Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular acidosis is a novel danger signal alerting innate immunity via the NLRP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: The data suggest that acidic environment represents a novel endogenous danger signal alerting the innate immunity, and may contribute to inflammation in acidosis-associated pathologies such as atherosclerosis and post-ischemic inflammatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ethanol inhibits activation of NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes in human macrophages--a novel anti-inflammatory action of alcohol.

TL;DR: Ethanol-induced inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages may represent a biological pathway underlying the protective effect of moderate alcohol consumption on coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

p38δ MAPK: A Novel Regulator of NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation With Increased Expression in Coronary Atherogenesis.

TL;DR: The p38&dgr; mitogen-activated protein kinase was identified as a novel regulator of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in primary human macrophages, and thus, represents a potential target for modulation of atherosclerotic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calpain Activity Is Essential for ATP-Driven Unconventional Vesicle-Mediated Protein Secretion and Inflammasome Activation in Human Macrophages.

TL;DR: It is shown that ATP stimulation activates robust vesicle-mediated unconventional protein secretion, including exosome release and membrane shedding, from human macrophages and shows a pivotal role for calpains in the activation of the inflammatory response during ATP exposure.
