Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammasomes: mechanism of action, role in disease, and therapeutics

TL;DR: Increasing evidence in mouse models strongly implicates an involvement of the inflammasome in the initiation or progression of diseases with a high impact on public health, such as metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interferon-inducible cholesterol-25-hydroxylase broadly inhibits viral entry by production of 25-hydroxycholesterol.

TL;DR: The studies demonstrate a unique mechanism by which IFN achieves its antiviral state through the production of a natural oxysterol to inhibit viral entry and implicate membrane-modifying oxysterols as potential antiviral therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

NLR members NLRC4 and NLRP3 mediate sterile inflammasome activation in microglia and astrocytes.

TL;DR: It is revealed that lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a molecule associated with neurodegeneration and demyelination, elicits NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasome activation in microglia and astrocytes, which are central players in neuroinflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

HIV-1 infection induces interleukin-1β production via TLR8 protein-dependent and NLRP3 inflammasome mechanisms in human monocytes.

TL;DR: HIV-1 infection in human monocytes efficiently induced the expression of pro-IL-1β via TLR8-mediated mechanisms and activated caspase-1 through the NLRP3 inflammasome to cleave pro- IL- 1β into bioactive IL-1 β.
