Puerarin Attenuates Complete Freund’s Adjuvant-Induced Trigeminal Neuralgia and Inflammation in a Mouse Model via Sirt1-Mediated TGF-β1/Smad3 Inhibition

Abstract: Background Puerarin, an active compound of radix puerariae, is a major compound used in Chinese herbal medicines and it has been well known for its pharmacological effects, including antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties. The aim of the present study was to determine the role of puerarin (Pue) in complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA)-induced trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and the effects of this compound on Sirt1 activity and on the progression of CFA-induced TN. … Show more

“…It is available in different dosage forms for clinical applications [136]. It has been extensively studied as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound [137][138][139][140], and in recent years, its role in It is known that puerarin (2) inhibits calcium influx, improves microcirculation, reduces insulin resistance, scavenges ROS, and counteracts cell death. It is available in different dosage forms for clinical applications [136].…”

“…It is available in different dosage forms for clinical applications [ 136 ]. It has been extensively studied as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compound [ 137 , 138 , 139 , 140 ], and in recent years, its role in pain pathways has been investigated. In burn injury rats, puerarin ( 2 ) (100 mg/kg/day i.p., 30 min before burn for 3 days) decreased the up-regulated expression of P2X3 receptor protein and its mRNA in DRG neurons and reduced the primary afferent transmission on P2X3 receptor in DRG, leading to an improvement of thermal and mechanical hypersensitivity [ 141 ].…”

“…These evidences demonstrate that genistein is able to repress neuroinflammation via promoting Nrf2 pathway, as well as suppressing MAPKs and NF-kB pathways. Puerarin (Figure 3), distributed in Pueraria lobata, could reduce the secretion of IL-8, IL-18, MCP-1 and CCL2 in TNF-a plus IL-1b-induced primary nerve cells and the trigeminal ganglions from complete Freund's adjuvant-treated mice through the inhibition of NLRP3, Caspase-1, TGF-b1, NLRP1 protein and Smad3 phosphorylation, and the up-regulation of SIRT1 (133). Another study shows that puerarin could alleviate ICH-induced behavioral defects, drop hematoma volume and histological injury, decrease IL-6, IL-1b, and TNF-a secretion, as well as down-regulate 3-NT, 8-OHdG, and ROS levels in the perihematomal brain tissue of ICH-induced rats via promoting PI3k and Akt phosphorylation, and suppressing the phosphorylation of p65 and the nuclear accumulation of p65 (134).…”

“…The anti-inflammatory effect of puerarin might be related to the activation of the TGF-β/Smad pathway [ 77 ]. As a potential Sirt1 activator, puerarin improves TN-induced neuroinflammation and neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting TGF-β1/Smad3 activity [ 78 ]. Rats with lumbar disc herniation characterized by ipsilateral mechanical hyperalgesia and abnormal heat pain exhibit persistent radicular pain behavior.…”
