C3a/C3aR synergies with TGF-β to promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition of renal tubular epithelial cells via the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2023
Background Complement component 3a and its receptor (C3a/C3aR) and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein-3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contribute to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).

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 ...

TRPV1 channel mediates NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent neuroinflammation in microglia

Cell Death and Disease, 2021
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease in the central nervous system (CNS). The NLRP3 inflammasome is considered an important regulator of immunity and inflammation, both of which play a critical role in MS.

Dihydrotanshinone I Specifically Inhibits NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Protects Against Septic Shock In Vivo

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The abnormal activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is closely related to the occurrence and development of many inflammatory diseases. Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome has been considered an efficient therapy to treat infections.

Inflammasome Activation by ATP Enhances Citrobacter rodentium Clearance through ROS Generation

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background: Nod-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) is an important cytosolic sensor of cellular stress and infection. Once activated, NLRP3 forms a multiprotein complex (inflammasome) that triggers the maturation and secretion of ...

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.

Interaction between the inflammasome and commensal microorganisms in gastrointestinal health and disease

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2021
The inflammasome is a cytosolic multiprotein complex that plays a crucial role in inflammation and cell death. The sensor proteins in the inflammasome complex detect various microbial and endogenous stimuli, leading to subsequent caspase activation.

Of inflammasomes and pathogens – sensing of microbes by the inflammasome

EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2013
Abstract Inflammasomes are signalling platforms that sense a diverse range of microbial products and also a number of stress and damage associated endogenous signals. Inflammasome complexes can be formed by members of the Nod‐like receptor family or the PYHIN family member AIM2.

Glutathione Transferase Omega-1 Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation through NEK7 Deglutathionylation

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic complex sensing phagocytosed material and various damage-associated molecular patterns, triggering production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL)-1β and IL-18 and promoting pyroptosis ...
