Abstract excerpt
Pyrin/TRIM20 is expressed in the neutrophils and monocytes/macrophages and regulates caspase-1 activation and interleukin-1β maturation. Although the mutations in the PRY/SPRY domain of pyrin cause familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), the mechanism of how mutated pyrin provokes excessive inflammation in FMF patients is not well understood. The present study investigated the role of pyrin/TRIM20 in inflammation and...
