AI Article Synopsis

  • The pathogen can damage endothelial barriers in piglets, but its inflammatory mechanism is not yet understood.
  • Baicalin, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, was tested to see if it could alleviate this damage in porcine vascular endothelial cells.
  • The study found that baicalin inhibited expression of certain proteins and reduced the release of various nucleosides, indicating its potential as a target for treating inflammation-related diseases.

Article Abstract

can induce endothelial barrier damage in piglets, although the mechanism by which this pathogen triggers inflammatory damage remains unclear. Baicalin possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant activities. However, whether baicalin can relieve endothelial barrier damage caused by infection has not yet been studied. Hence, we evaluated the ability of baicalin to counteract the changes induced by in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells. The results showed that could upregulate the expression of pannexin 1 channel protein and promote the release of adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine 3'-monophosphate, uridine triphosphate, uridine diphosphate, and uridine monophosphate in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells. The expression level of purinergic receptor P2Y6 was upregulated in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells triggered by . In addition, could activate phospholipase C-protein kinase C and myosin light chain kinase-myosin light chain signaling pathways in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells. Baicalin could inhibit pannexin 1 channel protein expression, reduce adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, adenosine 3'-monophosphate, uridine triphosphate, uridine diphosphate, and uridine monophosphate release, and attenuate the expression level of P2Y6 in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells induced by . Baicalin could also reduce the activation of phospholipase C-protein kinase C and myosin light chain kinase-myosin light chain signaling pathways in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells triggered by . Our study report that could promote pannexin 1 channel protein expression, induce nucleosides substance release, and P2Y6 expression in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells and baicalin could inhibit the expression levels of pannexin 1, nucleosides substance, and P2Y6 in the porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells induced by , which might be served as some targets for treatment of inflammation disease caused by .
