Divergent Effects of Metformin on an Inflammatory Model of Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]

, 2018
The oral antidiabetic drug metformin is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory properties through activation of AMP kinase, thus protecting various brain tissues as cortical neurons, for example. However, the effect of metformin on the substantia nigra (SN),

DDX3X: stressing the NLRP3 inflammasome [PDF]

Cell Research, 2019
Stress granules and inflammasomes are intracellular complexes that assemble in response to cellular stress signals, enabling cells to persist and perish, respectively. In a recent study published in Nature, Samir et al. identify the helicase DDX3X as a central decision maker in the formation of pro-survival stress granules or pro-death NLRP3 ...

ALDOA Promotes Glycolysis and NLRP3/GSDMD Pyroptosis to Accelerate ALS Progression

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive motor neuron degeneration. Glycolytic dysregulation is implicated in disease progression, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigates how Aldolase A (ALDOA) drives ALS progression through glycolysis‐mediated motor neuron pyroptosis.

FUBP3 mediates the amyloid-β-induced neuronal NLRP3 expression

Neural Regeneration Research
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by deposition of amyloid-β, which forms extracellular neuritic plaques, and accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau, which aggregates to form intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, in the brain. The NLRP3 inflammasome

Pulmonary diseases induced by ambient ultrafine and engineered nanoparticles in twenty-first century. [PDF]

, 2016
Air pollution is a severe threat to public health globally, affecting everyone in developed and developing countries alike. Among different air pollutants, particulate matter (PM), particularly combustion-produced fine PM (PM2.5) has been shown to play a

Small Extracellular Vesicles from Neural Cells: Physiological and Pathological Roles, and Potential in Neurodegenerative Therapy

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Neural cell–derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as pivotal mediators in neurodegenerative diseases, exerting both pathogenic and therapeutic functions. This review synthesizes current evidence on how sEVs from distinct neural cell types regulate neurodegeneration, neuroprotection, biomarker discovery, and targeted drug delivery ...

Growth inhibition of cytosolic Salmonella by caspase-1 and caspase-11 precedes host cell death [PDF]

, 2016
Sensing bacterial products in the cytosol of mammalian cells by NOD-like receptors leads to the activation of caspase-1 inflammasomes, and the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-1β.

The PLK1 and NLRP3 interactome in NLRP3 inflammasome activation

, 2021
Excessive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in sterile inflammation in multiple chronic diseases such as atherosclerosis, gout, type 2 diabetes or Alzheimer’s disease. However, current treatment strategies using generic targeting of IL-1, the end product of multiple inflammasome pathways, can increase the rate of opportunistic infection.

Cellular localization of NLRP3 inflammasome [PDF]

Protein & Cell, 2013
AbstractInflammasome is a large protein complex activated upon cellular stress or microbial infection, which triggers maturation of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 through caspase-1 activation. Nod-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3) is the most characterized inflammasome activated by various stimuli.
