Journal ArticleDOI

Mutation of a new gene encoding a putative pyrin-like protein causes familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and Muckle–Wells syndrome

TL;DR: A gene, called CIAS1, is expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes and encodes a protein with a pyrin domain, a nucleotide-binding site (NBS, NACHT subfamily) domain and a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) motif region, suggesting a role in the regulation of inflammation and apoptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glyburide inhibits the Cryopyrin/Nalp3 inflammasome

TL;DR: Glyburide, a sulfonylurea drug commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes, shuts down IL-1β secretion by preventing Cyropyrin activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of cold-associated acute inflammation in familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome by interleukin-1 receptor antagonist

TL;DR: The ability of IL-1Ra to prevent the clinical features and haematological and biochemical changes in patients with FCAS indicates a central role for interleukin 1beta in this disorder and support a new therapy for a disorder with no previously known acceptable treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The clinical continuum of cryopyrinopathies: novel CIAS1 mutations in North American patients and a new cryopyrin model.

TL;DR: Investigation of the structural effect of disease-causing mutations on cryopyrin provides insight into potential molecular mechanisms by which cryopyrsin mutations can inappropriately activate an inflammatory response.
