AP-1 signaling pathway promotes pro-IL-1β transcription to facilitate NLRP3 inflammasome activation upon influenza A virus infection

open access: yesVirulence, 2022
NLRP3 inflammasome mainly controls interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion, leading to cell death called pyroptosis constituting a major antiviral host defense and inflammatory diseases upon viral infection.

Colchicine therapy in acute coronary syndrome patients acts on caspase-1 to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome monocyte activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Inflammasome activation, with subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, has recently been implicated in atherosclerosis-associated inflammation. This study aims to assess in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients (

Cytoprotective Activated Protein C Averts Nlrp3 Inflammasome–Induced Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Via Mtorc1 Inhibition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cytoprotection by activated protein C (aPC) after ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is associated with apoptosis inhibition. However, IRI is hallmarked by inflammation, and hence, cell-death forms disjunct from immunologically silent apoptosis are, in ...

The AIM2 inflammasome is critical for innate immunity to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, infects host macrophages, which triggers production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. We elucidate here how host macrophages recognize F.

Deubiquitination and Activation of the NLRP3 Inflammasome by UCHL5 in HCV-Infected Cells

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2021
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection induces liver inflammation that can lead to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Inflammation is the outcome of the action of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including interleukin-1 ...

Lentinan from shiitake selectively attenuates AIM2 and non-canonical inflammasome activation while inducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Lentinan extracted from shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is a β-glucan that has been reported as an intravenous anti-tumor polysaccharide via enhancement of the host immune system. In this study, we determined the effect of lentinan on inflammasome activation,

Kidney surveillance in the spotlight: contrast-induced acute kidney injury illuminated [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Acute kidney injury comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function over hours to days. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is caused by radiographic contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging.

Distinct Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Potassium Efflux for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a core component of innate immunity, and dysregulation of NLRP3 inflammasome involves developing autoimmune, metabolic, and neurodegenerative diseases.

The CARD8 T60 variant associates with NLRP1 and negatively regulates its activation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
The NLRP1 inflammasome functions as canonical cytosolic sensor in response to intracellular infections and is implicated in auto-inflammatory diseases. But the regulation and signal transduction mechanisms of NLRP1 are incompletely understood.

Inflammasomes and autoimmunity [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Molecular Medicine, 2011
The NOD-like receptor (NLR) family members are cytosolic sensors of microbial components and danger signals. A subset of NLRs control inflammasome assembly that results in caspase-1 activation and, in turn, IL-1β and IL-18 production. Excessive inflammasome activation can cause autoinflammatory disorders, including the hereditary periodic fevers ...
