SummaryIntracerebral hemorrhage usually manifests as strong neuroinflammation and neurological deficits. There is an urgent need to explore effective methods for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage. The therapeutic effect and the possible mechanism of induced neural stem cell transplantation in an intracerebral hemorrhage rat model are still unclear. Our results showed that transplantation of induced neural stem cells could improve neurological deficits by inhibiting inflammation in an intracerebral hemorrhage rat model. Additionally, induced neural stem cell treatment could effectively suppress microglial pyroptosis, which might occur through inhibiting the NF-κB signaling pathway. Induced neural stem cells could also regulate the polarization of microglia and promote the transition of microglia from pro-inflammatory phenotypes to anti-inflammatory phenotypes to exert their anti-inflammatory effects. Overall, induced neural stem cells may be a promising tool for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage and other neuroinflammatory diseases.
