Sepsis often triggers a systemic inflammatory response leading to multi-organ dysfunction, with complex and not fully understood pathogenesis. This study investigates the therapeutic effects of cimifugin on BV-2 cells under sepsis-induced stress conditions. We utilized a BV-2 microglial cell model treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mimic sepsis. Assessments included cellular vitality, inflammatory cytokine quantification (6 interleukin [6IL]-1β, interleukin 6 [IL-6], and tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α]) via enzyme-linked-immunosorbent serologic assay, and analysis of mRNA expression using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Oxidative stress and mitochondrial function were also evaluated to understand the cellular effects of cimifugin. Cimifugin significantly attenuated LPS-induced inflammatory responses, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction. It enhanced cell viability and modulated the secretion and gene expression of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α. Notably, cimifugin activated the deacetylase sirtuin 1-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 pathway, contributing to its protective effects against mitochondrial damage. Cimifugin demonstrates the potential of being an effective treatment for sepsis--induced neuroinflammation, warranting further investigation.
