Background: Kinins are pro-inflammatory peptides that mediate numerous vascular and pain responses in tissue injury. Kinins exert their biological functions via two G-protein-coupled receptors: Bradykinin 1 Receptor (B1R) and Bradykinin 2 Receptor (B2R). We previously demonstrated the up-regulation of B2R after Hypoxia/Reoxygenation (H/R) injury in primary cultured cortical neurons. However, the role of B2R in inflammasome-induced pyroptosis remains unknown.Methods: We induced H/R neuronal injury in primary cultured cortical neurons harvested from embryonic day 17 brains. Next, we examined the neuroprotective function of B2R in H/R-induced neuronal apoptosis or necrosis using an annexin V FITC/Propidium Iodide (PI) double-staining technique. The pyroptosis signaling cascade, including caspase-1, IL-1 beta and IL-18 levels and Cleaved Gasdermin D (GSDMD) expression was examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blotting to explore the underlying molecular mechanism.Results: H/R injury significantly increased B2R protein expression (P
