Article Title: Ginsenoside Rg1 Inhibits Microglia Pyroptosis Induced by Lipopolysaccharide Through Regulating STAT3 Signaling
doi: 10.2147/jir.s326888
Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4 Rg1 inhibits pyroptosis through STAT3 signaling. (A) Conserved sequences at binding sites of STAT3. (B) STAT3 binding sites on AIM2 promoters predicted by JASPAR. (C) The binding relationship between STAT3 and AIM2 promoter verified by ChIP-qPCR experiment. *p < 0.05 compared with IgG negative control. (D) Western blotting analysis showing NLRP3, ASC, AIM2, cleaved-caspase-1, pro-caspase-1, IL-1β, mature-IL-1β, GSDMD and GSDMD-N protein expression in BV-2 cells with or without Rg1 pretreatment exposed to LPS or LPS with IL-6 stimulation, and with or without stattic treatment induced by LPS. (E–M) Bar graph shows gray value analysis based on immunoblot images. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 compared with control, #p < 0.05 and ###p < 0.001 compared with LPS treatment group, ∆p < 0.05 and ∆∆∆p < 0.001 compared with LPS+Rg1 treatment group. (N) Flow cytometry shows the percentage of dead cells over total cells in each stage. The effect of Rg1 (60μM) in down-regulating the rate of apoptotic cells induced by LPS was abrogated by IL-6. Compared with LPS (2μg/mL) treatment group, the rate of apoptotic cells was markedly decreased in stattic and LPS co-incubated group. (O) Bar graph shows the statistical results of the rate of dead cells in each group. **p < 0.01 compared with control, ##p < 0.01 compared with LPS treatment group, ∆∆p < 0.01 compared with LPS+Rg1 treatment group.
