Nuclear factor E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is required for NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome activation.
Despite the number of extensive studies on the immune function and signaling of inflammasomes in various diseases, the activating mechanism of inflammasome, especially the NLRP3 inflammasome, is not fully understood. Nuclear factor E2-related Factor-2 (Nrf2), a key transcription factor that regulates cellular redox homeostasis, has been reported to play both protective and pathogenic roles depe...
متن کاملPKM2-dependent glycolysis promotes NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome activation
Sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock are the main cause of mortality in non-cardiac intensive care units. Immunometabolism has been linked to sepsis; however, the precise mechanism by which metabolic reprogramming regulates the inflammatory response is unclear. Here we show that aerobic glycolysis contributes to sepsis by modulating inflammasome activation in macrophages. PKM2-mediated glycol...
متن کاملListeria monocytogenes is sensed by the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome.
The inflammasome pathway functions to regulate caspase-1 activation in response to a broad range of stimuli. Caspase-1 activation is required for the maturation of the pivotal pro-inflammatory cytokines of the pro-IL-1beta family. In addition, caspase-1 activation leads to a certain type of cell death known as pyroptosis. Activation of the inflammasome has been shown to play a critical role in ...
متن کاملInterplay between Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Nuclear Factor Erythroid 2-related Factor-2 (Nrf2)
Background: Several studies have suggested that decreasing VEGF levels might result in placental oxidative stress in preeclampsia. Results: VEGF activates Nrf2 in an ERK1/2-dependent manner, protecting against oxidative stress, and, in turn, up-regulates VEGF expression. Conclusion: Reduced VEGF bioavailability may lead to aggregation of oxidative stress and result in preeclampsia. Significance...
متن کاملMitochondrial protein mitofusin 2 is required for NLRP3 inflammasome activation after RNA virus infection.
Nod-like receptor family, pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), is involved in the early stages of the inflammatory response by sensing cellular damage or distress due to viral or bacterial infection. Activation of NLRP3 triggers its assembly into a multimolecular protein complex, termed "NLRP3 inflammasome." This event leads to the activation of the downstream molecule caspase-1 that cleaves the ...
