trans-Cinnamaldehyde Inhibits Microglial Activation and Improves Neuronal Survival against Neuroinflammation in BV2 Microglial Cells with Lipopolysaccharide Stimulation

Effects of TCA on LPS-induced morphological alteration in BV2 cells. Immunostaining of BV2 cells was performed by using anti-CD11b monoclonal antibody (red) in the presence of DAPI (blue). Staining was visualized under a fluorescence microscopy. Magnification is 20x and scale bar is 100 μm. Insets show high-magnification representative BV2 cells. Control: untreated BV2 cells. Treatment condition: TCA: TCA (10 μM) treatment alone. LPS: LPS (0.1 μg/ml) stimulation alone. LPS + TCA: combined treatment of LPS (0.1 μg/ml) and TCA (10 μM).
