This investigation aimed to elucidate whether kurarinone could ameliorate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pneumonia and explore the underlying mechanism. C57BL/6 mice were treated with LPS (50 μg/20 μL) to establish pneumonia models. Kurarinone (100 mg/kg) or dexamethasone (DEX, 5 mg/kg) was administered for 7 days before LPS inhalation. BEAS-2B cells were incubated with kurarinone at 1, 2, and 5 μM for 2 h before LPS stimulation for 24 h.

Kurarinone decreased MPO activity (47.6%, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) and alleviated the inflammatory response by reducing the levels of IL-1β (34.9%, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), TNF-α (55.1%, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001), and IL-6 (36.2%, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.001) in the lung.

Overall, kurarinone alleviates LPS-induced pneumonia in mice by reducing inflammation via MAPK and NF-κB pathways, suggesting that kurarinone might be a potential therapeutic agent for pneumonia.

Data for all patients who underwent hemodialysis treatment with tunneled catheters at our center between January 2014 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

The BTLA and its ligand herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM) interaction transmits inhibitory signals that suppress the biological activity of T cells, B cells, and DCs. In addition, BTLA–HVEM can affect the induction of Treg cells, further suggesting its important role in immune regulation.
