Canonical Nlrp3 Inflammasome Links Systemic Low-Grade Inflammation to Functional Decline in Aging

TLDR
Nlrp3 inflammasome is revealed as an upstream target that controls age-related inflammation and an innovative therapeutic strategy to lower NLRp3 activity to delay multiple age- related chronic diseases is offered.

The Inflammasome Contributes to Depletion of the Ovarian Reserve During Aging in Mice.

TL;DR: It is suggested that inflammasome-dependent inflammation contributes to the age-associated depletion of follicles and raises the possibility that ovarian aging could be delayed, and fertile window prolonged, by suppressing inflammatory processes in the ovary.

The Expression Changes of Inflammasomes in the Aging Rat Kidneys

TL;DR: Results showed that inflammasomes are markedly activated during the renal aging process and might induce inflamm-aging by promoting the maturation and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18.

The critical role of the hippocampal NLRP3 inflammasome in social isolation-induced cognitive impairment in male mice

TL;DR: The present study showed that 8-week chronic social isolation led to cognitive impairment in mice, remarkably increasing expression of the hippocampal NLRP3 inflammasome, and found that minocycline improved cognitive behavior in SI mice, suggesting a central mechanism for IL-1β-related CNS inflammation.

Icaritin Provides Neuroprotection in Parkinson's Disease by Attenuating Neuroinflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Energy Deficiency.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that icaritin improves Parkinson's disease by attenuating the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activity and stabilizing mitochondrial function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The APPL1-Rab5 axis restricts NLRP3 inflammasome activation through early endosomal-dependent mitophagy in macrophages.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a type of early endosome-dependent mitophagy that limits NLRP3 inflammasome activation, leading to accumulation of damaged mitochondria producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidized cytosolic mitochondrial DNA.

Gene Expression Omnibus: NCBI gene expression and hybridization array data repository

TL;DR: The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) project was initiated in response to the growing demand for a public repository for high-throughput gene expression data and provides a flexible and open design that facilitates submission, storage and retrieval of heterogeneous data sets from high-power gene expression and genomic hybridization experiments.

Gout-associated uric acid crystals activate the NALP3 inflammasome

TL;DR: It is shown that MSU and CPPD engage the caspase-1-activating NALP3 (also called cryopyrin) inflammasome, resulting in the production of active interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in mice deficient in the IL-1β receptor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflamm‐aging: An Evolutionary Perspective on Immunosenescence

TL;DR: The beneficial effects of inflammation devoted to the neutralization of dangerous/harmful agents early in life and in adulthood become detrimental late in life in a period largely not foreseen by evolution, according to the antagonistic pleiotropy theory of aging.

Immunological and Inflammatory Functions of the Interleukin-1 Family

TL;DR: The IL-1 family includes members that suppress inflammation, both specifically within the IL-2 family but also nonspecifically for TLR ligands and the innate immune response.
