TL;DR: It is demonstrated that miR-150 can effectively prevent CD28/B7 co-stimulatory signaling transduction, decrease production of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-2 and TNF, and elicit the induction of immune tolerance.

TL;DR: Administration of Buyang Huanwu Decoction, within 4h of post-transient focal stroke, reduced significant cerebral ischemia/reperfusion damage and the neurological defect score and infarction volume were significantly improved by administration, when compared with the Ischemia group.

TL;DR: Studying gut microbiota and its metabolites has contributed to the understanding of comorbidity of chronic pain and depression, and modulating dietary structures or supplementation of specific bacteria may be an available strategy for treating chronicPain and depression.
Abstract: BACKGROUND Chronic pain is frequently comorbid with depression in clinical practice. Recently, alterations in gut microbiota and metabolites derived therefrom have been found to potentially contribute to abnormal behaviors and cognitive dysfunction via the "microbiota-gut-brain" axis. METHODS PubMed was searched and we selected relevant studies before October 1, 2019. The search keyword string included "pain OR chronic pain" AND "gut microbiota OR metabolites"; "depression OR depressive disorder" AND "gut microbiota OR metabolites". We also searched the reference lists of key articles manually. RESULTS This review systematically summarized the recent evidence of gut microbiota and metabolites in chronic pain and depression in animal and human studies. The results showed the pathogenesis and therapeutics of chronic pain and depression might be partially due to gut microbiota dysbiosis. Importantly, bacteria-derived metabolites, including short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan-derived metabolites, and secondary bile acids, offer new insights into the potential linkage between key triggers in gut microbiota and potential mechanisms of depression. CONCLUSION Studying gut microbiota and its metabolites has contributed to the understanding of comorbidity of chronic pain and depression. Consequently, modulating dietary structures or supplementation of specific bacteria may be an available strategy for treating chronic pain and depression.

TL;DR: Suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages contributes to the amelioration of gout pain by procyanidins.
Abstract: Gout is one of the common inflammatory arthritis which affects many people for inflicting unbearable pain. Macrophage-mediated inflammation plays an important role in gout. The uptake of monosodium urate (MSU) crystals by macrophages can lead to activation of NOD-like receptors containing a PYD 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, thus accelerating interleukin (IL)-1β production. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) promoted development of the inflammatory process through NLRP3 inflammasome. Our study aimed to find a food-derived compound to attenuate gout pain via the specific inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages. CD-1 mice were used to evaluate the degree of pain and the swelling dimension of joints after an intra-articular (IA) MSU injection in the ankle. The murine macrophage cell line Raw 264.7 was used to investigate the effects of procyanidins and the mechanism underlying such effects. Histological analysis was used to measure the infiltration of inflammatory cells. ROS produced from Raw 264.7 cells were evaluated by flow cytometry. Cell signaling was measured by Western blot assay and immunofluorescence. Procyanidins significantly attenuated gout pain and suppressed ankle swelling. Procyanidins also inhibited MSU-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and increase of IL-1β. Furthermore, procyanidins decreased ROS levels in Raw 264.7 cells. Suppression of the NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages contributes to the amelioration of gout pain by procyanidins.
