TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis suggests that several genes that increase the risk for sporadic Alzheimer's disease encode factors that regulate glial clearance of misfolded proteins and the inflammatory reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
NLRP3 inflammasomes are required for atherogenesis and activated by cholesterol crystals
Peter Duewell,Hajime Kono,Katey J. Rayner,Katey J. Rayner,Cherilyn M. Sirois,Gregory I. Vladimer,Franz Bauernfeind,George S. Abela,Luigi Franchi,Guillermo Gabriel Nuñez,Max Schnurr,Terje Espevik,Egil Lien,Katherine A. Fitzgerald,Kenneth L. Rock,Kathryn J. Moore,Kathryn J. Moore,Samuel D. Wright,Veit Hornung,Eicke Latz,Eicke Latz +20 more
TL;DR: It is shown that cholesterol crystals activate the NLRP3 inflammasome in phagocytes in vitro in a process that involves phagolysosomal damage and that crystalline cholesterol acts as an endogenous danger signal and its deposition in arteries or elsewhere is an early cause rather than a late consequence of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silica crystals and aluminum salts activate the NALP3 inflammasome through phagosomal destabilization
Veit Hornung,Franz Bauernfeind,Annett Halle,Eivind O. Samstad,Eivind O. Samstad,Hajime Kono,Kenneth L. Rock,Katherine A. Fitzgerald,Eicke Latz,Eicke Latz +9 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that silica and aluminum salt crystals activated inflammasomes formed by the cytoplasmic receptor NALP3, which senses lysosomal damage as an endogenous 'danger' signal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation and regulation of the inflammasomes
TL;DR: The complex regulatory mechanisms that facilitate a balanced but effective inflammasome-mediated immune response are discussed, and the similarities to another molecular signalling platform — the apoptosome — that monitors cellular health are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
IKKepsilon and TBK1 are essential components of the IRF3 signaling pathway.
Katherine A. Fitzgerald,Sarah M. McWhirter,Kerrie L. Faia,Daniel C. Rowe,Eicke Latz,Douglas T. Golenbock,Anthony J. Coyle,Sha-Mei Liao,Tom Maniatis +8 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the noncanonical IκB kinase homologs, IKKε (IKKε) and TANK-binding kinase-1 (TBK1), which were previously implicated in NF-κB activation, are also essential components of the IRF3 signaling pathway.
