    Proposed mechanism of GA in alleviating cerebral ischemic injury. GA monomers interact directly with MD2, preventing the dimerization of MD2 and TLR4, as well as the subsequent activation of downstream MAPK and NF‐κB signaling pathways. This process lowers inflammatory mediator production and reduces microglial overactivation.

    GAs suppress MD2/TLR4 complex formation and inhibit MAPK and NF‐κB signaling pathways in a mouse model of tMCAO. GA (administered at doses of 0 or 20 mg kg −1 , i.p.) was given immediately after reperfusion. At 24 h post‐reperfusion, total and nuclear proteins were isolated from the cortical penumbra for analysis by Western blotting. (A) Immunoprecipitation analysis of the MD2/TLR4 complex in the ischemic hemisphere. (B) Quantification of MD2 expression levels. (C) Representative Western blot images showing proteins involved in the MAPK signaling pathway. (D) Quantitative analysis of phosphorylation levels. (E) Representative Western blot images of nuclear NF‐κB and AP‐1. (F) Quantification of protein expression. The data are presented as the mean ± SEM ( n = 4). Statistical significance is indicated as follows: ### p < 0.001 compared to the sham group, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 compared to the vehicle‐treated tMCAO group.

    MD2 knockout reduces microglia activation and improves acute cerebral ischemic injury in the tMCAO mouse model. (A) Representative micrographs (magnification ×100) showing immunofluorescent staining of MD2 (red) in the peri‐infarct area of the cortex and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus, 24 h after reperfusion. Scale bars: 50 µm. WT and MD2‐KO mice underwent 1 h of tMCAO, followed by 24 h of reperfusion. GA (0 or 20 mg kg −1 , i.p.) was administered immediately post‐reperfusion. (B) Representative micrographs depicting immunofluorescence for Iba‐1 (green). Primary microglial cells were isolated from WT and MD2‐KO mice, pretreated with GA (50 µg mL −1 ) or vehicle for 1 h, then stimulated with LPS (10 ng mL −1 ) for 12 h.

    Proposed mechanism of GA in alleviating cerebral ischemic injury. GA monomers interact directly with MD2, preventing the dimerization of MD2 and TLR4, as well as the subsequent activation of downstream MAPK and NF‐κB signaling pathways. This process lowers inflammatory mediator production and reduces microglial overactivation.
