The NLRP3 inflammasome exhibits circadian oscillations regulated by BMAL1-dependent acetylation. Selective microglial targeting of NLRP3 via MCC950 or targeted nanobodies can modulate the inflammatory arm of microglial circadian pathways without affecting neuronal circadian machinery. MCC950 provides a potent, selective inhibitor with proven efficacy in EAE, AD, and ALS models.

The miR-132/212 cluster is a well-established circadian modulator driven by CREB activity. Exosome-mediated delivery of miR-132 mimics engineered with microglial-binding peptides can target microglial BMAL1/CLOCK downstream effectors. miR-132 may suppress REV-ERBα, leading to disinhibition of Bmal1 transcription and enhancement of microglial circadian rhythmicity.
