We enrolled 54 patients with IDCM and 20 healthy volunteers and analyzed left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), electrocardiography findings and circulating levels of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, N terminal-pro type B natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) and blood values.Patients were followed up for 6 months.
These findings provide a mechanism that ROS induced by HG activates the NLRP3 inflammasome by cytochrome c binding to NLRP3 and that Gps may be potential and effective drugs for DCM via the inhibition of ROS-mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation.
Our results demonstrate that the protective effect of Klotho on diabetes-induced cardiac injury is associated with inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, suggesting its therapeutic potential for DCM.
In the present study, the role of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase (JNK) in NLR family pyrin domain‑containing 3 (NLRP3 inflammasome) activation in DCM were investigated in vivo and in vitro.
Therefore, we conclude that the protective effect of CV on DCM is associated with the suppression of TGF-β1/Smad signaling and attenuation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, suggesting that CV extract may be a potential therapeutic agent for DCM.
