Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
, 2019 For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

NLRP2 controls age-associated maternal fertility [PDF]
, 2016 Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins are well-known for their key roles in the immune system. Ectopically expressed NLRP2 in immortalized cell lines assembles an inflammasome and inhibits activation of the proinflammatory ...

ASC filament formation serves as a signal amplification mechanism for inflammasomes [PDF]
, 2016 A hallmark of inflammasome activation is the ASC speck, a micrometre-sized structure formed by the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), which consists of a pyrin domain (PYD) and a caspase ...

Emerging mechanisms and functions of inflammasome complexes in teleost fish
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes, which are assembled in response to a diverse range of exogenous pathogens and endogenous danger signals, leading to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and induce pyroptotic cell death.

Glyburide inhibits the Cryopyrin/Nalp3 inflammasome [PDF]
, 2009 Inflammasomes activate caspase-1 for processing and secretion of the cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-18. Cryopyrin/NALP3/NLRP3 is an essential component of inflammasomes triggered by microbial ligands, danger-associated molecular patterns

Kidney surveillance in the spotlight: contrast-induced acute kidney injury illuminated [PDF]
, 2018 Acute kidney injury comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function over hours to days. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is caused by radiographic contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging.

The AIM2 inflammasome is activated in astrocytes during the late phase of EAE
JCI Insight, 2022 Inflammasomes are a class of innate immune signaling platforms that activate in response to an array of cellular damage and pathogens. Inflammasomes promote inflammation under many circumstances to enhance immunity against pathogens and inflammatory ...

AIM2 and NLRC4 inflammasomes contribute with ASC to acute brain injury independently of NLRP3 [PDF]
, 2015 Inflammation that contributes to acute cerebrovascular disease is driven by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1 and is known to exacerbate resulting injury.
