Hyperactivity of the non-canonical inflammasome in SPG11 and SPG48. [PDF]
Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) denotes a heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative spastic gait disorders. Variants in SPG11 cause the most common autosomal recessive HSP also known as SPG11. The gene product Spatacsin interacts with the adaptor protein complex 5 (AP5). Because neurodegeneration in SPG11 is accompanied by marked neuro-inflammation,

Size matters in non-canonical inflammasome activation and cell-mediated immunity. [PDF]
Particulate adjuvants are key components of many approved vaccines, but their mechanism of adjuvanticity is debated. Muñoz-Wolf et al.1 find that 50-nm particles maximize cell-mediated immune responses by activating the caspase-11 inflammasome, providing mechanistic insight to particulate adjuvant technologies.

TYK2 licenses non-canonical inflammasome activation during endotoxemia. [PDF]
The non-canonical inflammasome is an emerging crucial player in the development of inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. It is activated by direct sensing of cytosolic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by caspase-11 (CASP11), which then induces pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of regulated cell death.

IRF1 and IRF2 regulate the non-canonical inflammasome. [PDF]
The non-canonical inflammasome mediates pyroptotic cell death in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) found in the cytosol. Understanding the mechanism and regulation of this system is of great interest, given its central role in mouse models of bacterial septic shock. In this issue of EMBO Reports, Benaoudia and colleagues sought to discover

TCM‐Guided Targeted Therapies Against NLRP3 Inflammasome in NAFLD [PDF]
Background Non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder driven by inflammation, in which the NLRP3 inflammasome plays a central role.

Maltol, a Natural Flavor Enhancer, Inhibits NLRP3 and Non-Canonical Inflammasome Activation. [PDF]
Maltol (3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4-pyrone) is used widely as a food and cosmetic supplement, and it has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Inflammasome causes the maturation and secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β and -18 through the activation of caspase-1 (Casp1), which contributes to various inflammatory diseases.

Non-canonical inflammasome activation analysis in a mouse model of Citrobacter rodentium infection. [PDF]
Infection of mice with Citrobacter rodentium is a useful model for studying the pathogenicity of enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, pathogens that have a close association with humans. Here, we provide a protocol detailing the approaches for non-canonical inflammasome analysis in a mouse model of C.
