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 matricellular protein SPARC induces inflammatory interferon-response in macrophages during aging.

TL;DR: In this paper , a CR-mimetic adipokine, SPARC, was found to be an immunometabolic checkpoint of inflammation and interferon response that may be targeted to delay agerelated metabolic and functional decline.
Journal ArticleDOI

Treatment options for anemia in the elderly.

TL;DR: A number of innovative anti-anemic drugs, like hepcidin modulators, Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) stabilizers, and activin type II receptor agonists are entering the clinical arena and may substantially improve the therapeutic armamentarium to AE in the near future.

NLRP3/IL1β inflammasome associated with the aging bladder triggers bladder dysfunction in female rats.

TL;DR: In the histological examination, the bladders of the old group displayed increased collagen deposition, urothelial thinning and detrusor shrinkage compared with the young group, which led to chronic bladder fibrosis with increased NLRP3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thioredoxin interacting protein regulates age-associated neuroinflammation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found that TXNIP was significantly upregulated in aged animals, paralleled by the NLRP3-inflammasome over-activity leading to enhanced caspase-1 cleavage and IL-1β maturation, in both sexes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coordination of mitochondrial and lysosomal homeostasis mitigates inflammation and muscle atrophy during aging

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that BCL2 interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) plays a key role in the control of mitochondrial and lysosomal homeostasis, and mitigates muscle inflammation and atrophy during aging, and a new adaptive mechanism involving the mitophagy protein BNIP3 is proposed.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
