PW03-025 - Procaspase-1 contributes to inflammation via NF-KB
Introduction Caspase-1 is a pro-inflammatory enzyme which gets activated by autoprocessing following the assembly of multiprotein complexes called inflammasomes. Mature caspase-1 is responsible for the activation of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1b and IL-18. Luksch and colleagues reported naturally occurring CASP1 genetic variants in patients suffering from unexplained recurre...
متن کاملPW03-024 - A transgenic mouse model for variant procaspase-1
Introduction We have detected several genetic variants of CASP1 in patients suffering from unexplained recurrent febrile episodes. Paradoxically, in vitro and in vivo analyses of patients’ cells revealed decreased enzymatic activity of these caspase-1 variants leading to impaired cytokine production despite the proinflammatory phenotype of the patients. The pathophysiological processes associat...
متن کاملIKKa limits macrophage NF-kB activation and contributes to the resolution of inflammation
Inflammation and innate immunity involve signalling pathways leading to the production of inflammatory mediators. Usually such responses are self-limiting, but aberrant resolution of inflammation results in chronic diseases. Much attention has focused on pro-inflammatory signalling but little is known about the mechanisms that resolve inflammation. The IkB kinase (IKK) complex contains two cata...
متن کاملNF-kB as a Critical Link Between Inflammation and Cancer
NF-kB transcription factors have been suspected to be involved in cancer development since their discovery because of their kinship with the v-Rel oncogene product. Subsequent work led to identification of oncogenic mutations that result in NF-kB activation in lymphoid malignancies, but most of these mutations affect upstream components of NF-kB signaling pathways, rather than NF-kB family memb...
متن کاملHuman procaspase-1 variants with decreased enzymatic activity are associated with febrile episodes and may contribute to inflammation via RIP2 and NF-κB signaling.
The proinflammatory enzyme caspase-1 plays an important role in the innate immune system and is involved in a variety of inflammatory conditions. Rare naturally occurring human variants of the caspase-1 gene (CASP1) lead to different protein expression and structure and to decreased or absent enzymatic activity. Paradoxically, a significant number of patients with such variants suffer from febr...
