Role of inflammasomes in Toxoplasma and Plasmodium infections
Parasites & VectorsBackground The detection of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) by multimeric protein complexes, known as inflammasomes, triggers an inflammatory response, which is a critical component of the ...

The crystal-induced activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes in atherosclerosis
Inflammation and Regeneration, 2017 Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease, which is accompanied by the deposition of cholesterol-rich lipids and the infiltration of macrophages. Other well-known features of atherosclerotic lesions include the deposition of cholesterol crystals and ...

Inflammasomes cross-talk with lymphocytes to connect the innate and adaptive immune response
Journal of Advanced Research, 2023 Background: Innate and adaptive immunity are two different parts of the immune system that have different characteristics and work together to provide immune protection. Inflammasomes are a major part of the innate immune system that are expressed widely

Emerging Roles of Inflammasomes in Cardiovascular Diseases
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Cardiovascular diseases are known as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As an innate immune signaling complex, inflammasomes can be activated by various cardiovascular risk factors and regulate the activation of caspase-1 and the ...

Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2014 Inflammasomes are large cytosolic multiprotein complexes that assemble in response to detection of infection- or stress-associated stimuli and lead to the activation of caspase-1-mediated inflammatory responses, including cleavage and unconventional secretion of the leaderless proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, and initiation of an inflammatory

Immunology, 2020 SummaryThe NOD‐like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6), a member of the NOD‐like receptor (NLR) family, acts as a cytosolic innate immune sensor that recognizes microbe‐associated molecular patterns. In some circumstances upon activation, NLRP6 recruits the adaptor apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein (ASC) and the inflammatory ...

Updating the NLRC4 Inflammasome: from Bacterial Infections to Autoimmunity and Cancer
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Inflammasomes comprise a family of cytosolic multi-protein complexes that modulate the activation of cysteine-aspartate-specific protease 1 (caspase-1) and promote the maturation and secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, leading to an inflammatory ...
