Aim: Ginkgolide B (GB) has shown neuroprotective effect in treating ischemic stroke,related to its property of anti-inflammation. Nevertheless, it is unclear whether GB is able tomodulate microglia/macrophage polarization, which has recently been proven to be vital inthe pathology of ischemic stroke. Methods: We performed transient middle cerebral arteryocclusion (tMCAO) on C57BL/6J male mice and induced cultured BV2 microglia and primarybone marrow-derived macrophages to be M1/2 phenotype by LPS+ interferon-c andIL-4, respectively. Immunofluorescence and flow cytometry were used for detecting thespecialized protein expression of M1/2, such as CD206 and CD16/32. qPCR was utilized todetect the signature gene change of M1/2. Results: GB significantly reduced cerebralischemic damage and ameliorated the neurological deficits of mice after tMCAO. Moreimportantly, our experiments proved that GB promoted microglia/macrophage transferringfrom inflammatory M1 phenotype to a protective, anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype in vivoor vitro. CV3988 and silencing the platelet activator factor (PAF) receptor by siRNA demonstratedthat PAF receptor was involved in the modulation of microglia/macrophage polarization.Conclusion: Our results reveal a novel pharmacological effect of GB in modulatingmicroglia/macrophage polarization after tMCAO, thus deepening our understanding ofneuroprotective mechanisms of GB in treatment of ischemic stroke. Furthermore, this newmechanism may allow GB to be used in many other microglia/macrophage polarizationrelatedinflammatory diseases.
