Female microglia contain a distinct Trem2highCX3CR1low subset expressing ESR1 (estrogen receptor-alpha). 17beta-estradiol binding to ESR1 promotes NLRP3 ubiquitination and degradation via E3 ligase CHIP/STUB1, preventing ASC speck formation and caspase-1 activation. This autocrine protective mechanism explains attenuated NLRP3-dependent inflammatory responses in females.

In the established paradigm, microglia are primary drivers of neuroinflammation. However, oligodendrocyte-derived IL-6 may prime microglia through IL-6 trans-signaling (IL-6/sIL-6R/gp130), creating a self-reinforcing inflammatory loop. Blocking soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) specifically at the oligodendrocyte-microglia interface would interrupt this amplification circuit without globally suppressing IL-6, preserving its neuroprotective functions. This extends the SASP-complement cascade concept
