Objective to investigate effects of traditional Chinese herbal extract monomer- curcumin (Cur) on astrocyte inflammation induced by hypoxia.Methods cobalt chloride (CoCl₂) was applied to the astrocyte cell line U87 resulting in cellular hypoxia. The changes of inflammatory cytokines after hypoxia and Cur treatment were determined by real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The effects of Cur on NF - κB signaling pathway and nuclear translocation in hypoxic U87 cells were studied by Western Blotting. Results CoCl₂ up-regulated the transcriptional level of astrocyte inflammatory cytokines in a dose-dependent manner, and Cur significantly inhibited inflammation of astrocyte induced by chemical hypoxia. CoCl₂-induced chemical hypoxia lead to increased phosphorylation of p65 in the cytosol and promotes nuclear translocation of p65. Cur pretreatment significantly inhibited the activation of the above signaling pathway. Conclusion Cur exerts neuroprotective effects by inhibiting NF-κB signaling pathway and down-regulation of astrocyte inflammation induced chemical hypoxia.
