Interleukin-18 mediates cardiac dysfunction induced by western diet independent of obesity and hyperglycemia in the mouse [PDF]
, 2017 Obesity and diabetes are independent risk factors for heart failure and are associated with the consumption of diet rich in saturated fat and sugar, Western diet (WD), known to induce cardiac dysfunction in the mouse through incompletely characterized ...

Is there any relationship between human foamy virus infections and familial Mediterranean fever?
Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2018 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.

Detecting “different”: Pyrin senses modified GTPases [PDF]
Cell Research, 2014 Pathogenic bacteria secrete effector proteins that target host cell Rho GTPases to manipulate the actin cytoskeleton. A recent study in Nature identifies the Pyrin inflammasome as a sensor of this pathogenic process.

Genetic Analysis of MEFV Gene Pyrin Domain in Patients With Behçet's Disease
Mediators of Inflammation, 2006 Objectives. Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis with recurrent oral and genital ulcers and uveitis. MEFV gene, which is the main factor in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), is also reported to be a susceptibility gene for BD.

Colchicine therapy in acute coronary syndrome patients acts on caspase-1 to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome monocyte activation [PDF]
, 2016 Inflammasome activation, with subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, has recently been implicated in atherosclerosis-associated inflammation. This study aims to assess in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients (

Glyburide inhibits the Cryopyrin/Nalp3 inflammasome [PDF]
, 2009 Inflammasomes activate caspase-1 for processing and secretion of the cytokines interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-18. Cryopyrin/NALP3/NLRP3 is an essential component of inflammasomes triggered by microbial ligands, danger-associated molecular patterns

The pyrin inflammasome in host–microbe interactions
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2020 Pyrin is an inflammasome sensor in phagocytes that is activated in response to bacterial toxins and effectors that modify RhoA. Pathogen effector-triggered pyrin activation is analogous to an indirect guard mechanism in plants. Pyrin activation appears to be triggered when RhoA GTPases in a host cell are prevented from binding downstream signaling ...

A New Twist on the PYRIN Mediterranean Coast [PDF]
Immunity, 2011 Familial Mediterranean fever is caused by mutations of the PYRIN protein. Chae et al. (2011) provide evidence for a ASC protein-dependent pathway of caspase-1 activation in which gain-of-function PYRIN mutations lead to IL-1β cytokine overproduction and inflammatory disease.

Inflammasomes in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
, 2019 Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration often result from the aberrant deposition of aggregated host proteins, including amyloid-beta, alpha-synuclein, and prions, that can activate inflammasomes.
