Abstract
AIMS The treatment with the antibiotic rifampicin (Rif) led to a decrease in the frequency of neurodegenerative pathologies. There are suggestions that the mechanism of action of Rif may be mediated by its effect on toll-like receptor (TLR)4-dependent pathways. We evaluated the expression status of TLR4-dependent genes during abstinence from long-term alcohol treatments in the nucleus accumbens (NAc) of the rat brain, and also studied the effects of Rif to correct these changes. METHODS The long-term alcohol treatment was performed by intragastric delivery of ethanol solution. At the end of alcohol treatment intraperitoneal injections of Rif (100 mg/kg) or saline were made. Extraction of the brain structures was performed on the 10th day of abstinence from alcohol. We used the SYBR Green qPCR method to quantitatively analyze the relative expression levels of the studied genes. RESULTS The long-term alcohol treatment promotes an increase in the level of TLR4 mRNA and mRNA of its endogenous ligand high-mobility group protein B1 during abstinence drop alcohol in NAc of rats. The use of Rif in our study led to a decrease in the increased expression of high-mobility group protein B1, Tlr4, and proinflammatory cytokine genes (Il1β, Il6) in the NAc of the rat brain during abstinence of long-term alcohol treatment. In addition, Rif administration increased the decreased mRNA levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (Il10, Il11). CONCLUSION The data obtained indicate the ability of Rif to correct the mechanisms of the TLR4 system genes in the NAc of the rat brain during alcohol abstinence.

Abstract
Ethanol causes long-term changes in the toll-like receptor (TLR) system, promoting activation of neuroinflammation pathways. Alcohol use during pregnancy causes neuroinflammatory processes in the fetus; this can lead to the development of symptoms of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). Our study has shown that prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) induced long-term changes in the TLR system genes (Tlr3, Tlr4, Ticam, Hmgb1, cytokine genes) in the forebrain cortex of rat pups. Administration of rifampicin (Rif), which can reduce the level of pro-inflammatory mediators in various pathological conditions of the nervous system, normalized the altered expression level of the studied TLR system genes. This suggests that Rif can prevent the development of persistent neuroinflammatory events in the forebrain cortex of rat pups caused by dysregulation in the TLR system.

Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive loss of neurons, synapses, dendrites, and myelin in the central and/or peripheral nervous system. Actual therapeutic options for patients are scarce and merely palliative. Although they affect millions of patients worldwide, the molecular mechanisms underlying these conditions remain unclear. Mitochondrial dysfunction is generally found in neurodegenerative diseases and is believed to be involved in the pathomechanisms of these disorders. Therefore, therapies aiming to improve mitochondrial function are promising approaches for neurodegeneration. Although mitochondrial-targeted treatments are limited, new research findings have unraveled the therapeutic potential of several groups of antibiotics. These drugs possess pleiotropic effects beyond their anti-microbial activity, such as anti-inflammatory or mitochondrial enhancer function. In this review, we will discuss the controversial use of antibiotics as potential therapies in neurodegenerative diseases.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form when glucose reacts non-enzymatically with proteins, leading to abnormal protein function, oxidative stress, and inflammation. AGEs are associated with aging and age-related diseases; their formation is aggravated during diabetes. Therefore, drugs preventing AGE formation can potentially treat diabetic complications, positively affecting health. Earlier, we demonstrated that rifampicin and its analogs have potent anti-glycating activities and increase the life span of Caenorhabditis elegans. This study aimed to investigate the effects of rifampicin during hyperglycemia in C. elegans and in a mouse model of obesity-induced type 2 diabetes. The effects of rifampicin were assessed by determining the life span of C. elegans cultured in the presence of glucose and by measuring HbA1c, AGE levels, and glucose excursions in the diabetic mouse model. Our results show that rifampicin protects C. elegans from glucose-induced toxicity and increases life span. In mice, rifampicin reduces HbA1c and AGEs, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces indications of diabetic nephropathy without inducing hepatotoxicity. Rifampicin quinone, an analog with lower anti-microbial activity, also reduces HbA1c levels, improves glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity, and lowers indications of diabetic nephropathy, without adversely affecting the liver of the diabetic mice. Altogether, our results indicate that rifampicin and its analog have protective roles during diabetes without inflicting hepatic damage and may potentially be considered for repositioning to treat hyperglycemia-related complications in patients.

Abstract
Microglia, the primary immune cells of the brain, significantly influence the fate of neurons after neural damage. Depending on the local environment, they exhibit a wide range of phenotypes, including patrolling (naïve), proinflammatory, and anti-inflammatory characteristics, which greatly affects neurotoxicity. Despite the fact that neural progenitor cells (NPCs) and hippocampal neurons represent cell populations, which play pivotal role in neural regeneration, interaction between microglia and these cell types is poorly studied. In the present work, we investigated how microglial cells affect the proliferation and neurite outgrowth of human stem cell-derived NPCs, and how microglia stimulation with proinflammatory or anti-inflammatory agents modulates this interaction. We found that naïve microglia slightly diminish NPC proliferation and have no effect on neurite outgrowth. In contrast, proinflammatory stimulated microglia promote both proliferation and neurite generation, whereas microglia stimulated with anti-inflammatory cytokines augment neurite outgrowth leaving NPC proliferation unaffected. We also studied how microglia influence neurite development and differentiation of hippocampal dentate gyrus granule cells differentiated from NPCs. We found that proinflammatory stimulated microglia inhibit axonal development but facilitate dendrite generation in these differentiating neurons. Our results elucidate a fine-tuned modulatory effect of microglial cells on cell types crucial for neural regeneration, opening perspectives for novel regenerative therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Phikud Navakot (PN), a mixture of nine herbal plants, is an ancient Thai traditional medicine used for relieving circulatory disorders and dizziness. PN has also shown anti-inflammatory effects in rats with acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, phytochemical-inhibiting neuroinflammation, including gallic acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, and rutin were detected in PN extract; however, the anti-neuroinflammatory activity of PN extract and its components in a coculture system of microglia and neuronal cells is limited. OBJECTIVE To investigate the anti-neuroinflammatory activities of PN on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation in a coculture system of microglia and neuronal cells. METHODS ELISA and qRT-PCR were used to assess cytokine expression. The phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was determined by Western blotting. Microglia-mediated neuroinflammation was evaluated using a BV-2 microglia-N2a neuron transwell co-culture. RESULTS PN extract and its component, gallic acid, decreased LPS-induced the mRNA expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), as well as IL-6 protein levels in both microglial monoculture and coculture systems. This was accompanied by a reduction in neurodegeneration triggered by microglia in N2a neurons with increased neuronal integrity markers (βIII tubulin and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)). These effects were caused by the ability of PN extract to inhibit extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) activation. CONCLUSION This is the first study to show that PN extract inhibits neurodegeneration in LPS-activated BV-2 microglia by targeting ERK signaling activity.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an aging‐related neurodegenerative disease. The main pathological features of AD are β‐amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition and tau protein hyperphosphorylation. Currently, there are no effective drugs for the etiological treatment of AD. Rifampicin (RIF) is a semi‐synthetic broad‐spectrum antibiotic with anti‐β‐amyloid deposition, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐apoptosis, and neuroprotective effects, but its application in AD treatment has been limited for its strong hydrophobicity, high toxicity, short half‐life, low bioavailability, and blood–brain barrier hindrance. We designed a novel brain‐targeted and MRI‐characteristic nanomedicine via loading rabies virus protein 29 (RVG29), rifampicin, and Gd on poly (l‐lactide) nanoparticles (RIF@PLA‐PEG‐Gd/Mal‐RVG29). The cytotoxicity assay demonstrated that RIF@PLA‐PEG‐Gd/Mal‐RVG29 had favorable biocompatibility and security. Fluorescence imaging in vivo showed that PLA‐PEG‐Gd/Mal‐RVG29 could deliver rifampicin into the brain by enhancing cellular uptake and brain targeting performance, leading to improvement of the bioavailability of rifampicin. In in vivo study, RIF@PLA‐PEG‐Gd/Mal‐RVG29 improved the spatial learning and memory capability of APP/PS1 mice in the Morris water maze, as compared to rifampicin. Immunofluorescence, TEM, immunoblotting, and H&E staining revealed that RIF@PLA‐PEG‐Gd/Mal‐RVG29 reduced Aβ deposition in hippocampal and cortex of APP/PS1 mice, improved the damage of synaptic ultrastructure, increased the expression level of PSD95 and SYP, as well as reduced the necrosis of neurons. These findings suggest that RIF@PLA‐PEG‐Gd/Mal‐RVG29 may be an effective strategy for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Nucleus accumbens (NAc) is the ventral part of the striatum of the brain; it is an important part of the mesolimbic pathway involved in the reward system that mediates the formation of various forms of addiction, in particular alcohol addiction. Neuroimaging data and in vitro studies indicate the development of a pronounced neurodegenerative process in the NAc, with long-term alcohol use, but the key mechanisms mediating this process remain unknown. In recent years, the attention of researchers has been focused on studying the system of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), the increased activity of which is clearly shown in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus during prolonged alcohol exposure, but there is a need to study the role of this system in other brain structures. In this study, we have shown that prolonged alcohol exposure (2 months) with moderate doses of ethanol (2 g/kg) promotes a pronounced increase in the expression of the Tlr4 gene and its endogenous ligand Hmgb1 in NAc during the period of alcohol withdrawal in rats. Injections of rifampicin (100 mg/kg) reduced the elevated expression level of Hmgb1, Tlr4, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokine genes (IL1β, IL6), while the administration of the drug increased the reduced level of mRNA of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL10, IL11).

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the principal causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, is implicated in the progression of age-related neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), in which microglial activation is a crucial mediator. Sesamin, a kind of phytochemical, shows inhibitory effects on microglial activation. The present study studied whether sesamin protects against neurotoxicity triggered by high glucose-induced microglial activation. We firstly demonstrated that high doses of glucose, which mimics hyperglycemia in DM, did induce the activation of murine BV2 microglial cells, increasing inflammatory responses such as the production of ROS or inflammatory mediators like IL-1β, TNF-⍺, and nitric oxide, through activation of p38 and JNK signaling pathways. Next, conditioned medium (CM) collected from high glucose-activated BV2 cell culture was used to show aggravated neurotoxicity in differentiated PC12 cells, indicating that high glucose-activated microglia could induce neurotoxicity. Interestingly, pretreatment of BV2 cells with sesamin diminished high glucose-induced microglia activation and inflammatory responses. Moreover, neurotoxicity in PC12 cells was found to be decreased in the group treated with CM from the sesamin-pretreated BV2 cell culture, suggesting sesamin inhibited microglial activation, thereby protecting neurons from activated microglia-mediated neurotoxicity. Thus, sesamin might be a potential compound to use in the prevention of diabetic-induced NDDs.

Abstract
Microglia acts as a critical player in neuroinflammation and neuronal injury. Remifentanil (Rem) has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory activity in several types of diseases. However, the role of Rem in microglia-mediated neuroinflammation is unclear. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of Rem against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV2 microglial and PC12 cell induced by activated BV2 microglia. Cell proliferative ability was assessed with cell counting kit-8 assay and cellular morphology was observed. ELISA assay was used to measure the expressions of PGE2 and inflammatory factors. The contents of p-NF-KB p65, p-IKKα/β, and COX2 were evaluated with the aid of western blot. The levels of NO and iNOS were assessed with Griess assay, qRT-PCR, and western blot. In addition, Tunel assay and western blot were performed to assess cell apoptosis. The data revealed that Rem alleviated BV2 microglial morphological injury induced by LPS. Furthermore, Rem suppressed inflammatory releases, iNOS, NO and PGE2 stimulated by LPS in activated BV2 cells. Moreover, Rem suppressed PC12 cell injury, the generations of inflammatory factors and cell apoptosis triggered by inflammatory mediators secreted from activated BV2 cells. These results suggest that Rem exhibited anti-neuroinflammatory activity in protecting PC12 cells against injury derived from LPS-stimulated BV2 microglia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition. The metabolism of Aβ is critically affected by autophagy. Although rifampicin is known to mediate neuroinflammation, the underlying mechanism by which rifampicin regulates the cognitive sequelae remains unknown. OBJECTIVE Based on our previous findings that rifampicin possesses neuroprotective effects on improving cognitive function after neuroinflammation, we aimed to examine in this study whether rifampicin can inhibit Aβ accumulation by enhancing autophagy in a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cognitive impairment. METHODS Adult C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with rifampicin, chloroquine, and/or LPS every day for 7 days. Pathological and biochemical assays and behavioral tests were performed to determine the therapeutic effect and mechanism of rifampicin on the hippocampus of LPS-induced mice. RESULTS We found that rifampicin ameliorated cognitive impairments in the LPS-induced mice. In addition, rifampicin attenuated the inhibition of autophagosome formation, suppressed the accumulation of Aβ1-42, and protected the hippocampal neurons against LPS-induced damage. Our results further demonstrated that rifampicin improved the neurological function by promoting autophagy through the inhibition of Akt/mTOR/p70S6K signaling pathway in the hippocampus of LPS-induced mice. CONCLUSION Rifampicin ameliorates cognitive impairment by suppression of Aβ1-42 accumulation through inhibition of Akt/mTOR/p70S6K signaling and enhancement of autophagy in the hippocampus of LPS-induced mice.

Abstract
SIRT1 exhibits inhibitory effects on microglial activation-induced neurodegeneration. Regulating SIRT1 may become a novel approach for curing neurodegenerative diseases. Protocatechuic acid (PA), a phenolic acid, has anti-neuroinflammatory effects. The effect of PA on SIRT1 in activated microglia remains unknown. Here, we examined whether PA has anti-inflammatory effects against microglial activation-induced neuronal cell death via regulating SIRT1 in microglia. We found that PA inhibited the release of inflammatory mediators in LPS-activated BV2 microglia via the SIRT1/NF-κB pathway and thereby attenuated microglial activation-induced PC12 cell apoptosis. This suggests that SIRT1 mediates the anti-neuroinflammatory effects of PA to ameliorate microglial activation-induced neuron death.

Abstract
Abstract
Despite the great progress made in neonatal and perinatal medicine over the last couple of decades, sepsis remains one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality. Sepsis in pediatric population was defined at the Pediatric Sepsis Consensus Conference in 2005. There is still no consensus on the definition of neonatal sepsis. Neonatal sepsis is a sepsis that occurs in the neonatal period. According to the time of occurrence, neonatal sepsis can be of early onset, when it occurs within the first 72 hours of birth and results from vertical transmission, and of late onset, in which the source of infection is found most often in the environment and occurs after the third day of life. The most common causes of early-onset sepsis are Group B Streptococcus (GBS) and E. coli. Risk factors can be mother-related and newborn-related. Clinical symptoms and signs of sepsis are quite unspecific. The dysfunction of different organs may imitate sepsis. On the other hand, infectious and non-infectious factors may exist simultaneously. The start of the antimicrobial therapy in any newborn with suspected sepsis should not be delayed. Pentoxifylline may have potential benefits in preterm newborns with sepsis. The only proven intervention that has been shown to reduce the risk of early-onset neonatal sepsis is intrapartum intravenous antibiotic administration to prevent GBS infection. It is still a great challenge to discontinue antibiotic treatment in non-infected newborns as soon as possible, because any extended antibiotic use may later be associated with other pathological conditions.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This article reviews the relationship of the microbiome, the gut-brain axis, and depression. It also will review factors which can influence this relationship, such as chronic stress, medications, and the Western diet typically consumed by adolescents. RECENT FINDINGS Changes in the gut microbiome increase the release of microbial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) which activate a gut inflammatory response. Gut pro-inflammatory cytokines stimulate the afferent vagal nerve which in turn impacts the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis inducing symptoms associated with depression. Recent research suggests that gut inflammation can induce neuroinflammation which, in turn, stimulates microglia activation and the kynurenine pathway and can activate systemic inflammation-inducing depressive symptoms. Promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle changes, limiting exposure to pesticides, limiting medications that affect the microbiome and the use of such things pre/probiotics and other interventions may complement existing efforts to curb the rise in depression. Alternative and complementary therapies may serve as effective treatments in adolescents with depression.

Abstract
: Aggregated forms of the synaptic protein α-synuclein (αS) have been proposed to operate as a molecular trigger for microglial inflammatory processes and neurodegeneration in Parkinson´s disease. Here, we used brain microglial cell cultures activated by fibrillary forms of recombinant human αS to assess the anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective activities of the antibiotic rifampicin (Rif) and its autoxidation product rifampicin quinone (RifQ). Pretreatments with Rif and RifQ reduced the secretion of prototypical inflammatory cytokines (TNF-, IL-6) and the burst of oxidative stress in microglial cells activated with αS fibrillary aggregates. Note, however, that RifQ was constantly more efficacious than its parent compound in reducing microglial activation. We also established that the suppressive effects of Rif and RifQ on cytokine release was probably due to inhibition of both PI3K- and non-PI3K-dependent signaling events. The control of oxidative stress appeared, however, essentially dependent on PI3K inhibition. Of interest, we also showed that RifQ was more efficient than Rif in protecting neuronal cells from toxic factors secreted by microglia activated by αS fibrils. Overall, data with RifQ are promising enough to justify further studies to confirm the potential of this compound as an anti-parkinsionian drug.

Abstract
The aim of the current study was to investigate the regulatory effect of miR-146a on the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4)/NF-κB pathway and therefore inflammation in septic cardiomyopathy. A total of 60 healthy male Sprague Dawley rats were equally divided into a control, LPS, miR-146a agonist and miR-146a inhibitor group. Blood samples were collected from rats 24 h after intraperitoneal lipopolysaccharide injection and myocardial tissues were subsequently collected. After hematoxylin and eosin staining of rat myocardial tissues, the degree of inflammatory cell infiltration and myocardial damage was observed. The content of certain myocardial injury markers were also observed, including cardiac troponin I (cTnI), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), creatine kinase myocardial bound (CK-MB) and myoglobin (Mb). Western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of NF-κB/TLR-4, tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) in myocardial tissues. Reverse transcription-quantitative (RT-q) PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-146a, TNF-α, interleukin (IL)-1α and IL-1β mRNA in myocardial tissues. In the LPS group, myocardial interstitial tissue edema occurred, with enlarged and loosely arranged cardiomyocytes. Compared with the sepsis model group, myocardial interstitial tissue edema was relieved in the miR-146a agonist group, but was aggravated in the miR-146a inhibition group. The serum levels of cTnI, BNP, CK-MB, Mb, NF-κB, TLR-4, TNF-α and ICAM-1 in the sepsis model group were higher than those in the control group. In the miR-146a agonist group, levels of myocardial injury markers were lower than those in the sepsis model group, but were higher in the miR-146a inhibition group. The results of RT-qPCR demonstrated that the expression of miR-146a, TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-1β in the sepsis model group were upregulated compared with the control group. In addition, miR-146a expression in the miR-146a agonist group and the miR-146a inhibition group was increased, but TNF-α, IL-1α and IL-1β mRNA was downregulated. miR-146a may regulate the TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathway via negative feedback mechanisms, leading to the improvement of the inflammatory response and cardiac dysfunction in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by selective loss of dopamine neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the midbrain. Reports from postmortem studies in the human PD brain, and experimental PD models reveal that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of PD. In times of stress, the unfolded or misfolded proteins overload the folding capacity of the ER to induce a condition generally known as ER stress. During ER stress, cells activate the unfolded protein response (UPR) to handle increasing amounts of abnormal proteins, and recent evidence has demonstrated the activation of the ER chaperone GRP78/BiP (78 kDa glucose-regulated protein/binding immunoglobulin protein), which is important for proper folding of newly synthesized and partly folded proteins to maintain protein homeostasis. Although the activation of this protein is essential for the initiation of the UPR in PD, there are inconsistent reports on its expression in various PD models. Consequently, this review article aims to summarize current knowledge on neuroprotective agents targeting the expression of GRP78/BiP in the regulation of ER stress in experimental PD models.

Abstract
Neuroinflammation has been well recognized as a key pathological event in acute glaucoma. The medical therapy of acute glaucoma mainly focuses on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP), while there are still scarce anti-inflammatory agents in the clinical treatment of acute glaucoma. Here we reported that β,3α,5α-trihydroxy-androst-6-one (sterone), a novel synthetic polyhydric steroid, blocked neuroinflammation mediated by microglia/macrophages and alleviated the loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) caused by acute intraocular hypertension (AIH). The results showed that sterone significantly inhibited the morphological changes, the up-regulation of inflammatory biomarker ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba-1), and the mRNA increase of proinflammatory tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in BV2 microglia and RAW264.7 macrophages. Moreover, immunofluorescence and western blotting analysis revealed that sterone markedly abrogated the nuclear translocation and phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 subunit. Furthermore, sterone significantly suppressed the inflammatory microglial activation and RGCs’ reduction caused by retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in a rat AIH model. These results suggest sterone may be a potential candidate in the treatment of acute glaucoma caused by microglial activation-mediated neuroinflammatory injury.

Abstract
Background Microglial inflammatory activation is the common feature of the central nervous system (CNS) diseases. Microglia can be activated and particularly polarized toward a dual role in the injured CNS. The CD200 receptor 1 (CD200R1) inhibits inflammatory microglia activation as illustrated by studies. Publications show abnormal activation of microglia secondary to the deficient inhibit of CD200-CD200R interaction. In the present study, we established a neuronal-microglia co-culture system to investigate the association between CD200R1 engagement and classical microglial activation. We analyzed the glycosylation of CD200R1 and the CD200 binding. Secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured. Results CD200R1 was N-glycosylated at Asparagine 44 (Asn44, N44). Mutation of this site disrupted CD200-CD200R1 interaction and up-regulated the expression of cytokines iNOS, CD86, IL-1β and TNF-α. Conclusion N44 of CD200R1 is a significant binding site for CD200-CD200R1 interaction and play a critical role in the maintenance of microglia. The N-glycosylation of CD200R1 could serve as a therapeutic agent for CNS inflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dangguishaoyao-San (DSS) is composed of six traditional Chinese medicines, including Angelica sinensis, Paeoniae radix, Rhizoma Ligusticum, Poria cocos, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and Rhizoma Alismatis. DSS has been reported to be effective in alleviating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of action of DSS in vitro using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated BV-2 microglia cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS BV-2 cells were pretreated with 0.58-1.16 mg/mL of DSS for 2 h and then treated with 1 μg/mL LPS for 24 h. Cell viability was determined by an 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The protein expression levels were measured by Western blots. Inflammatory factors were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). The mRNA levels of inflammatory factors were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). RESULTS DSS treatment at concentrations of 0.58-1.16 mg/mL resulted in no significant cytotoxicity. DSS attenuated the release of pro-inflammatory factors, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), iNOS and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in LPS-induced BV-2 cells. DSS attenuated the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, TLR2, and TLR4 and decreased TLR4 and TLR protein levels as well as the phosphorylation of IκB in LPS-induced BV-2 cells. DSS also down-regulated the nuclear translocation of p65. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that DSS has a protective effect on neuroinflammation in LPS-induced BV-2 microglia cells through the TLRs/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Abstract
Despite continued advances in neonatal medicine, sepsis remains a leading cause of death worldwide in neonatal intensive care units. The clinical presentation of sepsis in neonates varies markedly from that in older children and adults, and distinct acute inflammatory responses results in age-specific inflammatory and protective immune response to infection. This review first provides an overview of the neonatal immune system, then covers current mainstream, and experimental preventive and adjuvant therapies in neonatal sepsis. We also discuss how the distinct physiology of the perinatal period shapes early life immune responses and review strategies to reduce neonatal sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. A summary of studies that characterize immune ontogeny and neonatal sepsis is presented, followed by discussion of clinical trials assessing interventions such as breast milk, lactoferrin, probiotics, and pentoxifylline. Finally, we critically appraise future treatment options such as stem cell therapy, other antimicrobial protein and peptides, and targeting of pattern recognition receptors in an effort to prevent and/or treat sepsis in this highly vulnerable neonatal population.

Abstract
PYNOD, a nod-like receptors (NLR)-like protein, was indicated to inhibit NF-κB activation, caspase-1-mediated interleukin (IL)-1β release and cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Exogenous addition of recombinant PYNOD to mixed glial cultures may suppress caspase-1 activation and IL-1β secretion induced by Aβ. However, to the best of our knowledge, there no study has focused on the immunoregulatory effects of PYNOD specifically in microglia. The present study aimed to explore the roles of PYNOD involved in the lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-induced microglial inflammation and consequent neurotoxicity. Murine microglial BV-2 cells were transfected with pEGFP-C2-PYNOD (0–5.0 µg/ml) for 24 h and incubated with or without LPS (1 µg/ml) for a further 24 h. Cell viability was determined using MTT assay and the secretion of nitric oxide (NO), IL-1β and caspase-1 was measured using the Griess method or ELISA. Protein expression levels of NF-κB p65 and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were detected by immunofluorescent staining and/or western blot analysis. Co-culture of BV-2 cells with human neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-SH was performed in Transwell plates and the cell viability and apoptosis (using flow cytometry) of SK-N-SH cells were determined. Results indicated that PYNOD overexpression inhibited NO secretion and iNOS protein expression induced by LPS in BV-2 cells, with no detectable cytotoxicity. PYNOD overexpression also reduced the secretion of IL-1β and caspase-1 from BV-2 cells upon LPS stimulation. These effects were dose-dependent. Additionally, PYNOD overexpression prevented LPS-induced nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 in BV-2 cells. The growth-inhibitory and apoptosis-promoting effects of BV-2 cells towards SK-N-SH cells were alleviated as a result of PYNOD overexpression. In conclusion, PYNOD may mitigate microglial inflammation and consequent neurotoxicity.

Abstract
Mitochondrial and autophagic dysfunction, as well as neuroinflammation, are associated with the pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease (PD). Rotenone, an inhibitor of mitochondrial complex I, has been associated as an environmental neurotoxin related to PD. Our previous studies reported that rifampicin inhibited microglia activation and production of proinflammatory mediators induced by rotenone, but the precise mechanism has not been completely elucidated. BV2 cells were pretreated for 2h with rifampicin followed by 0.1μM rotenone, alone or in combination with chloroquine. Here, we demonstrate that rifampicin pretreatment alleviated rotenone induced release of IL-1β and IL-6, and its effects were suppressed when autophagy was inhibited by chloroquine. Moreover, preconditioning with 50μM rifampicin significantly increased viability of SH-SY5Y cells cocultured with rotenone-treated BV2 cells in the transwell coculture system. Chloroquine partially abolished the neuroprotective effects of rifampicin pretreatment. Rifampicin pretreatment significantly reversed rotenone-induced mitochondrial membrane potential reduction and reactive oxygen species accumulation. We suggest that the mechanism for rifampicin-mediated anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects is the enhancement of autophagy. Indeed, the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I in rifampicin-pretreated BV2 cells was significantly higher than that in cells without pretreatment. Fluorescence and electron microscopy analyses indicate an increase of lysosomes colocalized with mitochondria in cells pretreated with rifampicin, which confirms that the damaged mitochondria were cleared through autophagy (mitophagy). Taken together, the data provide further evidence that rifampicin exerts neuroprotection against rotenone-induced microglia inflammation, partially through the autophagy pathway. Modulation of autophagy by rifampicin is a novel therapeutic strategy for PD.

Abstract
Activated microglia secrete an array of pro-inflammatory factors, such as prostaglandins, whose accumulation contributes to neuronal damages. Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases or cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2), which play a critical role in the inflammation, are the pharmacological targets of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, used to treat pain and inflammation. Since it was reported that COX-1 is the major player in mediating the brain inflammatory response, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of highly selective COX-1 inhibitors, such as P6 and mofezolac, in neuroinflammation models. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse BV-2 microglial cells and LPS intracerebroventricular-injected mice as in vitro and in vivo neuroinflammation models, respectively, were used to probe the antiinflammatory efficacy of P6 and mofezolac. Both P6 and mofezolac reduce COX-1 expression in LPS-activated BV-2 cells. This reduction was accompanied with PGE2 release reduction and NF-kB activation downregulation. Coextensively, in the in vivo model, both glial fibrillary acidic protein and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule-1 expression, two markers of inflammation, were reduced by mofezolac to a rank depending on the encephalon area analyzed. The increase of COX-1 expression observed in all the brain sections of LPS-treated mice was selectively downregulated by the in vivo treatment with mofezolac as well as PGE2 release and Ikβα phosphorylation amount assayed in the brain areas tested. These results indicate the capability of P6 and mofezolac to modulate the NF-kB signaling pathway, emphasizing the neuroprotective effect and therapeutic potential of COX-1 inhibitors in the control of neuroinflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Microglia-mediated inflammation is an important step in the progression of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and the associated production of receptors of immunomoudulation, including Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Peroxiredoxin 6 (Prdx6) has been demonstrated as the endogenous antioxidant protein for its peroxidase properties. However, the role of the independent phospholipase A2 (iPLA2) activity of Prdx6 in stroke has not been well studied. In this study, we evaluated whether blocking the calcium-iPLA2 activity of Prdx6 using siRNA and inhibitors (1-hexadecyl-3-(trifluoroethgl)-sn-glycerol-2 phosphomethanol, MJ33) would have a critical effect on inflammatory brain damage. We conducted oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)/recovery (R) in vitro and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in vivo in a microglia/neuron co-culture system and in rats. In vitro, we found that Prdx6-iPLA2 activity was associated with the secretion of neurotoxic inflammatory mediators interleukin1β (IL-1β), interleukin-17 (IL-17) and interleukin-23 (IL-23) and elevated expression of Toll-like receptor 2/4 (TLR2/4), leading to the formation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in microglial cells. In vivo, combined treatment with Prdx6-iPLA2 activity inhibitor MJ33 showed a greater diminution in neurologic deficits, cerebral infarction, brain water content and inflammatory molecules than Prdx6-siRNA treatment alone. Our findings provide new insight into Prdx6-iPLA2 function in the brain. Inhibition of Prdx6-iPLA2 activity by gene therapy and/or pharmacology may constitute a promising new therapeutic approach to the treatment of stroke.

Abstract
Wear particles liberated from the surface of prostheses are considered to be main reason for osteoclast bone resorption and that extensive osteoclastogenesis leads to peri-implant osteolysis and subsequent prosthetic loosening. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of rifampin on osteoclastogenesis and titanium (Ti) particle-induced osteolysis. The Ti particle-induced osteolysis mouse calvarial model and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) were used. Rifampin, at dose of 10 or 50 mg/kg/day, was respectively given intraperitoneally for 14 days in vivo. The calvariae were removed and processed for Further histological analysis. In vitro, osteoclasts were generated from mouse BMMs with receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) and the macrophage colony stimulating factor. Rifampin at different concentrations was added to the medium. The cell viability, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, TRAP activity and resorption on bone slices were analysis. Osteoclast-specific genes and RANKL-induced MAPKs signaling were tested for further study of the mechanism. Rifampin inhibited Ti-induced osteolysis and osteoclastogenesis in vivo. In vitro data indicated that rifampin suppressed osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, rifampin significantly reduced the expression of osteoclast-specific markers, including TRAP, cathepsin K, V-ATPase d2, V-ATPase a3, c-Fos, and nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) c1. Further investigation revealed that rifampin inhibited osteoclast formation by specifically abrogating RANKL-induced p38 and NF-κB signaling. Rifampin had significant potential for the treatment of particle-induced peri-implant osteolysis and other diseases caused by excessive osteoclast formation and function.

Abstract
Innate-like B lymphocytes play an important role in innate immunity in periodontal disease through Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling. However, it is unknown how innate-like B cell apoptosis is affected by the periodontal infection-associated innate signals. This study is to determine the effects of two major TLR ligands, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN), on innate-like B cell apoptosis. Spleen B cells were isolated from wild type (WT), TLR2 knockout (KO) and TLR4 KO mice and cultured with E. coli LPS alone, P. gingivalis LPS alone, or combined with CpG-ODN for 2 days. B cell apoptosis and expressions of specific apoptosis-related genes were analyzed by flow cytometry and real-time PCR respectively. P. gingivalis LPS, but not E. coli LPS, reduced the percentage of AnnexinV+/7-AAD- cells within IgMhighCD23lowCD43-CD93- marginal zone (MZ) B cell sub-population and IgMhighCD23lowCD43+CD93+ innate response activator (IRA) B cell sub-population in WT but not TLR2KO or TLR4KO mice. CpG-ODN combined with P. gingivalis LPS further reduced the percentage of AnnexinV+/7-AAD- cells within MZ B cells and IRA B cells in WT but not TLR2 KO or TLR4 KO mice. Pro-apoptotic CASP4, CASP9 and Dapk1 were significantly down-regulated in P. gingivalis LPS- and CpG-ODN-treated B cells from WT but not TLR2 KO or TLR4 KO mice. Anti-apoptotic IL-10 was significantly up-regulated in P. gingivalis LPS- and CpG-ODN-treated B cells from WT and TLR2 KO but not TLR4 KO mice. These results suggested that both TLR2 and TLR4 signaling are required for P. gingivalis LPS-induced, CpG-ODN-enhanced suppression of innate-like B cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Alginate from marine brown algae has been widely applied in biotechnology. In this work, the effects of alginate-derived oligosaccharide (AdO) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/β-amyloid (Aβ)-induced neuroinflammation and microglial phagocytosis of Aβ were studied. We found that pretreatment of BV2 microglia with AdO prior to LPS/Aβ stimulation led to a significant inhibition of production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. We further demonstrated that AdO remarkably attenuated the LPS-activated overexpression of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and nuclear factor (NF)-κB in BV2 cells. In addition to the impressive inhibitory effect on neuroinflammation, we also found that AdO promoted the phagocytosis of Aβ through its interaction with TLR4 in microglia. Our results suggested that AdO exerted the inhibitory effect on neuroinflammation and the promotion effect on microglial phagocytosis, indicating its potential as a nutraceutical or therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Rifampicin attenuates rotenone-induced inflammation via suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation in microglia. Brain Res 2015; 1622:43-50. [PMID: 26086368 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2015.06.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2015] [Revised: 06/06/2015] [Accepted: 06/08/2015] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
A growing body of evidence has supported that environmental factors, such as exposure to heavy metal and pesticides, play an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson׳s disease (PD). Rotenone, the active ingredient in various pesticides, has been identified as an inducer of PD. It has been revealed that rotenone induces activation of microglia and generation of pro-inflammatory factors in PD. Our previous studies demonstrated that rifampicin possessed neural protective effect in PD. In this study, we aimed to study the effect of rifampicin on the inflammation induced by rotenone in microglia and the underlying mechanisms. Results demonstrated that rifampicin pretreatment significantly reduced rotenone-induced cytotoxicity and gene expression of IL-1β in BV2 microglia. Moreover, western blot analysis verified that rifampicin pretreatment suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation via inhibiting caspase-1 cleavage and protein expression of NLRP3. As it is indicated that reactive oxidative stress (ROS) is one of the activators for NLRP3 inflammasome, we further employed 2',7'-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) staining and Rhodamine123 staining to detect intracellular ROS and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), respectively. Results confirmed that rifampicin obviously reduced intracellular ROS and reversed loss of MMP in BV2 cells treated by rotenone. Taken together, our data indicate that rifampicin pretreatment inhibits maturation of IL-1β and neuroinflammation induced by rotenone via attenuating NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Rifampicin might emerge as a promising candidate for modulating neuroinflammation in PD.
