Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2014 Inflammasomes are large cytosolic multiprotein complexes that assemble in response to detection of infection- or stress-associated stimuli and lead to the activation of caspase-1-mediated inflammatory responses, including cleavage and unconventional secretion of the leaderless proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, and initiation of an inflammatory

Molecules, 2021 In recent years, the interplay between the activation of the immune system, the development of chronic inflammation and the onset and progression of many different diseases has been studied extensively [...]

Immunology, 2021 SummaryInflammasomes are generally thought of as large protein complexes that assemble in the cytosol in response to danger such as tissue damage or infection; once activated, they trigger production of inflammatory cytokines and drive cells towards a pro‐inflammatory death – termed pyroptosis.

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2018 In this issue of JEM, Boucher et al. (https://doi.org/10.1084/jem.20172222) report isolation of active caspase-1 from macrophages after inflammasome activation. Surprisingly, they find that caspase-1 is quickly inactivated upon autoproteolytic processing.

Cell, 2010 Inflammasomes are molecular platforms activated upon cellular infection or stress that trigger the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1beta to engage innate immune defenses. Strong associations between dysregulated inflammasome activity and human heritable and acquired inflammatory diseases highlight the importance this pathway

Kynurenic acid ameliorates NLRP3 inflammasome activation by blocking calcium mobilization via GPR35
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 The inflammasome has been linked to diverse inflammatory and metabolic diseases, and tight control of inflammasome activation is necessary to avoid excessive inflammation. Kynurenic acid (KA) is a tryptophan metabolite in the kynurenine pathway. However,

Reactive oxygen species regulate caspase-11 expression and activation of the non-canonical NLRP3 inflammasome during enteric pathogen infection [PDF]
, 2014 Enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic bacterial infections in humans are a severe cause of morbidity and mortality. Although NOD-like receptors (NLRs) NOD2 and NLRP3 have important roles in the generation of protective immune responses to enteric ...

Inflammasomes, the eye and anti-inflammasome therapy [PDF]
Eye, 2017 Inflammasomes, key molecular regulators that play an important role in inflammation, consist of a central protein, an adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis speck-like protein) and a caspase-1 protein. Upon activation, caspase-1 induces maturation of cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18).

NLRP3 Sensing of Diverse Inflammatory Stimuli Requires Distinct Structural Features
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 The NLRP3 inflammasome is central to host defense and implicated in various inflammatory diseases and conditions. While the favored paradigm of NLRP3 inflammasome activation stipulates a unifying signal intermediate that de-represses NLRP3, this view has
