Article Abstract
Viruses have become a major threat to human health. Interferon-β (IFN-β) has a key role in the antivirus process, as it can increase the expression of antivirus-associated genes. Itaconate and its derivatives can regulate the immune response, secretion of inflammatory factors, and pyroptosis of macrophages. The effect of itaconate on IFN-β secretion of double-stranded RNA-induced macrophages are not well known. A derivative of itaconate, 4-octoyl itaconate (4-OI), was used to treat mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) induced with 100 μg/mL poly(I:C). The IFN-β concentration was detected through ELISA, and IFN-β mRNA expression was detected through quantitative PCR. High-throughput transcriptome sequencing was used to analyze changes in the BMDM transcriptome after 4-OI treatment. The Nrf2 expression was knocked down with siRNA.4-OI inhibited poly(I:C)-induced IFN-β secretion and mRNA expression in BMDM. Results of transcriptome sequencing revealed that 4-OI downregulated 1047 genes and upregulated 822 genes. GO and KEGG enrichment of differently expressed genes revealed that many downregulated genes were related to the anti-virus process, whereas many upregulated genes were related to metabolism. The Nrf2 inhibitor ML385 and Nrf2 siRNA could partially reverse the inhibitory effect of 4-OI. In conclusion, 4-octyl itaconate could inhibit the poly(I:C)-induced interferon-β secretion in BMDM partially by regulating Nrf2.

Purpose: To investigate the pathological changes of the synovium in mice with post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) treated with 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) and evaluate the therapeutic effects of 4-OI.
Methods: In the phenotypic validation experiment, the mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: wild-type (WT) group, sham group, and destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) group. Through MRI, micro-CT, and histological analysis, it was determined that DMM surgery induced a mouse PTOA model with significant signs of synovitis.

Itaconate is produced as endogenous metabolite by decarboxylation of the citric acid cycle intermediate cis-aconitate. As itaconate has anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, this substance is considered as potential therapeutic drug for the treatment of inflammation in various diseases including traumatic brain injury and stroke. To test for potential adverse effects of itaconate on the viability and metabolism of brain cells, we investigated whether itaconate or its membrane permeable derivatives dimethyl itaconate (DI) and 4-octyl itaconate (OI) may affect the basal glucose and glutathione (GSH) metabolism of cultured primary astrocytes.

Sleepiness is commonly associated with neuroinflammation; however, the underlying neuroregulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Previous research suggests that the paraventricular thalamus (PVT) plays a crucial role in regulating sleep-wake dynamics; thus, neurological abnormalities in the PVT may contribute to neuroinflammation-induced sleepiness. To test this hypothesis, we performed electroencephalography recordings in mice treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and found that the mice exhibited temporary sleepiness lasting for 7 days.

Vascular calcification frequently occurs in patients with chronic conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes, and hypertension and represents a significant cause of cardiovascular events. Thus, identifying effective therapeutic targets to inhibit the progression of vascular calcification is essential. 4-Octyl itaconate (4-OI), a derivative of itaconate, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, both of which play an essential role in the progression of vascular calcification.

The immune response gene 1 (IRG1) and its metabolite itaconate are implicated in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress, with potential relevance to sepsis-induced myocardial dysfunction (SIMD). This study investigates their roles in SIMD using both in vivo and in vitro models. Mice were subjected to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis, and cardiac function was assessed in IRG1 knockout (IRG1-/-) and wild-type mice.
