NF-κB signaling in inflammation

TL;DR: This review will discuss the activation and function of NF-κB in association with inflammatory diseases and highlight the development of therapeutic strategies based on NF-σB inhibition.

Reactive Oxygen Species in Metabolic and Inflammatory Signaling.

TL;DR: The role of ROS in the regulation metabolic/inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, and stroke is highlighted and the balance ROS signaling plays in both physiology and pathophysiology is understood.

Inflammation and its resolution in atherosclerosis: mediators and therapeutic opportunities

TL;DR: In advanced atherosclerotic lesions, the ratio between specialized pro-resolving mediators and pro-inflammatory lipids is strikingly low, providing a molecular explanation for the defective inflammation resolution features of these lesions.

Tumor Antigen Escape from CAR T-cell Therapy.

TL;DR: Antigen escape and downregulation have emerged as major issues impacting the durability of CAR T-cell therapy and ways to overcome these obstacles in order to improve clinical outcomes are explored.

Pyroptosis: mechanisms and diseases.

TL;DR: It is described that pyroptosis is a double-edged sword for tumors and the rational use of this dual effect will help to further explore the formation and development of tumors, and provide ideas for patients to develop new drugs based on pyroPTosis.

The inflammasome: a molecular platform triggering activation of inflammatory caspases and processing of proIL-beta.

TL;DR: In this article, the inflammasome is identified as a caspase-activating complex that comprises caspases-1, casp-5, Pycard/Asc, and NALP1, a Pyrin domain-containing protein sharing structural homology with NODs.
Journal ArticleDOI

A role for mitochondria in NLRP3 inflammasome activation

TL;DR: It is shown that mitophagy/autophagy blockade leads to the accumulation of damaged, ROS-generating mitochondria, and this in turn activates the NLRP3 inflammasome, and may explain the frequent association of mitochondrial damage with inflammatory diseases.

Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death

TL;DR: Gasdermin D (Gsdmd) is identified by genome-wide clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat-Cas9 nuclease screens of caspase-11- and caspasing-1-mediated pyroptosis in mouse bone marrow macrophages to offer insight into inflammasome-mediated immunity/diseases and change the understanding of pyroPTosis and programmed necrosis.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cryopyrin activates the inflammasome in response to toxins and ATP

TL;DR: It is shown that cryopyrin-deficient macrophages cannot activate caspase-1 in response to Toll-like receptor agonists plus ATP, the latter activating the P2X7 receptor to decrease intracellular K+ levels.
