Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a potential therapeutic target for treating several diseases. A recent study revealed that HDAC6 is important for NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suggesting that targeting HDAC6 could be useful for treating many inflammatory disorders. Using the proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) strategy, we herein report an HDAC6 degrader with low cytotoxicity by tethering a selective HDAC6 inhibitor derived from a natural product, indirubin, with pomalidomide, a CRBN E3 ligand. Our HDAC6 degrader efficiently and selectively decreased HDAC6 levels in several cell lines, including activated THP-1 cells. Application of this HDAC6 degrader attenuated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in LPS-induced mice, which for the first time demonstrates that HDAC6 PROTAC could be a novel strategy to treat NLRP3 inflammasome-associated diseases.

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE-2) is synthesised by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 (mPGES-1). PGE-2 exhibits pro-inflammatory properties in inflammatory conditions. However, there remains limited understanding of the COX-2/mPGES-1/PGE-2 pathway in Angiostrongylus cantonensis-induced meningoencephalitis.

This study aims to assess the safety, efficacy, and mechanisms of Juanbilijieqing Fang in a mouse model of gouty arthritis. C57BL/6 mice were allocated into six groups: control, gouty arthritis model, and treatment groups receiving varying doses of Juanbilijieqing Fang (low, medium, high), along with a positive control group treated with febuxostat. Gouty arthritis was induced via MSU crystal injection following a high-fat diet.

Aim: To explore the neuroprotective effects of high mobility group box 2 () knockdown on retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in the retinal ischemia-reperfusion injury (RIRI).
Methods: Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-injured RGCs from postnatal three-day C57BL/6 mice pups and high intraocular pressure (IOP)-induced RIRI mice were used as cellular and animal models of RIRI. The expression of HMGB2 in the retina of RIRI mice and OGD-injured RGCs was detected through reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blotting.

The deposition of cholesterol containing cholesterol crystals and the infiltration of immune cells are features of atherosclerosis. Although the role of cholesterol crystals in the progression of atherosclerosis have long remained unclear, recent studies have clarified the involvement of cholesterol crystals in inflammatory responses. Cholesterol crystals activate the NLRP3 inflammasome, a molecular complex involved in the innate immune system.
