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.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The NLRP3 inflammasome plays a critical role in the innate immune response, and its excessive activation will cause pyroptotic cell death and be associated with the onset of inflammatory diseases. However, NLRP3 inflammasome targeting therapies are still

Inflammasome activation at the crux of severe COVID-19
Nature reviews. Immunology, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), results in life-threatening disease in a minority of patients, especially elderly people and those with co-morbidities such as obesity and diabetes.

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 ...

Parasite excretory-secretory products and their effects on metabolic syndrome [PDF]
, 2017 Obesity, one of the main causes of metabolic syndrome (MetS), is an increasingly common health and economic problem worldwide, and one of the major risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Chronic, low-grade inflammation is

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).

Suppression of Inflammasome Activation by IRF8 and IRF4 in cDCs Is Critical for T Cell Priming
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Inflammasome activation leads to pyroptotic cell death, thereby eliminating the replicative niche of virulent pathogens. Although inflammasome-associated cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 have an established role in T cell function, whether inflammasome

Tivantinib alleviates inflammatory diseases by directly targeting NLRP3
iScience, 2023 Summary: NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of multiple inflammatory diseases, but few clinical drugs are identified that directly target the NLRP3 inflammasome to treat these diseases to date.
