Aim: To determine whether the flavonoid baicalin attenuates oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced injury by inhibiting oxidative stress-mediated 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) activation in PC12 cells.
Methods: The effects of baicalin and the 5-LOX inhibitor zileuton on the changes induced by OGD/recovery or H(2)O(2) (an exogenous reactive oxygen species [ROS]) in green fluorescent protein-5-LOX-transfected PC12 cells were compared.
Results: Both baicalin and zileuton attenuated OGD/recovery- and H(2)O(2)-induced injury and inhibited OGD/recovery-induced production of 5-LOX metabolites (cysteinyl leukotrienes) in a concentration-dependent manner. However, baicalin did not reduce baseline cysteinyl leukotriene levels. Baicalin also reduced OGD/recovery-induced ROS production and inhibited 5-LOX translocation to the nuclear envelope and p38 phosphorylation induced by OGD/recovery and H(2)O(2). In contrast, zileuton did not show these effects.
Conclusion: Baicalin can inhibit 5-LOX activation after ischemic injury, which may partly result from inhibition of the ROS/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway.

Objective: This study investigated the mechanism of baicalin (BIA) attenuating the inflammatory response and lung injury in mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) mice.
Methods: MPP mouse models were established and then treated with BIA, azithromycin, or NLRP3 inflammasome activator. Lung wet-to-dry weight (W/D) ratio were weighed.

The hypoxia microenvironment post-myocardial infarction (MI) critically disturbs cellular metabolism and inflammation response, leading to scarce bioenergy supplying, prolonged inflammatory phase and high risk of cardiac fibrosis during cardiac restoration. Herein, an injectable hydrogel is prepared by Schiff base reaction between fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP)-grafted carboxymethyl chitosan (CF) and oxidized dextran (OD), followed by loading fucoidan-coated baicalin (BA)-encapsulated zein nanoparticles (BFZ NPs), in which immunoregulatory and metabolism improving functions are integrally included. The grafted FBP serves to enhance glycolysis and provide more bioenergy for cardiomyocytes survival under hypoxia microenvironment, and elevating cellular antioxidant capacity pentose phosphate pathway.

Background: Autophagy‒endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress axis dysregulation is linked to myocardial ischemia‒reperfusion injury (MIRI), which counteracts the benefits of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reperfusion therapy. Qingre Huoxue decoction (QRHX) improves the short- and long-term prognosis of AMI after percutaneous coronary intervention and alleviates myocardial injury in AMI rats by stimulating autophagy via the PI3K/Akt pathway. We aimed to further explore the efficacy of QRHX in treating MIRI and its regulatory relationship with FAM134B-mediated ER-phagy.

Baicalin, a predominant bioactive flavonoid derived from the traditional Chinese medicinal herb Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, has garnered significant attention. Ferroptosis, a relatively novel form of programmed cell death, implicates critical signaling pathways, notably those involving nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and glutathione peroxidase 4 (Gpx4). Consequently, this study aims is to elucidate whether baicalin mitigates intestinal tissue damage by modulating the Nrf2-Gpx4 signaling pathway in the context of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (II/R) injury, thereby influencing iron deposition.
