[Epigenetic regulation of microglia-mediated innate immune memory and neurological diseases].

Microglia have the ability to mediate innate immune memory and can be reprogrammed by primary stimuli to enhance or inhibit the immune response of microglia to secondary stimuli. Inflammatory stimulation is an important factor for microglia to mediate innate immune memory. Single or repeated stimulation can induce microglia to form different phenotypes. Microglia-mediated innate immune response is involved in the regulation of immune memory. Enhancer modification is a key pathway of microglia epigenetic regulation, and the H3K27ac enhancer marker is closely related to immune training. TGF-ß1 mediates the interaction between IL-10 and IL-1ß, thereby influencing the microglial phenotype. Microglia glycolysis activity is increased after immune training, and oxidative phosphorylation is associated with immune tolerance. Innate immune memory is closely associated with neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, brain damage and psychosis. Further study on the mechanism of microglia-mediated innate immune memory is helpful to understand the occurrence and development of central nervous system diseases and provide new options for the treatment of central nervous system diseases.

Anti-HIV bioactive stilbene dimers of Caragana rosea.

Bioassay-guided fractionation of the ethanol extract of the aerial parts of Caragana rosea Turcz. led to the isolation of two new (cararosinol C and cararosinol D) and four known [scirpusin A (1), cis-scirpusin A (2), maackin (3), scirpusin B (4)] stilbene dimers. This is the first identification of these compounds from this plant and the first time that compound 2 has been isolated as a natural compound. Their structures were established mainly by spectral means. An in vitro assay against HIV-1 (IIIB), demonstrated compounds 1 and 4 to be active against HIV, with EC50 values of 10 microg/mL and 7 microg/mL respectively.
