Inflammasome activation under high cholesterol load triggers a protective microglial phenotype while promoting neuronal pyroptosis
9 Mar 2023
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Persistent inflammatory response in the brain can lead to tissue damage and neurodegeneration. In Alzheimer's disease (AD), there is an aberrant activation of inflammasomes, molecular platforms that drive inflammation through caspase-1-mediated proteolytic cleavage of proinflammatory cytokines and gasdermin D (GSDMD), the executor of pyroptosis. However, the mechanisms underlying the sustained...
