ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
It has been reported activation of NLRP3 inflammasome after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) ictus exacerbates neuroinflammation and brain injury. We hypothesized that inhibition of NLRP3 by OLT1177 (dapansutrile), a novel NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor, could reduce brain edema and attenuate brain injury in experimental ICH.METHODS:
ICH was induced by injection of autologous blood into basal ganglia in mice models. Sixty-three C57Bl/6 male mice were randomly grouped into the sham, vehicle, OLT1177 (Dapansutrile, 200 mg/kg intraperitoneally) and treated for consecutive three days, starting from 1 h after ICH surgery. Behavioral test, brain edema, brain water content, blood-brain barrier integrity and vascular permeability, cell apoptosis, and NLRP3 and its downstream protein levels were measured.RESULTS:
OLT1177 significantly reduced cerebral edema after ICH and contributed to the attenuation of neurological deficits. OLT1177 could preserve blood-brain barrier integrity and lessen vascular leakage. In addition, OLT1177 preserved microglia morphological shift and significantly inhibited the activation of caspase-1 and release of IL-1ß. We also found that OLT1177 can protect against neuronal loss in the affected hemisphere.CONCLUSIONS:
OLT1177 (dapansutrile) could significantly attenuate the brain edema after ICH and effectively alleviate the neurological deficit. This result suggests that the novel NLRP3 inhibitor, OLT1177, might serve as a promising candidate for the treatment of ICH.Palabras clave
