Mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation [PDF]
Inflammasomes continue to generate interest in an increasing number of disciplines owing to their unique ability to integrate a myriad of signals from pathogen‐ and damage‐associated molecular patterns into a proinflammatory response. This potent caspase‐1–dependent process is capable of activating the innate immune system, initiating pyroptosis (an ...

The double sides of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in sepsis
International audienceAbstract Sepsis is defined as a life-threatening organ dysfunction induced by a dysregulated host immune response to infection. Immune response induced by sepsis is complex and dynamic.

Posttranslational Regulation of the NLR Family Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 Inflammasome
The NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a multi-protein complex that can be activated by a variety of pathogen-associated molecular patterns or damage-associated molecular patterns.

Tricyclic antidepressants induce liver inflammation by targeting NLRP3 inflammasome activation
Background Idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) is common in hepatology practices and, in some cases, lethal. Increasing evidence show that tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) can induce IDILI in clinical applications but the underlying ...

Knocking In the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
Mutations in the human NLRP3 gene cause interleukin-1beta-related autoinflammatory syndromes. In this issue of Immunity, Brydges et al. (2009) and Meng et al. (2009) report the characterization of Nlrp3 gene-targeted mice harboring mutations mimicking those causing disease in humans.

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.

Inflammasome-independent NLRP3 function enforces ATM activity in response to genotoxic stress [PDF]
NLRP3 is a pattern recognition receptor with a well-documented role in inducing inflammasome assembly in response to cellular stress. Deregulation of its activity leads to many inflammatory disorders including gouty arthritis, Alzheimer disease, and ...

Role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome in Preeclampsia [PDF]
Reproduction involves tightly regulated series of events and the immune system is involved in an array of reproductive processes. Disruption of well-controlled immune functions leads to infertility, placental inflammation, and numerous pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia (PE).
