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

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

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).

Immunology, 2020 SummaryThe NOD‐like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6), a member of the NOD‐like receptor (NLR) family, acts as a cytosolic innate immune sensor that recognizes microbe‐associated molecular patterns. In some circumstances upon activation, NLRP6 recruits the adaptor apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein (ASC) and the inflammatory ...

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,

Inflammasomes and Fibrosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Fibrosis is the final common pathway of inflammatory diseases in various organs. The inflammasomes play an important role in the progression of fibrosis as innate immune receptors. There are four main members of the inflammasomes, such as NOD-like receptor protein 1 (NLRP1), NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), NOD-like receptor C4 (NLRC4), and absent ...

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

The Role of the Inflammasome in Heart Failure
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Inflammation promotes the development of heart failure (HF). The inflammasome is a multimeric protein complex that plays an essential role in the innate immune response by triggering the cleavage and activation of the proinflammatory cytokines ...

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.
