Overexpression of NLRC3 enhanced inhibition effect of sevoflurane on inflammation in an ischaemia reperfusion cell model.
2020
Brain ischaemia is one of the leading causes of mortality and disability worldwide, and the damage caused by ischaemia not only induces primary damage but also that induced by ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Multiple processes including inflammation and oxidative stress response play important roles in the development of brain ischaemia injury. Sevoflurane is a well-known volatile anaesthetic, and a recent study discovered the role of sevoflurane in suppression of the inflammation response process via inhibition of inflammatory infiltrates and production, maintaining the balance of cytokine responses, although the possible mechanism was not fully clear. NLRC3 is a member of the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat containing (NLR) family, and it has been regarded as a regulator of the inflammation process via the regulation of inflammasome formation, which is an initiator of inflammatory events. In the present study, we found that overexpression of NLRC3 reduced the apoptosis in a cellular model of ischaemia reperfusion, and the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines was also decreased. Further study found that these effects might be mediated by the TRAF6/TLR4/NF-kB signalling pathway. Thus, we speculate that overexpression might enhance the effect of sevoflurane in inhibiting the inflammatory response process in an ischaemia reperfusion model, which might be a new therapeutic strategy.
