Lentinan from shiitake selectively attenuates AIM2 and non-canonical inflammasome activation while inducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Lentinan extracted from shiitake (Lentinula edodes) is a β-glucan that has been reported as an intravenous anti-tumor polysaccharide via enhancement of the host immune system. In this study, we determined the effect of lentinan on inflammasome activation,

Shiga Toxin/Lipopolysaccharide Activates Caspase-4 and Gasdermin D to Trigger Mitochondrial Reactive Oxygen Species Upstream of the NLRP3 Inflammasome

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: The non-canonical caspase-4 and canonical NLRP3 inflammasomes are both activated by intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but the crosstalk between these two pathways remains unclear.

Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury, Enhanced by Trained Immunity, Is Attenuated in Caspase 1/Caspase 11 Double Gene Knockout Mice

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation increases morbidity and contributes to allograft dysfunction. There are no therapeutic strategies to mitigate IRI.

Dihydrotanshinone I Specifically Inhibits NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Protects Against Septic Shock In Vivo

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The abnormal activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is closely related to the occurrence and development of many inflammatory diseases. Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome has been considered an efficient therapy to treat infections.

Tivantinib alleviates inflammatory diseases by directly targeting NLRP3

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated immune responses are involved in the pathogenesis of multiple inflammatory diseases, but few clinical drugs are identified that directly target the NLRP3 inflammasome to treat these diseases to date.

Caspase-11, the Main Executioner in Non-canonical Inflammasome [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology and Virology, 2012
Murine caspase-11 is orthologus to human caspase-4 and caspase-5, and is required for the response to cholera toxin B and infection with Escherichia coli, Citrobacter rodentium or Vibrio cholerae. Caspase-11 rather than caspase-1 is the main offender involved in sepsis.

Macrophage‐derived MLKL in alcohol‐associated liver disease: Regulation of phagocytosis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
EtOH causes leaky gut allowing bacteria and PAMPs into the liver, resulting in hepatic inflammation and injury. We demonstrate that LPS induces STAT1‐mediated expression and phosphorylation of MLKL in macrophages and identify a novel function that myeloid MLKL translocates to phagosomes and lysosomes and regulates phagocytosis, which contributes to the

Emerging mechanisms and functions of inflammasome complexes in teleost fish

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes, which are assembled in response to a diverse range of exogenous pathogens and endogenous danger signals, leading to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and induce pyroptotic cell death.

Canonical and non-canonical effects of the NLRP3 inflammasome in kidney inflammation and fibrosis [PDF]

open access: yesNephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2013
NLRP-3 inflammasome is one of several intracellular danger recognition platforms that integrates infectious or non-infectious types of danger into the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines to set-up inflammation for danger control. NLRP3 activation induces three types of caspase-1-mediated responses: secretion of IL-1beta, secretion of IL-18 and a ...

Inflammasome Signaling: A Novel Paradigm of Hub Platform in Innate Immunity for Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Inflammasomes are fundamental innate immune mechanisms that promote inflammation and induce an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, pyroptosis. Pyroptotic inflammasome has been reported to be closely associated with tumorigenesis and prognosis of ...
