aminophenylarsonic acid into the inner ear, the recovery time of the righting reflex in mice was significantly increased, and the swimming ability was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the hot plate latency of mice with chemical labyrinthectomy was significantly shortened after rotation (P<0.05). Conclusion Chemical labyrinthectomy completely blocked the rotation-induced stress analgesia in mice. Vestibular organs play an important role in rotation-induced stress analgesia, and this stress analgesia may be mediated by a non-opioid system.

Abstract:
Objective To find the effect of leonurine on LPS-induced macrophages activation and its potential mechanism. Methods Mouse primary peritoneal macrophages were isolated and pretreated for 24 h with LPS and leonurine. MTT assay was used to detect the cell viability of macrophages. The production of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-18 in culture medium were tested by ELISA, and the production of NO was detected by Griess reagent. The mRNA expression of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, TNF-α, iNOS, Arg-1 and CD206 were detected by RT-PCR, and the protein expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were detected by Western blotting. Results LPS can significantly increase the releases of NO、IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α and IL-18 from macrophages. Leonurine can suppress the expression of pro-inflammatory factor levels, such as IL-1β (P<0.05), IL-18 (P<0.05), NO(P<0.05), IL-6(P<0.05) and TNF-α (P<0.05). Leonurine can decrease the activation of macrophage as well as the expression of NLRP3 Inflammasome.Protein expressions of NLRP3、ASC、caspase-1 were mitigated. Conclution Leonurine exerts beneficial effects through M1/M2 phenotypic differentiation of peritoneal macrophage via inhibiting overactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings suggest that leonurine might have a therapeutic potential for pelvic inflammatory disease.
