Therapeutic Targeting of NLRP3 Inflammasomes by Natural Products and Pharmaceuticals: A Novel Mechanistic Approach for Inflammatory Diseases (original) (raw)
Current medicinal chemistry, 2017
Abstract
Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes having nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat consisting members along with pyrin and HIN domain family. An inflammasome mainly consists of cytoplasmic sensor molecule such as NLRP3, the adaptor apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing caspase recruitment domain) protein along with effector procaspase-1. The inflammasome regulates caspase-1 activation, resulting in secretion of interleukin-1β and interleukin-18. The inflammasome activation is linked with infection, stress, or other immunological signals involved in inflammation. The pathophysiological role of NLRP3 inflammasome in immune regulation, inflammatory receptor-ligand interactions, microbial-associated molecular patterns, danger as well as pathogen associated molecular patterns has been demonstrated in last few years. Furthermore, the role of the inflammasome in peripheral and central nervous system involved with cytokine and chemokine inflammatory responses has...
