摘要： Salmonella typhimurium (S.T) induces damage to the central nervous system; however, the role of Asiatic acid (AA) in this is still unknown. Microglia play a role as macrophages to recognize the invaded pathogenic microbes in the brain. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effect and mechanism of AA on the central nervous system through an in vitro model of S.T infection in microglia. We pre-treated microglia with AA before S.T infection and explored the anti-infection mechanism of AA by sequencing, quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR), and Western blotting. Long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) sequencing demonstrated that inflammation is a major factor in S.T infection of microglia. RT-qPCR data demonstrated that AA inhibited S.T-induced increases in the mRNA levels of the pro-inflammatory factors interleukin (IL)-1 beta, IL-6, and IL-18. Western blotting demonstrated that AA inhibited S.T-induced activation of the nuclear factor (NF)-kappa B pathway and activation of the NLR family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Expression of the lncRNA TVX1 in microglia was decreased by S.T infection and increased by pretreatment with AA. Inhibition of TVX1 expression reversed the anti-inflammatory effect of AA, and overexpression of TVX1 in microglia suppressed S.T-induced inflammation. In conclusion, AA attenuated S.T-induced microglial inflammation by upregulating the expression of the lncRNA TVX1.
