TBK1- and IKKe-mediated control of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and regulation of cell death

Abstract:

Macrophages are equipped with Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRR), such as Toll-like receptors, to detect pathogens or damage signals. Activation of PRRs results in the upregulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and phagocytic activity to clear the infection but also in a pro-survival programme. If the infection is not cleared and the cell is compromised or invaded by pathogens, intracellular sensors of damage are activated. The NLRP3 inflammasome is one of these intracellular sensors of i...
