N2 - Pupurpose of the study: Oxidative stress has been reported to be an important mechanism for brain damage following ischemic stroke. Recently, the involvement of cytosolic receptors capable of forming protein complexes called inflammasomes has been demonstrated to perpetuate oxidative stress. Herein, we report the effect of NLRP3 inhibition with MCC950 on brain oxidative stress in an animal model of transient global cerebral ischemia.Materials and methods: Male Wistar rats received an intracerebroventricularly (icv) injection of MCC950 (140 ng/kg) or saline and were subjected to sham procedure or ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Twenty-four hours after I/R, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, nitrite/nitrate (N/N) concentration, lipid peroxidation, protein carbonyls formation, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity were determined in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, cortex, cerebellum and striatum. Results: After I/R, MPO activity increased in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, cortex and cerebellum and N/N concentration elevated in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and cortex, while MCC950 decreased this level except in hippocampus. After I/R, lipid peroxidation enhanced in the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum and increased the oxidative protein damage in both structures and hippocampus. MCC950 decreased lipid peroxidation in the prefrontal cortex and decreased protein oxidative damage in all brain structures except in the striatum. SOD activity decreased in the cortex after I/R and MCC950 reestablished these levels. CAT activity decreased in the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum after I/R and MCC950 reestablished these levels in the prefrontal cortex.Conclusion: Our data provide novel demonstration that inhibiting NLRP3 activation with MCC950 reduces brain oxidative damage after cerebral I/R in rats.
