TLDR
By exogenously controlling the replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vivo, the requirement for antimicrobial immunity is obviated and it is discovered that both IL-1 production and infection-induced immunopathology were suppressed by lymphocyte-derived interferon-γ (IFN-γ).
Abstract
Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is an important mediator of innate immunity but can also promote inflammatory tissue damage. During chronic infections such as tuberculosis, the beneficial antimicrobial role of IL-1 must be balanced with the need to prevent immunopathology. By exogenously controlling the replication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in vivo, we obviated the requirement for antimicrobial immunity and discovered that both IL-1 production and infection-induced immunopathology were suppressed by lymphocyte-derived interferon-γ (IFN-γ). This effect was mediated by nitric oxide (NO), which we found specifically inhibited assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome via thiol nitrosylation. Our data indicate that the NO produced as a result of adaptive immunity is indispensable in modulating the destructive innate inflammatory responses elicited during persistent infections.

The NLRP3 inflammasome is a potential mechanism and therapeutic target for perioperative neurocognitive disorders

TL;DR: In this article , a review summarizes recent studies and systematically describes the pathogenesis of NLRP3 activation and regulation and potential therapeutics targeting NLRP-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes in PND patients.
Dissertation

Early macrophage response to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analyses of the determinants of infectious disease in eight operation theatres and shows clear patterns in response to treatment-side-of-the-art attacks and in particular the immune systems of mice and birds are affected.

A single-cell mathematical model of sars-cov-2 induced pyroptosis and the effects of anti-inflammatory intervention

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an anti-inflammatory drug can delay the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, and thus may alter the mode of cell death from inflammatory (pyroptosis) to non-inflammatory e.g., apoptosis).

Evaluation of IL-1 blockade as a host-directed therapy for tuberculosis in mice and macaques [preprint]

TL;DR: An HDT to target the IL-1 pathway, an inflammatory immune response that is both critical and detrimental to TB disease outcome, is designed to enhance LZD efficacy by negating LzD-host toxicities and to reduce adverse inflammation caused by TB.

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.

AIM2 recognizes cytosolic dsDNA and forms a caspase-1 activating inflammasome with ASC

TL;DR: Using mouse and human cells, the PYHIN (pyrin and HIN domain-containing protein) family member absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is identified as a receptor for cytosolic DNA, which regulates caspase-1.

Erratum: NLRP3 inflammasomes are required for atherogenesis and activated by cholesterol crystals (Nature (2010) 464 (1357-1361))

TL;DR: This corrects the article to show that the method used to derive the H2O2 “spatially aggregating force” is a two-step process, not a single step, like in the previous version of this paper.
