Kidney surveillance in the spotlight: contrast-induced acute kidney injury illuminated [PDF]
, 2018 Acute kidney injury comprises a heterogeneous group of conditions characterized by a sudden decrease in renal function over hours to days. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is caused by radiographic contrast agents used in diagnostic imaging.

Deficiency of the purinergic receptor 2X7 attenuates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis induced by high-fat diet. possible role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
, 2017 Molecular mechanisms driving transition from simple steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a critical step in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to cirrhosis, are poorly defined. This study aimed at investigating the

CCDC50 suppresses NLRP3 inflammasome activity by mediating autophagic degradation of NLRP3
EMBO reports, 2022 The NLRP3-directed inflammasome complex is crucial for the host to resist microbial infection and monitor cellular damage. However, the hyperactivation of NLRP3 inflammasome is implicated in pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

NLRP3 inflammasome in endothelial dysfunction [PDF]
Cell Death & Disease, 2020 AbstractInflammasomes are a class of cytosolic protein complexes. They act as cytosolic innate immune signal receptors to sense pathogens and initiate inflammatory responses under physiological and pathological conditions. The NLR-family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is the most characteristic multimeric protein complex.

NLRP3 and CARD8 polymorphisms influence higher disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2016 Background: The activation of NLRP3-inflammasome may contribute to inflammatory processes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Functional polymorphisms in the genes coding for its components NLRP3 and CARD8 were associated with a proinflammatory phenotype.
