Scientific 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,

Virulence, 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.

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 ...

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).

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 ...

Complementing the inflammasome [PDF]
Immunology, 2016 SummaryThe innate immune system is an ancient surveillance system able to sense microbial invaders as well as aberrations in normal cell function. No longer viewed as a static and non‐specific part of immunity, the innate immune system employs a plethora of specialized pattern recognition sensors to monitor and achieve homeostasis; these include the ...

Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2022 Two decades of inflammasome research has led to a vast body of knowledge on the complex regulatory mechanisms and pathological roles of canonical and non-canonical inflammasome activation in a plethora of research models of primarily rodent origin. More recently, the field has made notable progress in characterizing human-specific inflammasomes and ...

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

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.
