Background: We aimed to explore catalpol and NF-k. The role of antidepressant and anti-inflammatory effects of b inhibitor in depression induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). Methods: Under the guidance of Qiqihar Medical University, from January 2020 to January 2021, the weight, sucrose consumption and rest time of mice during swimming were monitored, the neurobehavioral changes of rats under CUMS were used to determine the experimental model; ELISA detection of iNOS, ROS, caspase-1, IL-1 β And IL-18 expression level; Western blotting detection of TLR4, MAPK and NF-κB expression level; LPS-induced cell model. INOS, NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1 in RT-qPCR and ELISA detection models β And IL-18 expression level;the TLR4, MAPK and NF-κB level were detected by Western blotting. Results: CUMS can make rats lose weight, reduce sucrose consumption rate and prolong rest time. Catapol can enhance this effect; In the depression model, ROS, NLRP3, NF-κ B and iNOS were up-regulated Catalpol group MAPK, NF-κ Reduced expression of B and TLR4; ROS, caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18 and iNOS protein increased. Cell model group TLR4, MAPK and NF-κ. The high protein content of B decreased in catalpol group. Conclusion: Catalpol acts as anti-depressant and anti-inflammatory molecule indepression induced by CUMS. Combination of catalpol with NF-κB inhibitor might play a role in the treatment of depression through regulating the neuroinflammation.
