Objective:Inflammation plays a critical role in secondary brain damage after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).However,the mechanisms of inflammatory injury following ICH are still unclear,particularly the involvement of NLRP3 inflammasome,which are crucial to sterile inflammatory responses.In this study,we aim to test the hypothesis that NLRP3 signaling pathway takes a vital position in ICH-induced secondary inflammatory damage and detect the role of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid receptor 1 (NMDAR1) in this progress.Methods:ICH was induced in mice by microinjection of hemin into the striatum.The protein levels of NMDAR1,NMDAR1 phosphorylation,NLRP3 and IL-1β were measured by West blot.The binding of NMDAR1 to NLRP3 was detected by immunoprecipitation.Results:The expression of NMDAR1,NMDAR1 phosphorylation,NLRP3 and IL-1 β were rapidly increased after ICH.Hemin treatment enhanced NMDAR1 expression and NMDAR1 phosphorylation,as well in cultured microglial cells treated by hemin.Hemin up-regulated NLRP3 and IL-1β level,which was reversed by MK801 (NMDAR antagonist) in vitro.Hemin also promoted the binding of NMDAR1 to NLRP3.Conclusion:Our findings suggest that NMDAR1 plays a pivotal role in hemin-induced NLRP3-mediated inflammatory damage through synergistic activation.
