Neurodevelopment is characterized by rapid rates of neural cell proliferation and differentiation followed by a period of massive cell death where over half of all recently generated brain cells are pruned back. Large amounts of DNA damage, cellular debris, and byproducts of cellular stress are generated during these neurodevelopmental events, all of which can potentially activate immune signaling. How the immune response to this collateral damage influences brain maturation and function currently remains poorly understood. Here we show that the AIM2 inflammasome contributes to proper brain development and that disruptions in this immune sensor of genotoxic stress lead to behavioral abnormalities. The AIM2 inflammasome has been most extensively studied in the context of infection, where its activation in response to double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) is known to trigger cytokine production as well as a Gasdermin-D-mediated form of cell death commonly referred to as pyroptosis. We observe pronounced AIM2 inflammasome activation in neurodevelopment and find that defects in this DNA damage surveillance sensor result in anxiety-related behaviors. We further show that the AIM2 inflammasome contributes to central nervous system (CNS) homeostasis specifically through its regulation of the cell death executioner Gasdermin-D, and not via its involvement in IL-1 and/or IL-18 production. Consistent with a role for this sensor of genomic stress in the purging of genetically compromised CNS cells, we find that defective AIM2 inflammasome signaling results in decreased neural cell death both in response to DNA damage-inducing agents and during neurodevelopment. Moreover, we report that disruptions in DNA damage surveillance by the AIM2 inflammasome lead to excessive DNA damage accumulation in neurons as well as increased numbers of neurons that incorporate into the adult brain. Our findings identify the inflammasome as a critical player in establishing a properly formed CNS through its role in the removal of genetically compromised cells.
