KCNN4 links PIEZO-dependent mechanotransduction to NLRP3 inflammasome activation
2023-03-08
Abstract excerpt
Immune cells sense the microenvironment to fine-tune their inflammatory responses. Patients with cryopyrin associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), caused by mutations in the NLRP3 gene, develop auto-inflammation triggered by non-antigenic, e.g. environmental cues. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we uncover that KCNN4, a calcium-activated potassium channel, links PIEZO-mediated mechano...
