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).

Bone matrix components activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and promote osteoclast differentiation [PDF]
, 2017 The NLRP3 inflammasome senses a variety of signals referred to as danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including those triggered by crystalline particulates or degradation products of extracellular matrix. Since some DAMPs confer tissue-specific

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 ...

Peroxynitrite activates the NLRP3 inflammasome cascade in SOD1(G93A) mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
, 2017 Neuroinflammation, characterized by the appearance of reactive microglial and astroglial cells, is one of the several pathogenic mechanisms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fast-progressing and fatal neurodegenerative disease.

Lactic Acid Fermentation Is Required for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Activation of the Nod-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is important for activation of innate immune responses, but improper and excessive activation can cause inflammatory disease.

Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
, 2019 For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

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 ...
