Homotypic CARD-CARD interaction is critical for the activation of NLRP1 inflammasome [PDF]
Cytosolic inflammasomes are supramolecular complexes that are formed in response to intracellular pathogens and danger signals. However, as to date, the detailed description of a homotypic caspase recruitment domain (CARD) interaction between NLRP1 and ...

NLRP1 Inflammasome Activation Induces Pyroptosis of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells [PDF]
Cytopenias are key prognostic indicators of life-threatening infection, contributing to immunosuppression and mortality. Here we define a role for Caspase-1-dependent death, known as pyroptosis, in infection-induced cytopenias by studying inflammasome activation in hematopoietic progenitor cells.

NLRP1 Inflammasome Activation in the Hippocampal Formation in Alzheimer’s Disease: Correlation with Neuropathological Changes and Unbiasedly Estimated Neuronal Loss [PDF]
Neuroinflammation is one of the core pathological features of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as both amyloid β (Aβ) and tau monomers and oligomers can trigger the long-term pro-inflammatory phenotype of microglial cells with consequent overactivation of the ...

Genetic Analysis of long-lived families reveals novel variants influencing high density-lipoprotein cholesterol [PDF]
The plasma levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) have an inverse relationship to the risks of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, and have also been associated with longevity.

Expression of intron-containing HIV-1 RNA induces NLRP1 inflammasome activation in myeloid cells. [PDF]
Despite the success of antiretroviral therapy in suppressing plasma viremia in people living with human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), persistent viral RNA expression in tissue reservoirs is observed and can contribute to HIV-1-induced ...

INFLAMMASOME NLRP1 DISTINCTIVE FEATURES IN ATOPIC CONDITIONS
The review article focuses on the NLRP1 inflammasome, which was discovered before the others but has been the least investigated. The emergence of the inflammasome in innate immunity container cells is an early event that precedes the development of any ...

The NLRP1 inflammasome in skin diseases. [PDF]
Healthy human skin is constantly exposed to sterile and microbial agents. The skin immune system plays an important role in immune surveillance between tolerance and immune activation. This is mainly mediated by neutrophils, macrophages and most importantly lymphocytes.

Inflammasome sensor NLRP1 controls rat macrophage susceptibility to Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that infects a wide range of warm-blooded species. Rats vary in their susceptibility to this parasite. The Toxo1 locus conferring Toxoplasma resistance in rats was previously mapped to a region of chromosome

Host E3 ubiquitin ligase ITCH mediates Toxoplasma gondii effector GRA35-triggered NLRP1 inflammasome activation and cell-autonomous immunity [PDF]
Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that can activate the NLRP1 inflammasome leading to macrophage pyroptosis in Lewis rats, but the underlying mechanism is not well understood.

The NLRP1 and CARD8 inflammasomes [PDF]
AbstractInflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that activate inflammatory cytokines and induce pyroptosis in response to intracellular danger‐associated signals. NLRP1 and CARD8 are related germline‐encoded pattern recognition receptors that form inflammasomes, but their activation mechanisms and biological purposes have not yet been fully ...
