The concentration of inflammatory factors were detected via ELISA assay. Besides, the representative biomarkers of oxidative stress were measured through detection kits. The ROS production, NLRP3 and GSDMD expression were evaluated by immunofluorescence or immumohistochemical staining. Furthermore, the expression of NF\u2010kBp65 pathway\u2010associated proteins and pyroptosis\u2010associated proteins were detected by western blotting. RWPE\u20101 cells growth and pyroptosis were assessed by CCK\u20108 and flow cytometry, respectively. mRNA levels of pyroptosis markers were detected by qRT\u2010PCR analysis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The CP model in vivo and in vitro was successfully established by carrageenan and LPS\u2010ATP, respectively. Calycosin substantially ameliorated the pathological damage of prostate tissue. Moreover, calycosin treatment promoted RWPE\u20101 cells viability and reduced pyroptosis. Calycosin remarkably reduced the inflammatory factors secretion and oxidative stress markers. Calycosin stimulation effectively suppressed the pyroptosis, which was linked with inactivation of the NF\u2010kBp65 signaling pathway. These beneficial effects of calycosin were similar to the NLRP3 inhibitor (MCC950).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>To sum up, our observations indicated that calycosin protects against CP via suppressing inflammation, oxidative stress, and pyroptosis through NF\u2010kBp65 pathway, thereby serving as a promising therapy for CP treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aji.70084","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,11]],"date-time":"2025-05-11T17:14:38Z","timestamp":1746983678000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Calycosin Protects Against Chronic Prostatitis via Regulating Cellular Pyroptosis"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Heng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lianyungang Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine  Lianyungang China"},{"name":"Nanjing Medical University Kangda College Affiliated Hospital  Lianyungang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhaofei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lianyungang Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine  Lianyungang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangjun","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lianyungang Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine  Lianyungang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haitao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lianyungang Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine  Lianyungang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lianyungang Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine  Lianyungang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-1270-6513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ming","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lianyungang Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine  Lianyungang China"},{"name":"Nanjing Medical University Kangda College Affiliated Hospital  Lianyungang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11934\u2010023\u201001150\u2010z"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","first-page":"45","article-title":"Acute and Chronic Prostatitis","volume":"110","author":"Lam J.
