Cover Story: Yukmijihwang-Tang (YJT) is widely used in traditional Korean medicine to treat age-related disorders. We evaluated the pharmacological effects of slightly modified YJT on LPS-induced hippocampus oxidation and inflammation using male C57BL/6J mice. Neuroinflammation in the hippocampus depleted Sirt6 at the protein level, and this alteration directly affected the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and GSH redox cycle in the LPS group. Oral administration of YJT significantly recovered Sirt6 protein levels, the abnormal status of Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathways, mRNA levels of Gpx3, Gsr, and Gssh, and total GSH contents in the hippocampus regions. These findings suggest that YJT can protect against LPS-induced neuroinflammation and oxidative stress by regulating the Sirt6-related pathways and normalizing the GSH redox cycle. View this paper
