Inflammasomes and Cancer [PDF]
Cancer Immunology Research, 2017 Abstract Inflammation affects all stages of tumorigenesis. A key signaling pathway leading to acute and chronic inflammation is through activation of the caspase-1 inflammasome. Inflammasome complexes are assembled on activation of certain nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat–containing proteins (NLR), AIM2-like receptors, or ...

IL-1R and inflammasomes mediate early pulmonary protective mechanisms in respiratory brucella abortus infection [PDF]
, 2016 Brucella spp. infection is frequently acquired through contaminated aerosols. The role of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the early pulmonary response to respiratory Brucella infection is unknown.

IKKα negatively regulates ASC-dependent inflammasome activation. [PDF]
, 2014 The inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that activate caspase-1 in response to infections and stress, resulting in the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

Bone matrix components activate the NLRP3 inflammasome and promote osteoclast differentiation [PDF]
, 2017 The NLRP3 inflammasome senses a variety of signals referred to as danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), including those triggered by crystalline particulates or degradation products of extracellular matrix. Since some DAMPs confer tissue-specific

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

Role of inflammasomes in neuroinflammation after ischemic stroke [PDF]
Encephalitis, 2021 Ischemic stroke is a devastating disease for which there is no effective medical treatment. In the era of extensive reperfusion strategies, established neuroprotectant candidates and novel therapeutic drugs with better targets are promising for treatment

Nlrp6 promotes recovery after peripheral nerve injury independently of inflammasomes [PDF]
, 2015 Background: NOD-like receptors (Nlrs) are key regulators of immune responses during infection and autoimmunity. A subset of Nlrs assembles inflammasomes, molecular platforms that are activated in response to endogenous danger and microbial ligands and ...
