SOCS1 Mediates Berberine-Induced Amelioration of Microglial Activated States in N9 Microglia Exposed to β Amyloid

Attenuating β amyloid- (Aβ-) induced microglial activation is considered to be effective in treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Berberine (BBR) can reduce microglial activation in Aβ-treated microglial cells; the mechanism, however, is still illusive. Silencing of cytokine signaling factor 1 (SOCS1)...
