NLRP3 Ubiquitination—A New Approach to Target NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation [PDF]
In response to diverse pathogenic and danger signals, the cytosolic activation of the NLRP3 (NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing (3)) inflammasome complex is a critical event in the maturation and release of some inflammatory cytokines in the state of an inflammatory response.

Inhibiting the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
Inflammasomes are protein complexes which are important in several inflammatory diseases. Inflammasomes form part of the innate immune system that triggers the activation of inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18. The inflammasome most studied in sterile inflammation and non-communicable disease is the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is a rare inherited autoinflammatory disorder characterized by systemic, cutaneous, musculoskeletal, and central nervous system inflammation. Gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3 in CAPS patients lead to activation of the cryopyrin inflammasome, resulting in the inappropriate release of inflammatory ...

AKT Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation by Phosphorylating NLRP3 Serine 5 [PDF]
Abstract The cytosolic pattern recognition receptor NLRP3 senses host-derived danger signals and certain microbe-derived products in both humans and rodents. NLRP3 activation assembles an inflammasome complex that contains the adapter proteins ASC and caspase-1, whose activation triggers the maturation and release of the proinflammatory ...

Lyssavirus Matrix Protein Inhibits NLRP3 Inflammasome Assembly by Binding to NLRP3
Lyssavirus is a kind of neurotropic pathogen that needs to evade peripheral host immunity to enter the central nervous system to accomplish infection. NLRP3 inflammasome activation is essential for the host to defend against pathogen invasion. This study demonstrates that the matrix protein (M) of lyssavirus can inhibit both the priming step and the ...

UAF1 deubiquitinase complexes facilitate NLRP3 inflammasome activation by promoting NLRP3 expression [PDF]
AbstractNOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) detects microbial infections or endogenous danger signals and activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, which has important functions in host defense and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, and thereby needs to be tightly controlled.

ABRO1 promotes NLRP3 inflammasome activation through regulation of NLRP3 deubiquitination [PDF]
Deubiquitination of NLRP3 has been suggested to contribute to inflammasome activation, but the roles and molecular mechanisms are still unclear. We here demonstrate that ABRO1, a subunit of the BRISC deubiquitinase complex, is necessary for optimal NLRP3-ASC complex formation, ASC oligomerization, caspase-1 activation, and IL-1β and IL-18 production ...

Autophagy in Microglia and Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by amyloid-beta plaques, neurofibrillary tangles and neuroinflammation. Autophagy has been associated with several neurodegenerative diseases.

IL-1R and inflammasomes mediate early pulmonary protective mechanisms in respiratory brucella abortus infection [PDF]
Brucella spp. infection is frequently acquired through contaminated aerosols. The role of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the early pulmonary response to respiratory Brucella infection is unknown.
