Paeoniflorin mitigates PBC-induced liver fibrosis by repressing NLRP3 formation
Purpose: To delve into the influence of paeoniflorin (PA) on abating primary biliary cholangitis (PBC)-induced liver fibrosis and its causative role. Methods: Our team allocated the mice to control group, PA group, PBC group and PBC+PA group.

Glucose-Insulin-Potassium Alleviates Intestinal Mucosal Barrier Injuries Involving Decreased Expression of Uncoupling Protein 2 and NLR Family-Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 Inflammasome in Polymicrobial Sepsis [PDF]
Uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) may be critical for intestinal barrier function which may play a key role in the development of sepsis, and insulin has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into five groups: control group, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) group, sham surgery group, CLP plus ...

Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis
Interleukin‐18 signaling promotes activation of hepatic stellate cells in mouse liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Nucleotide‐binding oligomerization domain‐like receptor‐family pyrin domain‐containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation has been shown to result in liver fibrosis.

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.

The Role of NLRP1, AIM2 and MEFV Inflammasomes in the High-Intensity Interval Training of Individuals With Obesity. [PDF]
This study shows that 8 weeks of high‐intensity interval training (HIIT) modulate inflammasome‐related gene expression in individuals with obesity. HIIT increased AIM2, MEFV, CARD16 and CARD18 expression, with CARD16 upregulation supporting reduced inflammation through inhibition of caspase‐1 activation and lower IL‐1β levels.

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 ...
