Molecular Immunology, 2017 Innate immune responses act as first line defences upon exposure to potentially noxious stimuli. The innate immune system has evolved numerous intracellular and extracellular receptors that undertake surveillance for potentially damaging particulates.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the host cell inflammasome: a complex relationship.
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2013 The production of IL-1β during the infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is important for successful host immune defense. In macrophages and dendritic cells the host cell inflammasome is crucial for generation of secreted IL-1β in response to ...

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

Atheroma and the inflammasome [PDF]
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2015 Atherosclerosis is a ubiquitous disorder that begins in childhood. An autopsy study of 2,876 adolescents and young adults (ages 15-34) who died of external causes found fatty streaks in the aorta of 100% of subjects, and in the right coronary artery in half the subjects. The number and extent of lesions increased with age.

Distinct Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Potassium Efflux for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation
Frontiers 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.

Inflammasomes and Their Activation [PDF]
Critical Reviews™ in Immunology, 2010 The innate immune system relies on the recognition of pathogens by pattern recognition receptors as a first line of defense and to initiate the adaptive immune response. Substantial progress has been made in defining the role of Nod (nucleotide-binding oligimerization domain)-like receptors and AIM2 (absent in melanoma 2) as pattern recognition ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Anthrax and the inflammasome [PDF]
Microbes and Infection, 2012 Anthrax lethal toxin (LT), a major virulence determinant of anthrax disease, induces vascular collapse in mice and rats. LT activates the Nlrp1 inflammasome in macrophages and dendritic cells, resulting in caspase-1 activation, IL-1β and IL-18 maturation and a rapid cell death (pyroptosis).

PANoptosis in the pathogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.PANoptosis, a combination of three types of programmed cell death, is mediated by a large protein complex called a PANoptosome. In healthy bone marrow hematopoietic cells, PANoptosis is restricted by inhibitory signaling. In MDS, bone marrow cells become sensitive to the PANoptotic stimuli due to the aberrant inactivation of inhibitory signaling or ...

Inflammasomes and dermatology [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016 Inflammasomes are intracellular multiprotein complexes that comprise part of the innate immune response. Since their definition, inflammasome disorders have been linked to an increasing number of diseases. Autoinflammatory diseases refer to disorders in which local factors lead to the activation of innate immune cells, causing tissue damage when in the
