NLRP3 and depressive disorder: Our study firstly demonstrated that FMN can rebalance microglia M1/M2 polarization and inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome, with the involvement of activating PPARα-mediated autophagy to ameliorate depression-like behaviors, which provides a novel view to elucidate antidepressant mechanisms of FMN and also offers a potential therapeutic target for depression.
