Figure Lengend Snippet: NWD-870 improved the survival rate and liver inflammation of mice with endotoxemia. ( A) Schematic diagram of the lethal model of endotoxemia. (B) Survival analysis of mice treated with NHWD-870. Mice were divided into five groups as following: LPS (15mg/kg) +vehicle (n=5), LPS+0.125mg/kg NHWD-870 (n=6), LPS+0.25mg/kg NHWD-870 (n=6), LPS+0.5mg/kg NHWD-870 (n=6), LPS+1.0mg/kg NHWD-870 (n=5). (C) Schematic diagram of NHWD-870 treatment of endotoxemia liver inflammation model. (D and E) Serum levels of ALT and AST. (F) HE staining of liver tissue (Magnification 100×). (G-I) ELISA detection of IL6 ( G ), TNFα ( H ), and MCP1( I ) expression levels in mouse serum. (J-L) RT-qPCR detection of IL6 ( J ), TNFα ( K ), and MCP1 ( L ) mRNA expression levels in mouse liver tissue after NHWD-870 intervention. Each time point of endotoxemia model were divided into 3 groups: vehicle (n=5), NHWD-870 (n=5), JQ1 (n=5). (A and B) showed survival study using 15 mg/kg LPS (lethal dose); (C–L) showed mechanistic study using 7.5 mg/kg LPS (sublethal dose) to enable tissue collection at 12h and 24h. Different doses were selected based on distinct experimental objectives as detailed in Methods. Data are presented as mean ± SD. (*p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001).
