The Therapeutic Potential of Modifying Inflammasomes and NOD-Like Receptors

TL;DR: The NOD-like receptors belong to the superfamily of pattern recognition receptors, a group of highly conserved molecules specialized in the recognition of invariant molecular patterns diffused across species.

The Expanding Role of NLRs in Antiviral Immunity

TL;DR: Current knowledge pertaining to viruses and NLRs as well as areas of potential research, which will help advance the study of NLR biology during virus infection are discussed.

The NBS-LRR architectures of plant R-proteins and metazoan NLRs evolved in independent events

TL;DR: This work uses phylogenetic reconstruction and tests of alternative evolutionary hypotheses combined with ancestral state reconstruction and an analysis of the phylogenetic distribution of the nucleotide binding site–leucine rich repeat (NBS-LRR) architecture to demonstrate that most likely, two distinct and separate evolutionary events gave rise to the NBS- LRR architecture in plant resistance proteins (R-proteins) and metazoan NOD-like receptors (NLRs).

Biochemical and structural aspects of the ATP-binding domain in inflammasome-forming human NLRP proteins.

TL;DR: The functional and structural properties of the NACHT domain of a subfamily of NLRs, the NLRPs (NLR containing a pyrin domain), are detailed based on previous studies, sequence analysis, homology modeling, and structure predictions.

IL-8 promotes HNSCC progression on CXCR1/2-meidated NOD1/RIP2 signaling pathway

TL;DR: IL-8 has an important role in HNSCC progression via a CXCR1/2-meidated NOD1/RIP2 signaling pathway and the blocking of IL-8 by siRNA reduces IL- 8, NOD 1 and RIP2 expressions in H NSCC cells, but not the level of NOD2.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating mitochondrial DAMPs cause inflammatory responses to injury

TL;DR: It is shown that injury releases mitochondrial DAMPs into the circulation with functionally important immune consequences, including formyl peptides and mitochondrial DNA, which promote PMN Ca2+ flux and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, thus leading to PMN migration and degranulation in vitro and in vivo.
