Traumatic brain injury (TBI) elicits acute inflammation that in turn exacerbates primary brain damage. A crucial part of innate immunity in the immune privileged central nervous system involves production of proinflammatory cytokines mediated by inflammasome signaling. Here we show that the nucleotide-binding, leucine-rich repeat pyrin domain containing protein 1 (NLRP1) inflammasome consisting of NLRP1, caspases-1 and -11, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (ASC), the X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and pannexin 1 is expressed in neurons of the cerebral cortex. Moderate parasagittal fluid percussion injury (FPI) induced processing of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), activation of caspase-1, cleavage of XIAP and promoted assembly of the NLRP1 inflammasome complex. Anti-ASC neutralizing antibodies administered immediately after FPI to injured rats reduced caspase-1 activation, XIAP cleavage and processing of IL-1β resulting in a significant decrease in contusion volume. These studies show that the NLRP1 inflammasome constitutes an important component of the innate CNS inflammatory response after TBI and may be a novel therapeutic target for reducing the damaging effects of post-traumatic brain inflammation.
