Quercetin Alleviates the Progression of Breast Cancer-Related Depression via Inhibiting the Pyroptosis and Promoting the Immune Response

Figure 5

Quercetin alleviated neuron injury and depressive behavior in BCRD mice. (a) The sugar preference rate of mice was detected. (b) The immobility time was recorded after the forced swimming test. (c) The immobility time was recorded after the tail suspension test. (d–f) ASC, NLRP3, and caspase-1 levels in neurons were assessed by RT-qPCR. (g–j) NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1 levels in neurons were investigated by western blot. β-Actin was applied for quantification. (k–m) The contents of 5-HT, DA, and NE in mice were detected by ELISA. compared with control. # compared with BCRD ().
