Neuroinflammation significantly contributes to brain injury and neurological deterioration following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). MicroRNA-152(miR-152) was reported to be downregulated in ICH patients and to possess and-inflammatory properties in other diseases. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of miR-152 in ICH, and the underlying mechanisms, using a collagenase-induced rat ICH model and hemin-exposure as a cell model. We first confirmed that miR-152 was consistently downregulated in both models. Overexpression of miR-152 in microglial BV2 cells reduced hernin-induced inflammatory response and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thus protecting co-cultured neuronal HT22 cells. Moreover, overexpression of miR-152 by intracerebroventricular lentivirus injection in ICH rats significantly alleviated neurodecifits, brain edema, and hematoma. These changes were associated with a marked reduction in ICH-induced neuronal death, as detected by co-staining of NeuN and TUNEL, and ICH-induced neuroinflammation, as revealed by inflammatory cytokine levels as well as by the number of Iba1 positive-stained cells in the perihematomal region. Mechanistically, miR-152 significantly inhibited ICH-induced TXNIP expression, and its overexpression blocked the interaction between TXNIP and NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3), thus inhibiting NLRP3-driven inflammasome activation to attenuate neuroinflammation in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, the results of si-TXNIP transfection further confirmed that TXNIP inhibition was involved in the reduction of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by the overexpression of miR-152. Collectively, the present study demonstrates that miR-152 confers protection against ICH-induced neuroinflammation and brain injury by inhibiting TXNIP-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation, indicating a potential strategy for ICH treatment.
