Expresión de los componentes del inflamasoma y su relación con los marcadores de riesgo cardiovascular en personas con infección por HIV-1

Biomédica (Bogotá); 42 (2), 2022
Introducción. La infección por el HIV-1 induce un estado de inflamación crónico en el que participan los inflamasomas. El incremento de los parámetros inflamatorios es mayor en individuos con replicación viral activa que en aquellos con control de la replicación viral. Este proceso desencadena alt...

NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor MCC950 can reduce the damage of pancreatic and intestinal barrier function in mice with acute pancreatitis

Acta cir. bras; 37 (7), 2022
Purpose: Abnormal activation of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome can lead to the occurrence and progression of acute pancreatitis. This study investigated the protective effect of MCC950 on pancreatitis mice. Methods: Eighteen mice were randomly divided into control group, severe acute p...

High glucose induces pyroptosis of retinal microglia through NLPR3 inflammasome signaling

Arq. bras. oftalmol; 84 (1), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose: Diabetic retinopathy is currently considered a chronic inflammatory disease involving NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 inflammasome activation and retinal microglial pyroptosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain conta...

Expression of NLRP3 inflammasome in leprosy indicates immune evasion of Mycobacterium leprae

Mem. Inst. Oswaldo Cruz; 115 (), 2020
BACKGROUND Leprosy is an infectious-contagious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae that remain endemic in 105 countries. This neglected disease has a wide range of clinical and histopathological manifestations that are related to the host inflammatory and immune responses. More recently, the inflamma...

Baicalin suppresses Propionibacterium acnes-induced skin inflammation by downregulating the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway and inhibiting activation of NLRP3 inflammasome

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (12), 2020
Acne is a kind of common, chronic skin condition caused by the inflammation of the sebaceous glands in hair follicles. Recent studies have demonstrated that baicalin (BA) possesses potential anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of BA in vitro and in viv...

NLRP3 inflammasome in metabolic syndrome

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a serious health problem worldwide; it is characterized by a group of metabolic disorders, including central obesity, insulin resistance/type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia with accelerated atherosclerosis, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and elevated uric acid wit...

Factores inmunológicos relacionados con VIH-1 en pacientes colombianos

Resumen Introducción : los inflamasomas dirigen la maduración de las citoquinas IL-1b e IL-18, las cuales contribuyen en la patogénesis de la infección por VIH-1. Dada la complejidad de la infección, se hace necesaria la búsqueda de marcadores que permitan identificar nuevos blancos terapéuticos ...

NLRP3 inflammasome signaling as an early molecular response is negatively controlled by miR-186 in CFA-induced prosopalgia mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (9), 2018
The NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is the most frequently studied in the central nervous system and has been linked to neuropathic pain. In this study, a post-translational mechanism of microRNA (miR)-186 via regulating the expression of NLRP3 in the complete Freu...

NLRP3 inflammasome: A therapeutic option for kidney disease?

Rev. salud pública; 19 (1), 2017
ABSTRACT Objective To determine if considering inflammasome NLRP3 as a treatment option for kidney disease is possible. Methods Literature review related to NLRP3 inflammasome structure, biological function and relationship with renal disease and others (hypertension, diabetes, gout, atherosclerosis,...

Inflammasomes and dermatology

An. bras. dermatol; 91 (5), 2016
Abstract: Inflammasomes are intracellular multiprotein complexes that comprise part of the innate immune response. Since their definition, inflammasome disorders have been linked to an increasing number of diseases. Autoinflammatory diseases refer to disorders in which local factors lead to the activatio...
