| Abstract | Huoluo Xiaoling Pellet (HXP), a Chinese patent medicine, is commonly administered for the treatment of treat ischemic strokes. MCPIP1, an inducible suppressor of the inflammatory response, is a regulator of microglial M2 polarization. This study aimed to explore whether HXP can promote microglial M2 polarization by upregulating MCPIP1 expression, consequently mitigating cerebral ischemic injury. Our study involved 85 Sprague-Dawley rats (weighing 250-280 g). We established middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and oxygen-glucose deprivation-reoxygenation (OGD/R) models with MCPIP1 knockdown to assess the effects of HXP on ischemic strokes. Our findings show that HXP reduced brain water content, improved neurological function, and inhibited the expression of inflammatory factors in the brain tissues of MCAO rats. The neuroprotective effects of HXP on cerebral ischemic injuries were compromised by MCPIP1 knockdown. Immunofluorescence results indicated that the expression of microglia marker Iba1 and M2 phenotypic marker CD206 was upregulated in MCAO rats and OGD/R-treated microglia. Administration of HXP significantly reduced Iba1 expression and facilitated CD206 expression, an effect that was counteracted by sh-MCPIP1 transfection. Western blotting revealed that HXP treatment augmented the expression of MCPIP1, microglial M2 marker proteins (CD206 and Arg1), and PPARγ, while reducing the expression of microglial M1 marker proteins (CD16 and iNOS) in MCAO rats and OGD/R-induced microglia. MCPIP1 knockdown suppressed HXP-mediated upregulation of MCPIP1, CD206, Arg1, and PPARγ, as well as the downregulation of CD16 and iNOS. Our findings suggest that HXP primarily ameliorates ischemic stroke through the upregulation of MCPIP1, which in turn induces microglial M2 polarization. |
