Journal ArticleDOI

Innate immune activation through Nalp3 inflammasome sensing of asbestos and silica.

TL;DR: It is shown that asbestos and silica are sensed by the Nalp3 inflammasome, whose subsequent activation leads to interleukin-1β secretion, and support its role as a major proinflammatory “danger” receptor in particulate matter–related pulmonary diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of the NALP3 inflammasome is triggered by low intracellular potassium concentration.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that activation of NALP3, but not of the IPAF inflammasome, is blocked by inhibiting K+ efflux from cells, suggesting that low intracellular K+ may be the least common trigger of NalP-inflammasomes activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

The inflammasome: a danger sensing complex triggering innate immunity.

TL;DR: The important role of the NalP3 inflammasome is emphasized by the identification of mutations in the NALP3 gene that are associated with a susceptibility to inflammatory disorders.
