Dickkopf1 is a Novel Endogenous Ligand for priming NLRP3 Inflammasome in Macrophages via TLR4
2025-03-13
Abstract excerpt
Dickkopf1(DKK1) is a quintessential Wnt antagonist and immunomodulator in various inflammatory diseases. The underlying molecular mechanisms of DKK1-mediated immunomodulation remain elusive. Here, we identified TLR4 as a new receptor for DKK1 to activate NFκΒ pathway-mediated gene expressions and pyroptosis via NLRP3 inflammasome in human and mouse macrophages. DKK1 employed TLR4 to initiate NFκB signaling cascade...
