Curcumin Alleviates Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-Activated Neuroinflammation via Modulation of miR-199b-5p/IκB Kinase β (IKKβ)/Nuclear Factor Kappa B (NF-κB) Pathway in Microglia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microglia reside in the spinal cord plays a key role in the onset, progression of post-spinal cord injury (SCI) neuroinflammation. Curcumin has been shown to exhibit diverse anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor activities. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of curcumin on the inflammatory response in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated microglia and its mechanism. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expression levels of phosphorylated-p65 (p-p65), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1ß, and IkappaB kinase ß (IKKß) were examined by western blot assay. MiR-199b-5p expression was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. The putative binding sites of miR-199b-5p in IKKß 3'UTR were predicted by bioinformatics, and direct interaction between miR-199b-5p and IKKß was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay and RNA-immunoprecipitation assay. RESULTS Curcumin significantly suppressed inflammatory response induced by LPS by inactivation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) in microglial cells, as reflected by the decreased levels of p-p65, as well as the pro-inflammatory mediators, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), TNF-alpha, and IL-1ß. Moreover, curcumin increased the level of miR-199b-5p and decreased IKKß expression in activated microglial cells. Knockdown of miR-199b-5p or overexpression of IKKß reversed the inhibitory effect of curcumin on inflammatory response and NF-kappaB activation. MiR-199b-5p directly targeted IKKß and suppressed its expression. Silencing of IKKß abolished miR-199b-5p-stimulated inflammatory cytokines production and NF-kappaB activation. CONCLUSIONS Curcumin attenuated neuroinflammation induced by LPS through regulating miR-199b-5p/IKKß/NF-kappaB axis in microglia.
