Let's get this pyrin started! [PDF]
Inflammasomes enable cells to respond to pathogens or biological damage, but the specific signals being used to convey these messages are not always clear. A new paper identifies two potential microbiota-derived metabolites, the bile acid analogues BAA485 and BAA473, as the first small molecules to activate the pyrin inflammasome. These results suggest

Increased Pyrin expression is required for Pyrin activation in human macrophages.
(A) IL-1β release from LPS-primed (10 ng/ml, 3 or 18 h) hMDM were preincubated with compounds as noted previously, then stimulated with either TcdA (200 ng/ml), BAA-473 (10 μM), or (B) nigericin (8 μM) for 2.5 h.

Is there any relationship between human foamy virus infections and familial Mediterranean fever?
Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is generally defined as an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by the automatic activation of the innate immune system in the absence of a detectable pathogenic stimulant.

Bile acid analogues are activators of pyrin inflammasome [PDF]
Bile acids are critical metabolites in the gastrointestinal tract and contribute to maintaining intestinal immune homeostasis through cross-talk with the gut microbiota. The conversion of bile acids by the gut microbiome is now recognized as a factor affecting both host metabolism and immune responses, but its physiological roles remain unclear.

Caspase-14-like Proteases: An Epidermal Caspase and Its Evolutionarily Ancient Relatives
Caspases are a family of cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases implicated in programmed cell death. Humans have eleven proteolytically active caspases, namely caspase-1 through -10 and caspase-14.

Differential Binding of NLRP3 to non-oxidized and Ox-mtDNA mediates NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key mediator of the innate immune response to sterile tissue injury and is involved in many chronic and acute diseases. Physically and chemically diverse agents activate the NLRP3 inflammasome.

Self‐assembled, scaffold‐free full‐thickness skin equivalents with monoclonal, genetically modified N/TERT‐1 keratinocytes represent a novel in vitro model of human skin and skin diseases. The model is highly robust, reproducible, physiologically relevant, and suitable for high‐throughput applications.
