LRRK2 promotes the activation of NLRC4 inflammasome during <i>Salmonella</i> Typhimurium infection
18 Aug 2017
Abstract excerpt
Although genetic polymorphisms in the LRRK2 gene are associated with a variety of diseases, the physiological function of LRRK2 remains poorly understood. In this study, we report a crucial role for LRRK2 in the activation of the NLRC4 inflammasome during host defense against Salmonella enteric serovar Typhimurium infection. LRRK2 deficiency reduced caspase-1 activation and IL-1β secretion in response to NLRC4...
