PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to determine whether either a hyperosmotic or oxidative stress induces NLRP3 inflammasome activation and increases in bioactive IL-1 beta secretion through transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) activation in primary human corneal epithelial cells (PHCECs).METHODS. Real-time PCR, Western blots, and immunofluorescent staining were used to evaluate TRPM2 and NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1 beta mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. A CCK-8 assay evaluated cell viability. Hyperosmotic 500 mOsm and oxidative 0.5 mM H2O2 stresses were imposed. TRPM2 expression was inhibited with a TRPM2 inhibitor, 20 lM N-(p-amylcinnamoyl) anthranilic acid (ACA), or TRPM2 siRNA knockdown.RESULTS. In the hypertonic medium, TRPM2, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1 beta gene and protein expression levels rose after 4 hours (P
