Targeting glial cell pyroptosis and neuroinflammation in post-stroke depression: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic strategies.
Review in Frontiers in immunology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Post-stroke depression (PSD) represents a prevalent and debilitating sequela following cerebrovascular accidents, with its underlying pathophysiology intricately linked to neuroinflammatory processes. Emerging evidence implicates glial cell pyroptosis depending on Caspase-gasdermin D (Casp-GSDMD), orchestrated by the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-mediated inflammatory cascades, as a central mechanism in PSD pathogenesis. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the molecular mechanisms governing glial cell pyroptosis and its dual role in PSD. Specifically, ischemia and hypoxia induce mitochondrial dysfunction and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, thereby promoting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-1β and IL-18, via the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD axis. This subsequently exacerbates neuroinflammation and disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. Furthermore, aberrant activation of pyroptosis-related molecules can trigger neuronal death and impair synaptic plasticity, directly contributing to depressive symptoms. Consequently, therapeutic interventions targeting key nodes within the pyroptosis pathway, such as NLRP3, Caspase-1/4/11, and GSDMD, hold considerable promise, encompassing small molecule inhibitors, natural compounds, and combination therapies. This review synthesizes the multifaceted mechanisms of glial cell pyroptosis in PSD, highlighting the unique therapeutic potential of targeting the pyroptosis pathway to enhance post-stroke neurorepair and mitigate emotional disturbances. These findings may facilitate the identification of novel therapeutic targets and strategies for the diagnosis and management of PSD.
