NLRP3 воспаление в нейро-воспалении и заболеваниях центральной нервной системы.

Нейроинфламмация играет важную роль в патогенезе различных заболеваний центральной нервной системы (КНС). NLRP3 является важным внутриклеточным многопротеиновым комплексом, состоящим из врожденного иммунного рецептора NLRP3, адаптационного белка ASC и протеза каспе-1. Активация NLRP3 испарения может вызвать пироптоз и высвобождение проинфламамина IL-1β и IL-18, тем самым играя центральную роль в иммунной и подстрекательской реакции. Недавние исследования показали, что воспаление NLRP3 активируется в мозгу, с тем чтобы вызвать нейроинфламму, что приводит к дальнейшим нейронным повреждениям и фу
