Inflammasome and Atherogenesis

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease starting with accumulation of lipids, lipoproteins, and immune cells in the arterial wall. Inflammation and the innate immune response are involved in the formation of early atherosclerotic lesion. A protein complex known as the inflammasome is stimulated to activate interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, which are ...

Autophagy and inflammasomes

Molecular Immunology, 2017
Autophagy is a ubiquitous cellular mechanism for the targeted lysosomal degradation of various cytosolic constituents, from proteins to organelles. As an essential homeostatic mechanism, autophagy is upregulated in response to numerous environmental and pharmacological stimuli, including starvation, where it facilitates the recycling of essential amino

Targeting Inflammasomes to Treat Neurological Diseases

Annals of Neurology, 2021
Inflammasomes are multimeric protein complexes that can sense a plethora of microbe‐ and damage‐associated molecular signals. They play important roles in innate immunity and are key regulators of inflammation in health and disease. Inflammasome‐mediated

Taming the inflammasome

Nature Medicine, 2015
The NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in the molecular etiology of multiple autoinflammatory diseases. Two studies identify inhibitors of NLRP3 activation and might pave the way for new treatment options for a variety of diseases.

NLRP6 inflammasome

Molecular Aspects of Medicine, 2020
NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6) is a novel NLR family member, that shows high expression in the intestine and liver (in contrast to NLRP3 in myeloid cells), to regulate inflammation and host defense against microbes. NLRP6 is reported to involved in inflammasome activation, regulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen ...

Inflammasome and Cancer

2018
The current chapter focuses on the role of inflammasome in cancer prevention and development. Emerging evidence suggested that inflammasome is closely correlated with elevated levels of IL-1β and IL-18, activation of NF-κB signaling, enhanced mitochondrial oxidative stress, and activation of autophagic process in cancer.

Canonical Inflammasomes

2023
The innate immune response represents the first line of host defense, and it is able to detect pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs, respectively) through a variety of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Among these PRRs, certain cytosolic receptors of the NLRs family (specifically NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4, and NAIP) or ...

Aging and the Inflammasomes

2018
The inflammasomes are innate immune system sensors that control the activation of caspase-1 and induce inflammation in response to infectious microbes and molecules originating from host proteins, leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, Il1b and IL18, and a particular inflammatory type of cell death termed pyroptosis.

Genetics of Inflammasomes

2018
Mutations in inflammasome genes are responsible for rare monogenic and polygenic autoinflammatory diseases. On the other side, genetic polymorphisms in the same molecules contribute to the development of common multifactorial diseases (i.e., autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular pathologies, cancer).
