However, the precise mechanisms by which LLT plays a potent role as an anti-inflammatory agent are still unknown, and in particular, the effects of LLT on cortical neurons and related mechanisms of neuroinflammation have not been studied. The NLRP3 inflammasome pathway is one of the most well known as an important driver of inflammation. We therefore hypothesized that LLT, as an effective anti-inflammatory agent, might have neurotherapeutic potential by inhibiting the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway in cortical neurons.Materials and Methods: Primary cortical neurons were isolated from the embryonic rat cerebral cortex, and H2O2 was used to stimulate neuron damage in vitro. After treatment with LLT at three concentrations (10, 25, and 50 μg/mL), the expression of iNOS, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, and IL-10 was determined by immunocytochemistry, qPCR, and ELISA. Neuron apoptosis was also evaluated using Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining FACS analysis. Neural regeneration-related factors (BDNF, NGF, synaptophysin, NT3, AKT, and mTOR) were analyzed by immunocytochemistry and qPCR.Results: LLT effectively protected cultured rat cortical neurons from H2O2-induced neuronal injury by significantly inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In addition, it significantly reduced caspase-1 activation, which is induced by inflammasome formation and regulated the secretion of IL-1β/IL-18. We demonstrated that LLT enhances axonal elongation and synaptic connectivity upon H2O2-induced neuronal injury in rat primary cortical neurons.Conclusion: It was first demonstrated in vitro that LLT suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activation, attenuates inflammation and apoptosis, and consequently promotes neuroprotection and the stimulation of neuron repair, suggesting that it is a promising therapeutic for neurological diseases.Keywords: Lycopus lucidus Turcz, cortical neuron, hydrogen peroxide, NLRP3 inflammasome, neuroinflammationKim HHong JYJeon WJLee JBaek SHHa IHDove Medical Pressarticlelycopus lucidus turczcortical neuronhydrogen peroxidenlrp3 inflammasomeneuroinflammationPathologyRB1-214Therapeutics.
