Exploring 'triggers' of the NLRP3 inflammasome spurred studies of tissue inflammation in diseases including gout and those that previously have not been considered inflammatory in nature such as diabetes, fibrosing lung disease and possibly coronary artery disease.
Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), a regulator of cellular oxidative stress, has been associated with activation of NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, inflammation and lipid metabolism, suggesting it has a role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in diabetes.
More importantly, based on the beneficial effects of blocking the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, we provided a potential therapeutic target for clinical comorbidity and a new strategy for management of both diabetes and depression.
At the same time, disruption of mitochondrial integrity is emerging as an integral control node in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and is also associated with caloric overload conditions including obesity and diabetes.
NLRP3 inflammasome activation and vascular endothelial injury were significantly increased in APN-KO mice compared with WT mice in diabetes and MCC950 decreased diabetic vascular endothelial dysfunction to comparable levels in APN-KO mice and WT mice.
NLRP3- and IL-1R-deficient mice, but not ASC-deficient mice, showed reduced incidence of diabetes, less insulitis, lower hyperglycemia, and normal insulin levels compared to wild-type (WT) diabetic mice.
NLRP3 is a receptor important for host responses to infection, yet is also known to contribute to devastating diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, atherosclerosis, and others, making inhibitors for NLRP3 sought after.
Activation of the nucleotide binding and oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome leads to the maturation of interleukin (IL)-1B and is involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of diabetes.
The NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by different forms of oxidative stress, and, based on the central role of IL-1β in the destruction of pancreatic islets, it could be related to the development of diabetes.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether fenofibrate protects retinas from oxidative damage and neuroinflammation via modulating the Nrf2 pathway and blocking NLRP3 inflammasome activation during diabetes.
Taken together, our results indicated that diabetes could predispose and aggravate the disease severity of AP potentially via promoting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.
Inappropriate activation of NLRP3 drives a chronic inflammatory response and is implicated in several non-communicable diseases, including gout, atherosclerosis, type II diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
Taken together, our results reveal that irisin alleviates AGEs-induced inflammation and endothelial dysfunction via inhibiting ROS-NLRP3 inflammasome signaling, suggest a likely mechanism for irisin-induced therapeutic effect in vascular complications of diabetes.
The assembly and activation of NLRP3 inflammasome are linked to the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes, and their major consequences-myocardial remodeling.
The NLRP3 inflammasome is an intracellular multimeric protein complex which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of various human inflammatory diseases, such as diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis.
This review will address these latest findings with an aim of highlighting the interconnectivity between oxidative stress, NLRP3 activation and inflammation as it pertains to cardiac and vascular injury sustained by diabetes.
Exe may reduce oxidative stress injury and inhibit the NLRP3 inflammasome by enhancing the autophagy/mitophagy pathway in liver, which has a protective effect on the liver in NAFLD and diabetes in C57BL/6 mice.
In conclusion, our study provided evidence that the protective effect of CK on diabetes-induced renal injury is associated with down-regulating the expression of NADHP oxidase, and inhibition of ROS-mediated activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-κB/p38 signaling pathway, suggesting its therapeutic implication for renal inflammation.
It is known that chronic low-grade inflammation contributes to the initiation and development of both diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (DN), so we designed this study to investigate the role of P2X7R and NLRP3 inflammasome in DN pathogenesis and the antagonistic effects of artificially cultivated <i>Ophiocordyceps sinensis</i> (ACOS).
The induction of pyroptosis is closely associated with the activation of the NOD-like receptor 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome which has been linked to key cardiovascular risk factors including hyperlipidemia, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and hyperhomocysteinemia.
