Is the inflammasome a potential therapeutic target in renal disease? [PDF]
The inflammasome is a large, multiprotein complex that drives proinflammatory cytokine production in response to infection and tissue injury. Pattern recognition receptors that are either membrane bound or cytoplasmic trigger inflammasome assembly. These

NLRP1 inflammasome activation in schizophrenia
Abstract body: Aims: In the context of the maternal immune activation and neuroinflammation hypotheses of schizophrenia (SZ), we studied NLRP1 mRNA and protein expression in the postmortem brain tissue from a total of 10 SZ and 10 controls. Methods: RNA underwent reverse transcription and was hybridized onto the Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 array, using

Redox Regulation of NLRP3 Inflammasomes: ROS as Trigger or Effector? [PDF]
Significance: Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes localized within the cytoplasm of the cell that are responsible for the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, and the activation of a highly inflammatory ...

The DNA-sensing AIM2 inflammasome controls radiation-induced cell death and tissue injury [PDF]
Acute exposure to ionizing radiation induces massive cell death and severe damage to tissues containing actively proliferating cells, including bone marrow and the gastrointestinal tract.

NLRP1 restricts butyrate producing commensals to exacerbate inflammatory bowel disease
The inflammasome is normally activated by pathogens to induce tissue inflammation. Here the authors show that, in mouse experimental colitis models, Nlrp1 inflammasome sensor activates IL-18 to reduce beneficial colonic Clostridiales species, thereby ...

DPP8/DPP9 inhibition elicits canonical Nlrp1b inflammasome hallmarks in murine macrophages
This study shows that caspase-1 autocleavage, ASC speck assembly, and mature IL-1β and IL-18 secretion accompany rapid DPP8/DPP9-regulated pyroptosis induction in macrophages expressing a LeTx-responsive Nlrp1b allele.

p62 mRNA suppresses NLRP1 expression in cutaneous SCC cells through miR-34a-5p
The inflammasome sensor NLRP1 is mainly expressed by epithelial cells including keratinocytes of human skin. Germline gain-of-function mutations in NLRP1 cause inflammatory skin syndromes and predispose patients to the development of cutaneous squamous ...
