Article Abstract
Remimazolam is a new benzodiazepine of sedative drugs with an ultra-short-acting anesthetic effect, commonly used for critically ill patients (especially septic patients) in intensive care units (ICUs). Although some anesthetics have been reported to show certain anti-inflammatory effects, the role of remimazolam in inflammation is still remained unknown. Here, we studied the effects of remimazolam on macrophage in response to LPS both and . Interestingly, compared with LPS treatment group, remimazolam remarkably improved survival rate of endotoxemia mice and decreased the release of LPS-induced inflammatory mediators (such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β). We further found that remimazolam not only inhibited the activation of MAPK signal pathway at 15 min after LPS treatment but also disturbed Rab5a related TLR4 expression at cell surface in response to LPS at a later time. Such evidence suggests that remimazolam might be beneficial to septic patients who are suffering from uncontrolled inflammatory responses.

Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition involving organ dysfunction characterized by a generalized inflammatory syndrome, and the associated mortality rate is high. Electroacupuncture (EA) exerts benefits in endotoxemia-induced lung injury, mainly through lung inflammation reduction and cellular homeostasis, although the anti-inflammatory mechanisms underlying these benefits remain to be completely understood.
Methods: Mice were pretreated with EA or sham EA therapy 5 days prior to the induction of endotoxemia through the administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).

Background: The NOD-like receptor protein (NLRP)3 inflammasome is at the signaling hub center to instigate inflammation in response to pathogen infection or oxidative stress, and its tight control is pivotal for immune defense against infection while avoiding parallel intensive inflammatory tissue injury. Acetylation of NLRP3 is critical for the full activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, while the precise regulation of the acetylation and deacetylation circuit of NLRP3 protein remained to be fully understood.
Methods: The interaction between histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) and NLRP3 was detected by immunoprecipitation and western blot in the HDAC10 and NLRP3 overexpressing cells.

The study aimed to verify the effect of Tirzepatide (Tzp, a dual agonist GIP/GLP-1) on intestinal health and microbiota balance in an obese diabetic ovariectomized (Ovx) mice model. Female C57BL/6 mice with Ovx and diet-induced obesity with diabetes were treated with Tzp (10 nmol/kg) for four weeks. Control (C) and obese-diabetic subgroups (Od) were formed (group abbreviations: O, Ovx; T, Tzp; n = 30/group): C, CT, CO, COT, Od, OdT, OdO, OdOT.

Tank-binding kinase 1 (TBK1) is a critical signal transducer in the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and interferon regulatory factor (IRF) pathways, essential for innate immunity. However, its negative regulation mechanisms remain unclear. This study demonstrates that TBK1 succinylation, regulated by desuccinylase SIRT5, inhibits lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)-mediated NF-κB and IRF signaling activation.
