Project description:Paeony root has long been used for its anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, the effects of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, and paeonol, compounds from paeony root, on gene expression profiles were examined in macrophages. The RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with LPS in the presence or absence of albiflorin, paeoniflorin, or paeonol. Global mRNA expression levels were detected by using an oligonucleotide microarray platform covering the mouse whole genome. Our results demonstrate that paeonol has extensive inhibitory effects on the regulation of inflammation-associated gene expression by LPS in macrophages. In addition, the predominant effect of paeonol among the tested compounds suggests that paeonol may be a major ingredient for the anti-inflammatory effect of paeony root.

Project description:In this study, mouse macrophage Raw264.7 was pretreated with Lespedeza bicolor root components and then stimulated with LPS and then high-throughput sequencing technology was used to explore the expression of inflammation-related genes of Raw264.7 in mouse macrophages treated with Lespedeza bicolor root components, and to find interesting targets,NF-kappaB and p38 signaling pathway.
Project description:ATAC-seq profiling of Nfat5 KO and wild type macrophages derived from bone marrow (primary cells), treated or not with Lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
