Small molecule GL-V9 protects against colitis-associated colorectal cancer by limiting NLRP3 inflammasome through autophagy
11 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Emerging evidence suggests that NLRP3 inflammasome provides a link between colitis-associated colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel diseases. Autophagy is induced in macrophages by AMPK activation and regulates NLRP3 inflammasome to maintain intracellular homeostasis. Here we report that a small-molecule AMPK activator (GL-V9) exerts potent anti-inflammatory effects on macrophages in vitro and in vivo, which...
