Figure Lengend Snippet: The ability of reticuline to reduce neuroinflammation was attenuated after re-stimulation of STAT3 phosphorylation. (A–B) After intraperitoneal injection of reticuline and reticuline + Colivelin, HE staining was used to determine the number of cells and the size of the lesion site (n = 3). (C) Data on the number of cells in the lesion site following various treatments. (D) Statistics of the area of lesion site after different treatments. (E–I) Primary microglia were stimulated with LPS followed by administration of reticuline or reticuline + Colivelin. Immunofluorescence detected the expression of p-STAT3, p -ERK1/2, p -AKT, and p -IRF3, and the fluorescence intensity was measured (n = 3). (J–N) Primary astrocytes were stimulated with LPS followed by administration of reticuline or reticuline + Colivelin. Immunofluorescence detected the expression of p-STAT3, p -ERK1/2, p -AKT, and p-65, and the fluorescence intensity was measured (n = 3). (∗P < 0.05; ∗∗P < 0.01; ∗∗∗P < 0.001; ∗∗∗∗P < 0.0001). Unpaired t -test for (C–D, F–I, K–N).
Article Snippet: Reticuline (MCE, HY-N1356) was dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mg/ml to prepare the stock solution, and the working solution was prepared using a solution of 10 % DMSO stock solution + 40 % PEG300/PEG400 + 5 % Tween-80 + 45 % saline.
