Association of mutations in the NALP3/CIAS1/PYPAF1 gene with a broad phenotype including recurrent fever, cold sensitivity, sensorineural deafness, and AA amyloidosis.
We investigated the hypothesis that low-penetrance mutations in genes (TNFRSF1A, MEFV and NALP3/CIAS1) associated with hereditary periodic fever syndromes (HPFs) might be risk factors for AA amyloidosis among patients with chronic inflammatory disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), Crohn's disease, undiagnosed recurrent fevers and HPFs themselves.
No associations between epidemiological information and assemblage was detected, but assemblage B was significantly (P<0.01) more frequently found in children with diarrhea, flatulence or abdominal pain than assemblage A. Sub-assemblage AII accounted for the majority of cases (86.5%).
We assessed the effects of melatonin on behavioral changes and inflammatory cytokine expression in hippocampus of mice in LPS-induced DLB, as well as its effects on NLR Family Pyrin Domain Containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, oxidative stress and pyroptotic cell death in murine microglia <i>in vitro</i>.
Therefore, targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome complex may represent an innovative and consequential approach to limit neuroinflammatory states in psychiatric disorders, such as major depressive disorder.
Recent data have demonstrated that NLRP3 activation appears to bridge the gap between immune activation and metabolic danger signals or stress exposure, which are key factors in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders.
0.1 microM endothelin 3 (ET3), 1 microM angiotensin II (AII), and 10 microM acetylcholine (Ach) significantly increased AVP release; ET3 (C 1.78 +/- 0.20 vs. ET3 6.85 +/- 1.86 pg/2 x 10(6) cells, N = 8, P < 0.02); AII (C 1.29 +/- 0.38 vs. AII 27.80 +/- 7.09 pg/2 x 10(6) cells, N = 5, P < 0.05) and Ach (C 1.14 +/- 0.33 vs. Ach 2.68 +/- 0.58 pg/2 x x10(6) cells, N = 6, P < 0.05).
A dual luciferase reporter assay was performed to determine whether the SNP rs10754558 might be responsible for the altered NLRP3 gene expression in AV by disrupting the interaction between micro-RNA (miR)-4273 and NLRP3 mRNA.

Our aim was to investigate the association between polymorphisms in CARD8 and NLRP3 and active tuberculosis (TB) as well as their relationship to treatment outcome in a high-endemic setting for TB.
Here, we show that the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated during acute bacterial peritonitis in patients on PD, and this activation associates with the release of IL-1<i>β</i> in the dialysate.
In summary, this study demonstrates that the G+7/in6A and A10370-G polymorphisms of the CASP1 gene are associated with increased risk of developing ACS, whereas the UTR'3 G37562-C polymorphism of the NLRP3 gene is associated with a decreased risk of developing ACS in Mexican population.
