Proteomic study of baicalein effects on LPS-primed BV2 microglia

To comprehensively study the intracellular signaling changes and explore the underlying mechanisms of baicalein-mediated microglial responses, we employed systemic proteomic approach, using target-free SWATH mass spectra (SWATH-MS), focusing on intracellular proteins. BV2 cells were treated with LPS followed by the addition of vehicle or baicalein and they were cultured for a total of 48 hours before being collected for proteomic analysis.
