Echinacoside attenuates lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in newborn mice via inactivation of NF- κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate the effect of echinacoside (ECH) on acute lung injury (ALI) and the underlying mechanism of action.Methods: The ALI model was established through intranasal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Inhibition of the NLRP3/IL‐1β axis protects against sepsis‐induced cardiomyopathy
Background Septic cardiomyopathy worsens the prognosis of critically ill patients. Clinical data suggest that interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), activated by the NLRP3 inflammasome, compromises cardiac function.

NLRP3 Inflammasome and Its Critical Role in Gynecological Disorders and Obstetrical Complications
Inflammasomes, intracellular, multimeric protein complexes, are assembled when damage signals stimulate nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain receptors (NLRs).

BACKGROUND Protein kinase R (PKR) is implicated in the inflammatory response to bacterial infection while the role of PKR in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the specific PKR inhibitor C16 (C13H8N4OS) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced AKI, and its mechanisms of action ...

Pyroptosis-Mediated Damage Mechanism by Deoxynivalenol in Porcine Small Intestinal Epithelial Cells
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is known as a vomitoxin, which frequently contaminates feedstuffs, such as corn, wheat, and barley. Intake of DON-contaminated feed has been known to cause undesirable effects, including diarrhea, emesis, reduced feed intake ...

Shionone Inhibits Glomerular Fibirosis by Suppressing NLRP3 Related Inflammasome though SESN2-NRF2/HO-1 Pathway [PDF]
Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the most common and serious complication of diabetes mellitus. Shionone (SH), an important triterpenoid compound in the root extract of Aster, might exert a protective effect in DN mice and high glucose cultivated ...

Novel role of PKR in inflammasome activation and HMGB1 release [PDF]
The inflammasome regulates release of caspase activation-dependent cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-18, and high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)1-5. During the course of studying HMGB1 release mechanisms, we discovered an important role of double-stranded RNA
