Deregulated NLRP3 and NLRP1 Inflammasomes and Their Correlations with Disease Activity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
15 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 and 1 (NLRP3 and NLRP1) inflammasomes are molecular platforms that sense the damage or danger signals of cells. We investigated whether NLRP3/NLRP1 inflammasomes are involved in the pathogenesis and progression of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS: Expressions of inflammasome components at the mRNA and protein levels in the peripheral blood...
