Microglial NLRP3-gasdermin D activation impairs blood-brain barrier integrity through interleukin-1β-independent neutrophil chemotaxis upon peripheral inflammation in mice by Sung-Hyun Yoon, Chae youn Kim, Eunju Lee, Changjun Lee, Kyung-Seo Lee, Jaeho Lee, Hana Park, Bokeum Choi, Inhwa Hwang, Junhan Kim, Tae-Gyun Kim, Junghyun Son, Young-Min Hyun, Seunghee Hong, Je-Wook Yu

“…Instead, microglial NLRP3-GSDMD axis upregulates CXCL chemokines and matrix metalloproteinases around BBB via producing GDF-15, promoting the recruitment of CXCR2-containing neutrophils. Inhibition of neutrophil infiltration and matrix metalloproteinase activity significantly reduces NLRP3-mediated BBB impairment. …”
