Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involves IL-1 but is independent of NLRP3/ASC inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 [PDF]
IL-1b and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1b and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown.

NLRP3 phosphorylation in its LRR domain critically regulates inflammasome assembly
International audienceAbstract NLRP3 controls the secretion of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β/18 and pyroptosis by assembling the inflammasome. Upon coordinated priming and activation stimuli, NLRP3 recruits NEK7 within hetero-oligomers that nucleate ASC ...

Polyene macrolide antifungal drugs trigger interleukin-1β secretion by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome. [PDF]
The use of antimycotic drugs in fungal infections is based on the concept that they suppress fungal growth by a direct killing effect. However, amphotericin and nystatin have been reported to also trigger interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion in monocytes but
