Mitochondrial DNA oxidation propagates autoimmunity by enabling plasmacytoid dendritic cells induce Tfh differentiation
2024-10-14
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>NLRP3 inflammasome activation depends on stress-induced production of oxidized mitochondrial DNA (Ox-mtDNA) fragments that enter the cytoplasm to bind NLRP3 and activate caspase-1. Along with pro-IL-1β processing, caspase-1 generates gasdermin D pores that result in circulatory mtDNA release. Elevated amounts of circulating cell-free (ccf)-mtDNA, which is likely to be oxidized, were doc...
