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

NLRP3 Inflammasome and MS/EAE [PDF]
Inflammasomes are cytosolic sensors that detect pathogens and danger signals in the innate immune system. The NLRP3 inflammasome is currently the most fully characterized inflammasome and is known to detect a wide array of microbes and endogenous damage-associated molecules.

Cardiolipin and the Nlrp3 Inflammasome [PDF]
The Nlrp3 inflammasome is a key controller of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β. Iyer and colleagues (2013) demonstrate that Nlrp3 activators promote an interaction between cardiolipin in mitochondria and Nlrp3. Cardiolipin is thus a hydrophobic danger signal that, upon translocation to the outer mitochondrial membrane, activates Nlrp3, promoting ...

ASC filament formation serves as a signal amplification mechanism for inflammasomes [PDF]
A hallmark of inflammasome activation is the ASC speck, a micrometre-sized structure formed by the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), which consists of a pyrin domain (PYD) and a caspase ...

NLRP3 Inflammasome and Pathobiology in AMD [PDF]
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of central vision loss and blindness in the elderly. It is characterized by a progressive loss of photoreceptors in the macula due to damage to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Clinically, it is manifested by drusen deposition between the RPE and underlying choroid and accumulation of ...

Heightened NLRP3 inflammasome activation is associated with aging and CMML diseases severity [PDF]
Aging causes chronic low-grade inflammation known as inflamm-aging. It is a risk factor for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), a hematological malignancy that is most prevalent in older people.

Vitamin D and the NLRP3 Inflammasome [PDF]
Vitamin D (VD) is a steroid hormone classically known for its key role in maintaining calcium homeostasis in the body. VD also has important immunomodulatory functions. This review explores evidence for a role of VD in attenuating the activation of the nucleotide-binding domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome.

The PLK1 and NLRP3 interactome in NLRP3 inflammasome activation [PDF]
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.

Evaluation of protein kinase D auto-phosphorylation as biomarker for NLRP3 inflammasome activation
Background The NLRP3 inflammasome is a critical component of sterile inflammation, which is involved in many diseases. However, there is currently no known proximal biomarker for measuring NLRP3 activation in pathological conditions.
