Due to its complex pathogenesis, there are still many challenges in its treatment. In our previous studies, we found that quercetin can alleviate neurological dysfunction after hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury (HIBI) in neonatal mice. As demonstrated through in vitro experiments, quercetin can inhibit the activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway and the inflammatory response in the microglial cell line BV2 after oxygen-glucose deprivation. However, the in-depth mechanism still needs to be further elucidated. In the present study, 7 day-old neonatal ICR mice or BV2 cells were treated with quercetin with or without the SIRT1 inhibitor EX527 via neurobehavioural, histopathological and molecular methods. In vivo experiments have shown that quercetin can significantly improve the performance of HI mice in behavioural tests, such as the Morris water maze, rotarod test and pole climbing test, and reduce HI insult-induced structural brain damage, cell apoptosis and hippocampal neuron loss. Quercetin also inhibited the immunofluorescence intensity of the microglial M1 marker CD16 + 32 and significantly downregulated the expression of the M1-related proteins iNOS, IL-1β and TNF-α. Moreover, quercetin increased the immunofluorescence intensity of the microglial M2 marker CD206 and significantly increased the expression of the M2-related proteins Arg-1 and IL-10. In addition, quercetin limits the nucleocytoplasmic translocation and release of microglial HMGB1 and further suppresses the activation of the downstream TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signalling pathway. The above effects of quercetin are partially weakened by pretreatment with EX527. Similar results were found in in vitro experiments, and the mechanism further revealed that the rebalancing effect of quercetin on microglial polarization is achieved through the SIRT1-mediated reduction in HMGB1 acetylation levels. This study provides new and complementary insights into the neuroprotective effects of quercetin and a new direction for the treatment of neonatal HIE.</p>","PeriodicalId":13551,"journal":{"name":"Inflammopharmacology","volume":" ","pages":"865-883"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142675735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brown propolis has several biological properties, including immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Thus, the present study evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of the crude extract of brown propolis from Araucaria sp. through experimental models of analgesia, anti-inflammatory activity, and rheumatoid arthritis. Hyperalgesia was evaluated by mechanical and thermal sensitivity. Anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by plantar volume, cell migration and NF-kB expression in carrageenan-induced paw oedema. In collagen-induced rheumatoid arthritis, it was evaluated by mechanical and thermal nociception on the plantar surface, and mechanical nociception in the femorotibial and caudal joints, evaluation of plantar volume, radiography, weight gain and biochemical profile. The results demonstrated that the oral administration of brown propolis can modulate the course of rheumatoid arthritis, and it can inhibit pain through the modulation of mechanical sensitivity. The anti-arthritic effect of propolis may be due to its anti-inflammatory capacity, which includes inhibiting oedema formation, cell migration, and NF-kB expression, as well as preserving joint space and normalizing urea levels.

In Alzheimer's disease (AD), emerging evidence suggests a significant involvement of HIF-1α in disease pathogenesis. AD is characterized by the accumulation of amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), leading to neuronal dysfunction and cognitive decline. HIF-1α is implicated in AD through its multifaceted roles in various cellular processes. Firstly, in response to hypoxia, HIF-1α promotes the expression of genes involved in angiogenesis, which is crucial for maintaining cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain. However, in the context of AD, dysregulated HIF-1α activation may exacerbate cerebral hypoperfusion, contributing to neuronal damage. Moreover, HIF-1α is implicated in the regulation of Aβ metabolism. It can influence the production and clearance of Aβ peptides, potentially modulating their accumulation and toxicity in the brain. Additionally, HIF-1α activation has been linked to neuroinflammation, a key feature of AD pathology. It can promote the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and exacerbate neuronal damage. Furthermore, HIF-1α may play a role in synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival, which are impaired in AD. Dysregulated HIF-1α signaling could disrupt these processes, contributing to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration. Overall, the involvement of HIF-1α in various aspects of AD pathophysiology highlights its potential as a therapeutic target.
