| Abstract |
The present study aimed to investigate the effect of APAP treatment on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the astrocytes. The mouse astrocyte cells (C8-D1A) were treated with APAP at the concentration of 100 μM for 24 h, 16 and 28 days. The expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and NF-kB were determined using western blot analysis. Furthermore, the expression and localization of phosphorylation of NF-kB were detected by immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent analysis. The ultrastructure of C8-D1A cells was as well monitored. The results revealed that acute APAP treatment (24 h) had no effect on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and pNF-kB. This treatment did not alter the ultrastructure of C8-D1A cells when compared with those in the control cells. However, the results obtained from the study on chronic APAP-treated cells (16 and 28 days) showed the different effect of APAP treatment. The results obtained from western blot analysis showed the increment of pro-inflammatory cytokine (IL-1β and TNF-α) expressions and the activation of NF-kB signaling pathway. Nuclear translocation of pNF-kB and alteration of several cell structures were well observed in the C8-D1A cells with chronic APAP treatment. The results obtained from this study suggest that chronic APAP treatment can induce an upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNFα) in astrocytes. This alteration implies the involvement of the activation of NF-kB signaling pathway. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 October 2019.
All research outputs
#15,380,162
of 22,880,691 outputs
Outputs from Neurotoxicity Research
#539
of 883 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#272,979
of 445,348 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Neurotoxicity Research
#14
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,880,691 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 883 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.3. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 445,348 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 17th percentile – i.e., 17% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
