The effects of TLR4 blocker on blood cell morphology, concentrations proinflammatory cytokines, and functional state of the liver and kidneys were studied in outbred male rats (n=60) after intravenous injection of 20 mg/kg LPS isolated from opportunistic Proteus mirabilis strain ATCC 51393. TLR4 blocker TLR4-IN-C34 was injected intravenously in a dose of 1 mg/kg/day over 3 days. Systemic inflammatory reaction induced by LPS was characterized by elevation of serum TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, leukocytosis, and thrombocytosis. Increased activity of hepatocyte enzymes (ALT, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase), retention of nitrogen metabolites (urea and creatinine), elevated content of protein oxidation products, and enhanced protein catabolism were also observed. Administration of TLR4 blocker reduced parameters of inflammatory reaction and prevented the development of hypercatabolic syndrome; endotoxicosis and kidney function indicators approached the normal levels.

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is an important mediator that activates bacterial inflammation through its signaling pathway. It binds lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the presence of myeloid differentiation protein 2 (MD2) to dimerise the TLR4-MD2-LPS complex. The TLR4 mediated signaling pathway stimulates cytokine production in humans, initiating inflammatory responses.

Background And Purpose: Esophageal cancer-related gene-4 (ECRG4) participate in inflammation process and can interact with the innate immunity complex TLR4-MD2-CD14 on human granulocytes. In addition, ECRG4 participate in modulation of ion channel function and electrical activity of cardiomyocytes. However, the exact mechanism is unknown.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers induced a diabetes-related depression model in rats through diet, injections, and stress, then assessed behaviors, blood glucose, immune markers, and synaptic structures using various tests and analyses.
- * Findings showed that the model rats exhibited increased immobility and reduced activity, alongside specific changes in immune and neurotransmitter levels in the hippocampus, indicating the potential effectiveness of the formula in modulating these negative effects.

Introduction: NLRP3, ASC, and procaspase-1 form the multiprotein complex known as the NLRP3 inflammasome. Following the priming of NLRP3 by TLR4 ligand, the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome causes caspase-1 maturation, which results in the release of IL-1β. Calcium channel antagonists are commonly employed as antihypertensive medications and have anti-inflammatory properties through the inhibition of cytokine release, specifically IL-1β.

Background: In early 2020, COVID-19 pandemic has mobilized researchers in finding new remedies including repurposing of medicinal plant products focusing on direct-acting antiviral and host-directed therapies. In this study, we performed an in vitro investigation on the standardized Marantodes pumilum extract (SKF7) focusing on anti-SARS-CoV-2 and anti-inflammatory activities.
Methods: Anti-SARS-CoV-2 potential of the SKF7 was evaluated in SARS-CoV-2-infected Vero E6 cells and SARS-CoV-2-infected A549 cells by cytopathic effect-based assay and RT-qPCR, respectively.
