NPAS4 Exacerbates Pyroptosis via Transcriptionally Regulating NLRP6 in the Acute Phase of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Mice

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe cerebrovascular disease with a high disability rate and high mortality, and pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death in the acute phase of ICH. Neuronal Per-Arnt-Sim domain protein 4 (Npas4) is a specific transcription factor highly expressed in the ne...

description Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe cerebrovascular disease with a high disability rate and high mortality, and pyroptosis is a type of programmed cell death in the acute phase of ICH. Neuronal Per-Arnt-Sim domain protein 4 (Npas4) is a specific transcription factor highly expressed in the nervous system, yet the role of NPAS4 in ICH-induced pyroptosis is not fully understood. NLR family Pyrin-domain-containing 6 (NLRP6), a new member of the Nod-like receptor family, aggravates pyroptosis via activating cysteine protease-1 (Caspase-1) and Caspase-11. In this study, we found that NPAS4 was upregulated in human and mouse peri-hematoma brain tissues and peaked at approximately 24 h after ICH modeling. Additionally, NPAS4 knockdown improved neurologic dysfunction and brain damage induced by ICH in mice after 24 h. Meanwhile, inhibiting NPAS4 expression reduced the levels of myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive cells and Caspase-1/TUNEL-double-positive cells and decreased cleaved Caspase-1, cleaved Caspase-11, and N-terminal GSDMD levels. Consistently, NPAS4 overexpression reversed the above alternations after ICH in the mice. Moreover, NPAS4 could interact with the Nlrp6 promoter region (−400–−391 bp and −33–−24 bp) and activate the transcription of Nlrp6. Altogether, our study demonstrated that NPAS4, as a transcription factor, can exacerbate pyroptosis and transcriptionally activate NLRP6 in the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage in mice.
