Novel Role for Tranilast in Regulating NLRP3 Ubiquitination, Vascular Inflammation, and Atherosclerosis
1 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background Aberrant activation of the NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3) inflammasome is thought to play a causative role in atherosclerosis. NLRP3 is kept in an inactive ubiquitinated state to avoid unwanted NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that pharmacologic manipulating of NLRP3...
