Article Title: Glabridin attenuates LTA-induced alveolar macrophage migration via activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway

doi: 10.3892/mmr.2025.13758

Figure Lengend Snippet: GBD inhibits LTA-induced macrophage migration through Nrf2 activation. MH-S cells were pretreated with the indicated compounds for 30 min and then stimulated with LTA. (A) Representative wound healing images 0, 6, and 24 h after LTA stimulation. (B) Quantification of wound closure. (C) Representative images of Transwell migration at 6 h and 24 h after LTA stimulation. Migrated cells on the lower surface of the membrane were fixed, stained with crystal violet and images captured under an inverted light microscope. Scale bar, 200 µm. (D) Quantification of migrated cells. Data are presented as means ± SD. ***P<0.001 vs. DMSO; ### P<0.001 vs. DMSO+LTA; † P<0.05, †† P<0.01 and ††† P<0.001 vs. GBD+LTA; ‡‡ P<0.01 vs. ML385+LTA. GBD, glabridin; LTA, lipoteichoic acid; Nrf2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; DMSO, dimethyl sulfoxide.

doi: 10.3892/mmr.2025.13758

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic of GBD-induced modulation of macrophage migration in vitro . Upon LTA stimulation, MH-S cells increase ROS production, activating Nrf2 and upregulating HO-1. GBD thus modulateS cell migration by increasing Nrf2 nuclear translocation and HO-1 expression. GBD, glabridin; LTA, lipoteichoic acid; ROS, reactive oxygen species; Nrf2, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2; HO-1, heme oxygenase-1.
