Rapamycin Attenuates High Glucose-Induced Inflammation Through Modulation of mTOR/NF-κB Pathways in Macrophages

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2019
Background: The NLRP3 inflammasome is one of the key contributors to impaired wound healing in diabetes. In this study, we assessed the role of rapamycin on high glucose-induced inflammation in THP-1-derived macrophages and investigated the underlying ...

Inflammasomes and Atherosclerosis

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2016
Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. Inflammasomes play a crucial role in innate immunity, which mediates the body’s response to various pathogens. Of the different types of inflammasomes, NLRP3 has been implicated in atherosclerosis through the production of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18. This review describes the role

Regulatory Mechanisms of the NLRP3 Inflammasome, a Novel Immune-Inflammatory Marker in Cardiovascular Diseases

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
The nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is currently the most widely studied inflammasome and has become a hot topic of recent research. As a macromolecular complex, the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated to produce downstream factors,

Homeostasis of Gut Microbiota Protects against Susceptibility to Fungal Pneumonia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fungal pneumonia induces inflammation, shown by heightened IL‐6, IL‐1β, TNF‐α levels and a growth in Staphylococcus in the alveolar flora. The gut microbiota, acting through the gut‐lung axis via blood, impacts fungal pneumonia susceptibility by altering lung metabolism and inflammatory responses.

Emodin Alleviates Sepsis‐Induced Multiorgan Damage by Inhibiting NETosis through Targeting Neutrophils BCL‐10

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Emodin targets BCL‐10 to modulate the BCL‐10/MALT1 complex, thereby suppressing NF‐κB activation and significantly exerting multiorgan protective effects in sepsis. Abstract Sepsis is a life‐threatening condition caused by dysregulated host responses to infection, characterized by excessive inflammation and abnormal coagulation.
