The NLRP3 inflammasome: a potential therapeutic target for traumatic brain injury.

Although the precise mechanisms contributing to secondary brain injury following traumatic brain injury are complex and obscure, a number of studies have demonstrated that inflammatory responses are an obvious and early feature in the pathogenesis of traumatic brain injury. Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that prompt the stimulation of caspase-1 and subsequently induce the maturation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. These cytokines play a pivotal role in facilitating innate immune responses and inflammation.
