BTK inhibitor ibrutinib reduces LPS-induced inflammation in C8-B4 microglia.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we examined the potential of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor ibrutinib to mitigate neuroinflammation in C8-B4 microglial cells activated by the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Our objective was to enhance understanding of its mechanism of action, particularly in relation to its anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant potential of ibrutinib. Here, mouse microglial C8-B4 cells were treated with ibrutinib (1 and 10 μM) or vehicle (1 % DMSO) for 1 h, followed by lipopolysaccharide (LPS 1 μg/mL) for 23 h. We observed that ibrutinib significantly decreased LPS-induced nitric oxide levels and nitric oxide synthase 3 (NOS3) expression. In parallel, ibrutinib decreased cell senescence induced by LPS in microglia. Ibrutinib notably diminished the elevation of tumor nec
