Popis: Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) inhibition or Sirt2 knockout in animal models protects against the development of neurodegenerative diseases and cerebral ischemia. However, the role of SIRT2 in traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains unclear. In this study, we found that knockout of Sirt2 in a mouse model of TBI reduced brain edema, attenuated disruption of the blood-brain barrier, decreased expression of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, reduced the activity of the effector caspase-1, reduced neuroinflammation and neuronal pyroptosis, and improved neurological function. Knockout of Sirt2 in a mechanical stretch injury cell model in vitro also decreased expression of the NLRP3 inflammasome and pyroptosis. Our findings suggest that knockout of Sirt2 is neuroprotective against TBI; therefore, Sirt2 could be a novel target for TBI treatment.
