Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effects of Jujuboside A (Ju A) on LPS induced inflammation mediators in BV-2 microglial cells, and the neuroprotective effect of Ju A in neuronal injury.  METHODS: BV-2 cells were pre-treated with Ju A, and then stimulated by LPS. The cell viabilities were measured by MTT assay, the levels of NO were measured by Griess assay, the concentrations of TNF-alfa, IL-1beta were detected by using ELISA, the contents of ROS were detected by DCFH-DA probe method, and the effect of BV-2 conditioned medium on survival rate of HT-22 cells was detected by MTT. RESULTS:Ju A had no significant effect on cell viability within  tested concentrations.Ju A significantly inhibited the production of NO, TNF-alfa, IL-1beta and ROS. BV-2 conditioned medium intervened by Ju A inhibited the neuroinflammation on HT-22 hippocampal neuron cells. CONCLUSION: Ju A inhibits LPS-induced microglia activation and neuroinflammation, which mediates its neuroprotective effect on neuronal injury.

Key words: Jujuboside A, microglial cell, hippocampal neurons, neuroinflammation, neuroprotective
