BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Overactivated glial cells, especially microglia, are core components in the progression of pathologic neuroinflammation, and the application of anti-inflammatory reagents has been regarded as a potential therapy in the management of infarction/reperfusion (I/R) brain injury. This research aims to clarify the anti-inflammatory efect of a novel lipophilic compound N-(2-[4-tert-butylphenyl]-2-[pyrrolidine-1-yl]ethyl)-7-methyl-4-oxo-4H-chromene-2-carboxamide (named CP-07 in this study) in LPS-stimulated BV2 cell line and primary mouse microglia, and its therapeutic effect on I/R brain injury.
METHOD: Cell Counting Kit-8 assay was used to determine the maximal nontoxic dose of CP-07. The mRNA levels of representative proinflammatory cytokines were determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction both in vitro and in vivo. TTC staining was performed to calculate infarct volumes while behavioral tests were used to assess the neurological deficits at 24 h after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Flow cytometry analysis and immunofluorescence staining were performed to calculate the percentage of pro-inflammatory microglia in vivo.A selective JAK2/STAT3 pathway inhibitor, AG490 was used to block STAT3 phosphorylation before the CP-07 anti-inflammation tests in vitro.
RESULTS: CP-07 could effectively suppress the mRNA levels of IL-6, IL-1β, iNOS and TNF-α induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro, and markedly block the evaluation of the fluorescence intensity of Iba-1 in primary mouse microglia. In middle cerebral arteryocclusion models, intraperitoneal injection with 1 mg/kg CP-07 significantly reduced cerebral infarct volumes at 24 h after surgery compared with vehicle treatment group, and promoted the recovery of neurological functions in MCAO mice. Further studies validated that CP-07 administration reduced the percentage of CD86 positive microglia after I/R injury, and the expression level of p-STAT3 was also markedly reduced in both microglial cells and the penumbra tissues. Blocking STAT3 phosphorylation with AG490 could completely eliminate the anti-inflammatory effects of CP-07, at least in vitro.
CONCLUSION: We showed that a newly synthesized compound, CP-07, could effectively reduce the inflammatory responses in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells and primary mouse microglia, and overproduction of cytokines in middle cerebral artery occlusion mouse models by inhibiting STAT3 phosphorylation, leading to a neuroprotective effect on I/R brain injury.
