MethodsThe rat's trigeminal neuralgia model was constructed by infraorbital injection of Talci Pulvis, and the rats were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, carbamazepine group (60 mg·kg-1), Cranial Painkiller granules group (2.70 g·kg-1), and low, medium, and high dosage groups of Cranial Painkiller pills' extract powder (1.35, 2.70, 5.40 g·kg-1) according to the basal mechanical pain thresholds, and there were 10 rats in each group. The drug was administered by gavage to each group 2 h after modeling, and distilled water was given by gavage to the normal and model groups under the same conditions once a day for 10 d. Von Frey brushes were used to measure mechanical pain thresholds in rats. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to detect pathological changes in the trigeminal ganglion, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the inflammatory factors interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in rat serum, as well as neuropeptide substance P (SP) and β-endorphin (β-EP) levels in rat brain tissue. Western blot technique was used to detect the levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, and OTULIN proteins in rat brain tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the pain threshold of rats in the model group showed a continuous significant decrease (P<0.01). The pathological damage of brain tissue was significant (P<0.01), and the inflammatory levels of IL-1, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in serum were significantly elevated (P<0.01).

ObjectiveTo elucidate the active compounds for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Paeoniae Radix Alba from structure-activity omics. MethodOn the basis of the previous in vitro efficacy study by our research group, a mouse model of foot swelling was induced by methyl aldehyde and used to study the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of total glycosides of Paeoniae Radix Alba in vivo. The core targets of the active compounds for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Paeoniae Radix Alba were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP), Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), and Search Tool for Recurring Instances of Neighbouring Genes (STRING). Molecular docking was conducted for the total glucosides of Paeoniae Radix Alba with the core targets, and the key core targets with high binding affinity were screened out according to the comprehensive score of each target and active structure. The structure-activity relationship was analyzed with targets as a bridge through the combination of compound structures and pharmacological effects. ResultThe total glucosides of Paeoniae Radix Alba had good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects in vivo. The core targets of 23 active components of Paeoniae Radix Alba were epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), cellular tumor antigen p53 (TP53), and proto-oncogene transcription factor (JUN). According to the structure of the parent nucleus, there were 16 pinane monoterpene glycosides, 4 pinene monoterpene glycosides, 2 monoterpene lactone glycosides, and 1 monoterpene ketone. The key core targets screened out by molecular docking were EGFR and STAT3. The structure-activity analysis of the active compound structures and the key core targets showed that the introduction of ketone group and benzene ring group on the parent nucleus affected the binding activity. ConclusionThis study analyzed the material basis for the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of total glycosides of Paeoniae Radix Alba from structure-activity omics, providing new ideas and methods for revealing the pharmacodynamic substances in traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective To investigate the effect of exposure to lead oxide nanoparticles (PbO NPs) on the polarization of microglia in mouse hippocampus. Methods i) Specific pathogen-free male C57 mice were randomly divided into control group, low-, medium- and high-dose groups, with 10 mice in each group. Mice in these three dose groups were intraperitoneally injected with PbO NPs suspension at doses of 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg per day, respectively, and mice in the control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution, five days per week for four weeks. ii) BV-2 cells were treated with PbO NPs at doses of 0.0, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 mg/L for 24 hours. iii) BV-2 cells were randomly divided into control group, PbO NPs group and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) high expression + PbO NPs group. The cells in the control group received no treatment. The cells in PbO NPs group were exposed to 10.0 mg/L PbO NPs suspension for 24 hours. Cells in TREM2 high expression + PbO NPs group were transfected with Trem2 high expression plasmid, and then exposed to 10.0 mg/L PbO NPs suspension for 24 hours. iv) The mRNA expression of M1 markers [nitric oxide synthase (iNos), cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox2), chemokine receptor 7 (Ccr7)], M2 markers [arginin-1 (Arg-1), transforming growth factor-β (Tgf-β), chemokine receptor 2 (Ccr2)] and Trem2 of microglia was detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The protein expression of iNOS, ARG-1 and TREM2 was detected by Western blotting. Results i) During the experiment, there was no significant difference in body weight of mice among these four groups (P>0.05). The relative expression of Cox2 and Ccr7 mRNA in the hippocampus of the mice increased in the low-dose group and the iNos, Cox2 and Ccr7 mRNA increased in the medium- and high-dose groups, compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The relative mRNA expression of Tgf-β in the hippocampus of the mice of low-dose group and Arg-1, Tgf-β and Ccr2 in the medium- and high-dose groups was decreased compared with the control group (all P<0.05). The mRNA relative expression of iNos, Cox2 and Ccr7 was increased (all P<0.05), while the mRNA relative expression of Arg-1, Tgf-β and Ccr2 was decreased (all P<0.05) in the hippocampus of the mice of high-dose group compared with the low-dose group. The relative expression of Trem2 mRNA and TREM2 protein in the hippocampus of mice of the medium- and high-dose groups was lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The relative expression of Trem2 mRNA and TREM2 protein in the hippocampus of mice of the high dose group was lower than those in the low- and the medium-dose groups (all P<0.05). With the increase of PbO NPs exposure dose, the relative expression of iNOS protein in hippocampus tissues of mice increased (P<0.01), and the relative expression of ARG-1 protein decreased (P<0.01). ii) With the increase of PbO NPs exposure dose, the relative expression of iNOS protein increased (P<0.01), and the relative expression of ARG-1 protein decreased (P<0.01) in BV-2 cells. The relative expression of iNOS protein in BV-2 cells of PbO NPs group and TREM2 high expression + PbO NPs group was increased (all P<0.05), and the relative expression of ARG-1 protein decreased (all P<0.05) compared with the control group. The relative expression of iNOS protein decreased (P<0.05), and the relative expression of ARG-1 protein increased (P<0.05) in BV-2 cells of TREM2 high expression + PbO NPs group compared with the PbO NPs group. Conclusion Exposure to PbO NPs could increase the M1 polarization and decrease the M2 polarization of microglia, with a dose-effect relationship. The M1 polarization of microglia decreased and M2 polarization increased after overexpression of Trem2 gene. The regulation of microglia polarization by TREM2 may be involved in the neurotoxic effects of PbO NPs.

Objective:To investigate the effect of nano lead oxide (nano-PbO) exposure on learning and memory as well as spatial exploration ability in the mice, and the role of leukocyte infiltration of brain tissue in neurobehavioral damage caused by nano-PbO exposure.Methods:A total of 60 male SPF grade Kunming mice were divided into control group, low-dose nano-PbO group, medium-dose nano-PbO group and high-dose nano-PbO group according to body mass matching method, with 15 mice in each group.Mice in low, medium and high dose groups of nano-PbO were intraperitoneally injected with 5 mg·kg -1, 10 mg·kg -1, 20 mg·kg -1 nano-PbO, respectively. And mice in the control group were intraperitoneally injected with the same volume of 0.9% normal saline.The frequency of intervention was once a day for 28 days.Morris water maze test and open field test were used to detect the ability of learning and memory and spatial exploration of mice. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in hippocampus of mice, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in mouse microvessels and lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LAF-1) in mouse blood leukocyte. The proportion of leukocytes in mouse brain was detected by flow cytometry. All statistical analyses were performed by SPSS 20.0. Morris water maze data were analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA, the other data among multiple groups were compared by one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's test was used for further pairwise comparison.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlation between neurobehavioral indexes and the proportion of white blood cells, TNF-α and IL-1β in brain tissue. Results:Morris water maze results showed that the escape latency of the four groups of mice had a significant interaction between group and time( F=3.21, P<0.05). The escape latencies of mice in middle and high dose groups of nano-PbO were higher than that in the control group (both P<0.05), and the numbers of crossing the platform of the two groups were lower than that in the control group (both P<0.05). The results of open field test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the residence time of the mice in the four groups ( F=119.10, P<0.01). The total standing times of mice in the middle group and high dose group of nano-PbO were lower than that in the control group (both P<0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in hippocampus tissue of mice were significant differences among the four groups ( F=7.21, 9.89, both P<0.05). The levels of TNF-α and IL-1β in the hippocampus of mice in the high-dose nano-PbO group were higher than those in the control group (TNF-α: (0.35±0.10), (1.03±0.30), P<0.05; IL-1β: (0.32±0.10), (0.50±0.15), P<0.05). The results of flow cytometry analysis showed that the proportions of leukocytes in the brain tissue of mice in the low, medium and high dose groups of nano-PbO were (9.99±1.09)%, (13.03±0.94)% and (16.51±3.89)%, respectively. Among them, the proportions of leukocytes in the middle and high dose groups of nano-PbO were significantly higher than that in the control group((8.13±1.29)%) (both P<0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the proportion of leukocytes, levels of TNF-α, IL-1β protein of hippocampus in the medium, high dose groups of nano-PbO were negatively correlated with the behavioral indexes ( r=-0.815, -0.744, -0.578, all P<0.01; r=-0.771, -0.836, -0.704, all P<0.05; r=-0.823, -0.876, -0.695, all P<0.05). The results of Western blot showed that the levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in cerebral microvessels of mice in the four groups were significantly different ( F=5.51, 16.19, both P<0.05). The levels of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in the middle and high dose groups of nano-PbO were higher than those in the control group(ICAM-1: (1.07±0.16), (1.21±0.35), (0.59±0.19), all P<0.05; VCAM-1: (0.68±0.12), (1.92±0.23), (0.23±0.05), both P<0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in the level of LFA-1 protein in blood leukocytes of mice in the four groups ( F=41.80, P<0.05). The levels of LFA-1 in the middle and high dose groups of nano-PbO were higher than that in the control group((0.33±0.06), (0.89±0.23), (0.05±0.01), both P<0.05). Conclusion:The nano-PbO exposure can lead to cognitive impairment and increased inflammatory factors in the hippocampus of mice, which may be related to the increase of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in vascular endothelial cells, which promotes leukocyte infiltration into brain tissue.
