<i>Ogg1</i> -Dependent DNA Repair Regulates NLRP3 Inflammasome and Prevents Atherosclerosis
6 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: Activation of NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin domain containing 3) inflammasome-mediating interleukin (IL)-1β secretion has emerged as an important component of inflammatory processes in atherosclerosis. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is detrimental in atherosclerosis, and mitochondria are central regulators of the nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin...
