NLRP3 Inflammasome in the Pathogenesis of Dysmenorrhea and Role of Mefenamic Acid as its Inhibitor [PDF]
, 2022 While the role of prostaglandin as a trigger in dysmenorrhea is well known, not many are aware that inflammation and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome are also implicated in primary dysmenorrhea (PD ...

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.

Vitamin D Receptor Inhibits NLRP3 Activation by Impeding Its BRCC3-Mediated Deubiquitination
Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multiprotein oligomer responsible for activation of the inflammatory response by promoting the maturation and secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18.

Sensing damage by the NLRP3 inflammasome [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2011 Summary: The NLRP3 inflammasome is activated in response to a variety of signals that are indicative of damage to the host including tissue damage, metabolic stress, and infection. Upon activation, the NLRP3 inflammasome serves as a platform for activation of the cysteine protease caspase‐1, which leads to the processing and secretion of the ...

The AIM2 inflammasome is critical for innate immunity to Francisella tularensis. [PDF]
, 2010 Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, infects host macrophages, which triggers production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-18. We elucidate here how host macrophages recognize F.
