Abstract
Organelle damage is a significant contributor to myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This damage often leads to disruption of endoplasmic reticulum protein regulatory programs and dysfunction of mitochondrial energy metabolism. Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum are seamlessly connected through the mitochondrial-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane (MAM), which serves as a crucial site for the exchange of organelles and metabolites. However, there is a lack of reports regarding the communication of information and metabolites between mitochondria and related organelles, which is a crucial factor in triggering myocardial I/R damage. To address this research gap, this review described the role of crosstalk between mitochondria and the correlative organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomal and nuclei involved in reperfusion injury of the heart. In summary, this review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the crosstalk between organelles in myocardial I/R injury, with the ultimate goal of facilitating the development of targeted therapies based on this knowledge.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the effects and mechanism of Atorvastatin on Myocardial Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury in vitro and in vivo. The effects of Atorvastatin on Silent information regulator l (SIRT1) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress were investigated in Myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury rat model and hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-treated H9c2 cells. Pathological changes, inflammatory and heart injury markers, cell apoptosis and cell death, SIRT1 and cleaved Caspase-12 expressions, and ER stress relative proteins were measured through HE, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, quantitative TUNEL and flow cytometry, immunofluorescence and Western blotting with the assistance of the SIRT1 specific inhibitor EX527 and ER stress pathway blocker treatment. The results of our study demonstrated that atorvastatin treatment attenuated MI/R and H/R mediated inflammatory and heart injury markers, cell apoptosis and cell death, SIRT1 and cleaved Caspase-12 expressions, and ER stress relative protein levels. Finally, we found that atorvastatin reversed SIRT1 expression and blockade the ER stress pathway and increase the cardiomyocytes survival rate in the presence of MI/R and H/R. Our findings provided a new rationale for subsequent academic and clinical research on MI/R injury.

Abstract
Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a popular treatment candidate for myocardial injury. This work investigated the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-secreted EVs-derived miR-200b-3p on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammatory response after myocardial infarction (MI) through targeting BCL2L11 (Bcl-2-like protein 11) . Methods and Results EVs from MSCs were isolated and identified. EVs from MSCs with transfection of miR-200b-3p for overexpression were injected into MI mice. The effect of miR-200b-3p on cardiac function, infarction area, myocardial fibrosis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and inflammatory response was determined in MI mice. The targeting relationship between miR-200b-3p and BCL2L11 was verified, and the interaction between BCL2L11 and NLR family pyrin domain containing 1 (NLRP1) was also verified. MI mice were injected with an overexpressing BCL2L11 lentiviral vector to clarify whether BCL2L11 can regulate the effect of miR-200b-3p on MI mice. EVs from MSCs were successfully extracted. MSCs-EVs improved cardiac function and reduced infarction area, apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, myocardial fibrosis, and inflammation in MI mice. Upregulation of miR-200b-3p further enhanced the effects of MSCs-EVs on the myocardial injury of MI mice. BCL2L11 was targeted by miR-200b-3p and bound to NLRP1. Upregulation of BCL2L11 negated the role of miR-200b-3p-modified MSCs-EVs in MI mice. Conclusions A summary was obtained that miR-200b-3p-encapsulated MSCs-EVs protect against MI-induced apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and inflammation via suppressing BCL2L11.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are known as the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. As an innate immune signaling complex, inflammasomes can be activated by various cardiovascular risk factors and regulate the activation of caspase-1 and the production and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β and IL-18. Accumulating evidence supports that inflammasomes play a pivotal role in the progression of atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and heart failure. The best-known inflammasomes are NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4, and AIM2 inflammasomes, among which NLRP3 inflammasome is the most widely studied in the immune response and disease development. This review focuses on the activation and regulation mechanism of inflammasomes, the role of inflammasomes in cardiovascular diseases, and the research progress of targeting NLRP3 inflammasome and IL-1β for related disease intervention.

Abstract
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury is the main cause of increased mortality and disability in cardiovascular diseases. The injury involves many pathological processes, such as oxidative stress, calcium homeostasis imbalance, inflammation, and energy metabolism disorders, and these pathological stimuli can activate endoplasmic reticulum stress. In the early stage of ischemia, endoplasmic reticulum stress alleviates the injury as an adaptive survival response, but the long-term stress on endoplasmic reticulum amplifies oxidative stress, inflammation, and calcium overload to accelerate cell damage and apoptosis. Therefore, regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress may be a mechanism to improve ischemia/reperfusion injury. Chinese herbal medicine has a long history of clinical application and unique advantages in the treatment of ischemic heart diseases. This review focuses on the effect of Chinese herbal medicine on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury from the perspective of regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 276:114187. [PMID: 33957207 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2021.114187] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2021] [Revised: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 04/29/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE The genus Hypericum are widely distributed in China. Hypericum perforatum L. (genus Hypericum, family Hypericaceae) has a long history as a traditional Chinese medicine, which was traditionally used for the treatment of emotional distress, cardiothoracic depression, and acute mastitis. Hyperoside (Hyp) extracted from Hypericum perforatum L. has been affirmed to exert therapeutic effects on cardiovascular diseases, with widespread existence in plants of genus Hypericum. Hyp could also be extracted from Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge (genus Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge, family Rosaceae), another traditional Chinese medicine that traditionally prevented and treated heart disease in China. The cardioprotection and mechanism of Hyp comprise anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, activation of autophagy, and reversal of cardiac remodeling. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to explore the Hyp effect against MI and its underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The MI model was constructed in the KM mice via a ligating surgery of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Subsequently, the mice were divided into following seven groups: Sham group, MI group, MI + Hyp 9 mg/kg group, MI + Hyp18 mg/kg group, MI + Hyp36 mg/kg group, MI + Fosinopril group, and MI + Hyp-36 mg/kg+3-MA group. Each group was treated with Hyp in different concentrations or positive medicine for two weeks except for the sham group. After two weeks, we examined the cardiac function, electrocardiogram (ECG), myocardial hypertrophy in the non-infarct area, collagen volume fraction (CVF), perivascular collagen area (PVCA) in the infarct area, and several serum cytokines. Autophagy and inflammation in cardiomyocytes were assessed via measuring autophagy-associated proteins and NLRP1 inflammasome pathway related proteins. RESULTS Hyp reversed LV remodeling and adverse ECG changes through reducing CVF and myocardial hypertrophy. Additionally, Hyp treatment could reduce inflammation levels in cardiomyocytes, compared with those in MI group. Moreover, NLRP1inflammation pathway was activated after MI. Up-regulation of autophagic flux suppressed NLRP1 inflammation pathway after Hyp treatment. However, co-treatment with 3-MA abrogated above effects of Hyp. CONCLUSIONS Hyp had obvious protective effect on heart injury in MI mice. Echocanrdiographic and histological measurements demonstrated that Hyp treatment improved cardiac function, and ameliorated myocardial hypertrophy and fibrinogen deposition after MI. The partial mechanism is that Hyp could up-regulate autophagy after MI. Furthermore, the promotion of autophagic flux would suppress NLRP1 inflammation pathway induced by MI.

Dexmedetomidine Attenuates Ischemia/Reperfusion-Induced Myocardial Inflammation and Apoptosis Through Inhibiting Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Signaling. J Inflamm Res 2021; 14:1217-1233.

Abstract
Background Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS)-mediated myocardial inflammation and apoptosis plays an important role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Dexmedetomidine has been used clinically with sedative, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine pretreatment on inflammation, apoptosis, and the expression of ERS signaling during myocardial I/R injury. Methods Rats underwent myocardial ischemia for 30 min and reperfusion for 6 h, and H9c2 cardiomyocytes were subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation (OGD/R) injury (OGD for 12 h and reoxygenation for 3 h). Dexmedetomidine was administered prior to myocardial ischemia in rats or ODG in cardiomyocytes. In addition, the α2-adrenergic receptor antagonist (yohimbine) or the PERK activator (CCT020312) was given prior to dexmedetomidine treatment. Results Dexmedetomidine pretreatment decreased serum levels of cardiac troponin I, reduced myocardial infarct size, alleviated histological structure damage, and improved left ventricular function following myocardial I/R injury in rats. In addition, dexmedetomidine pretreatment increased cell viability and reduced cytotoxicity following OGD/R injury in cardiomyocytes. Mechanistically, the cardioprotection offered by dexmedetomidine was mediated via the inhibition of inflammation and apoptosis through downregulating the expression of the ERS signaling pathway, including glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP), inositol-requiring protein 1 (IRE1), and activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6). Conversely, the protective effects of dexmedetomidine were diminished by blocking the α2 adrenergic receptors with yohimbine or promoting PERK phosphorylation with CCT020312. Conclusion Dexmedetomidine pretreatment protects the hearts against I/R injury via inhibiting inflammation and apoptosis through downregulation of the ERS signaling pathway. Future clinical studies are needed to confirm the cardioprotective effects of dexmedetomidine in patients at risk of myocardial I/R injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation-mediated pyroptosis pathway has been linked to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury. This study explored whether uric acid (UA) aggravates MI/R injury through NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis. METHODS In vivo, a mouse MI/R model was established by ligating the left coronary artery, and a mouse hyperuricemia model was created by intraperitoneal injection of potassium oxonate (PO). Then, the myocardial infarction (MI) size; terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) immunofluorescence; and serum levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), and UA, as well as the expression level of pyroptosis-related protein and caspase-3 in heart tissues, were measured. Separately, primary mouse cardiomyocytes were cultured in vitro to create a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model. We then compared cardiomyocytes viability, TUNEL immunofluorescence, and the levels of LDH, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and pyroptosis-related protein and caspase-3 in cardiomyocytes. RESULTS In vivo, the MI area, levels of CK-MB and LDH, rate of cell death, and pyroptosis-related protein and the expression of caspase-3 were significantly higher in the MI/R group than in the sham group, and high UA levels worsened these changes. In vitro, cardiomyocytes viability was significantly downregulated, and the levels of ROS, LDH, pyroptosis-related protein, caspase-3, and the rate of cardiomyocyte death were significantly higher in the H/R + UA group compared with the HR group. Administration of an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor and ROS scavenger reversed these effects. CONCLUSION UA aggravates MI/R-induced activation of the NLRP3 inflammatory cascade and pyroptosis by promoting ROS generation, while inflammasome inhibitors and ROS scavengers partly reverse the injury.

Abstract
Although acute myocardial infarction is one of the most common fatal diseases worldwide, the understanding of its underlying pathogenesis continues to develop. Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) can restore myocardial oxygen and nutrient supply. However, a large number of studies have demonstrated that recovery of blood perfusion after acute ischemia causes reperfusion injury to the heart. With progress made in the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of myocardial I/R and oxidative stress, a novel area of research that merits greater study has been identified, that of I/R-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress (ERS). Cardiac I/R can alter the function of the ER, leading to the accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins. The resulting ERS then induces the activation of signal transduction pathways, which in turn contribute to the development of I/R injury. The mechanism of I/R injury, and the causal relationship between I/R and ERS are reviewed in the present article.

Am J Cancer Res 2020; 10:11479-11496. [PMID: 33052227 PMCID: PMC7546007 DOI: 10.7150/thno.49870] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Tubular damage initiated by inflammatory response and ischemic/hypoxic stress is a hallmark of septic acute kidney injury (AKI), albeit the molecular mechanism coupling the two events remains unclear. We investigated the intrinsic nature of tubular damage with respect to inflammatory/hypoxic stress during septic AKI. Methods: The apoptotic response of tubular cells to LPS stimuli was analyzed before and after hypoxia exposure. Cellular ubiquitination, co-immunoprecipitation, GST-pulldown, in vitro protein kinase assay, immunofluorescence and CRISPR technology were adopted to determine the molecular mechanism underlying this process. In vivo characterization was performed in wild-type and DAPK1-/- mice models of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Results: We found that the MyD88-dependent inflammatory response couples to tubular damage during LPS stimuli under hypoxia in a Fn14/SCFFbxw7α-dispensable manner via recruitment of caspase-8 with TRIF-RIP1 signalosome mediated by DAPK1, which directly binds to and phosphorylates Pellino1 at Ser39, leading to Pellino1 poly-ubiquitination and turnover. Either pharmacological deactivation or genetic ablation of DAPK1 makes tubular cells refractory to the LPS-induced damage in the context of hypoxia, while kinase activity of DAPK1 is essential for ruin execution. Targeting DAPK1 effectively protects mice against septic AKI and potentiates the efficacy of a MyD88 homodimerization inhibitor, ST2825. Conclusion: Our findings provide a rationale for the mechanism whereby inflammation intersects with hypoxic tubular damage during septic AKI through a previously unappreciated role of DAPK1-inducible Ser39 phosphorylation in Pellino1 turnover and underscore that combined targeting DAPK1 and MyD88 might be a feasible strategy for septic AKI management.

Abstract
Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury in myocardial cells occurs frequently during cardiac surgery and affects the prognosis of patients. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of dexmedetomidine (Dex) on H/R injury and its association with the C/EBP-homologous protein (CHOP) signaling pathway. An H/R model was constructed in H9C2 cells to investigate the effects of Dex on H/R injury. Cell viability, apoptosis and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels were determined by MTT, flow cytometry and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine colorimetric assays, respectively. The expression levels of inflammatory factors were measured by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and CHOP and glucose-regulated protein-78 (Grp78) expression levels were detected by RT-qPCR and western blotting. CHOP was overexpressed or knocked down to detect the cell viability, apoptosis, LDH level and the expression levels of inflammatory factors and Grp78. The results demonstrated that in the H/R group, cell viability was lower and apoptosis was higher, and that higher levels of LDH and inflammatory factors were present compared with those in the Dex+H/R group. Silencing of CHOP significantly reversed the H/R-reduced cell viability, high apoptotic rate and LDH levels, as well as the elevated expression levels of inflammatory factors and Grp78 caused by H/R injury, whereas the overexpression of CHOP inhibited cell viability and promoted apoptosis, elevated LDH level and expression of inflammatory factors and Grp78 compared with the negative control. Additionally, pretreatment with Dex significantly alleviated the H/R injury; thus, Dex may protect H9C2 cells against H/R induced cell injury, possibly by suppressing the CHOP signaling pathway.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and glucose-regulated protein (GRP) 78, as well as the inflammatory factors nuclear factor (NF)-κB and IκBα, to assess how social defeat stress induces myocardial injury. Furthermore, we evaluated the protective effects of the ER stress inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid (PBA) on myocardial injury in mice. METHODS Adult mice were divided into control, control + PBA, social defeat, and social defeat + PBA groups. The social defeat and social defeat + PBA groups were exposed to social defeat stress for 10 days. Cardiac tissues from all groups were analyzed after social defeat stress. H9C2 cells were used to detect the role of the ER stress agonist thapsigargin on expression of ER stress and inflammatory markers. RESULTS Social defeat stress promoted apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, increased CHOP, NF-κB and, phospho-NF-κB protein expression, and decreased GRP78 and IκBα protein expression. Moreover, PBA significantly reversed these changes and attenuated thapsigargin-induced increased expression of CHOP and phospho-NF-κB, and decreased IκBα expression in H9C2 cells. CONCLUSIONS Social defeat stress initiates ER stress, promotes expression of inflammatory factors, and induces myocardial injury. Inhibiting ER stress could protect the myocardium from social defeat stress-induced myocardial injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the expression of NLRP1 inflammasomes in myocardial tissues in rats with a high-fat and highsugar diet and in diabetic rats analyze the role of NLRP1 inflammasomes in the pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. METHODS Male SD rats were divided into normal control group, high-sugar and high-fat diet (HC) group and diabetes group. Rat models of diabetes were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ; 30 mg/kg). Serum levels of cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and fasting insulin (FINS) were measured after 8 weeks of feeding, and the insulin resistance index (IRI) and insulin sensitivity index (ISI) were calculated; Echocardiographic evaluation of cardiac structure and function was performed, and Western blotting and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qRCP) were used to detect the protein and mRNA expressions of NLRP1, ASC, and caspase 1 in the myocardial tissue. RESULTS Compared with the control rats, the rats in the HC group had significantly increased body weight (BW), serum levels of TG and TC, mRNA expressions of NLRP1 and caspase 1, and the protein expression of NLRP1 (P < 0.01) without significant changes in FINS, IRI, ISI, or cardiac ultrasound findings (P > 0.05) or in myocardial ASC and caspase 1 protein expressions or serum levels of IL-1β and IL-18 (P > 0.05). In the diabetic rats, TC, TG, and FBG levels increased and FINS, ISI decreased significantly (P < 0.01); the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVID) and the left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVSD) increased while the ejection fraction (LVEF), short axis shortening rate (FS), and E/A ratio all decreased. The expressions of NLRP1/ASC/caspase 1 pathway mRNA and NLRP1 and caspase 1 proteins also increased but myocardium ASC protein expression did not show significant changes in the diabetic rats (P > 0.05). IL-1β and IL-18 levels were also significantly higher in the diabetic rats than in the control group (P < 0.05). Compared with those in HC group, the diabetic rats showed significantly increased serum FBG and decreased FINS, ISI and BW (P < 0.01) with decreased LVSD, LVEF and E/A ratio and increased levels of NLRP1 and caspase 1 protein expressions and serum L-1β and IL-18 levels (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Diabetes can cause abnormal changes in cardiac structure and functions and induce inflammatory response in the myocardium, which may be related to the activation of NLRP1/ASC/ caspase 1 inflammasomes.

Let-7b-5p is involved in the response of endoplasmic reticulum stress in acute pulmonary embolism through upregulating the expression of stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1. IUBMB Life 2020; 72:1725-1736.

Abstract
The endogenous non-coding microRNA (miRNA) let-7b-5p is highly expressed in the blood of patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). However, the mechanism underlying the involvement of let-7b-5p in acute PE remains unclear. To address this, we investigated the role of let-7b-5p in acute PE in both in vitro and in vivo experimental models. The results showed that let-7b-5p upregulated the expression of stress-associated endoplasmic reticulum protein 1 (SERP1) at the post-transcriptional level. SERP1 activation leads to modulation of its chaperone protein SEC61B in the response of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Furthermore, our data show that the unfolded protein response was triggered and activation of unfolded proteins GRP78, PERK, RNF121, and CHOP occurred through the PERK-CHOP pathway, resulting in an inflammatory response and apoptosis of lung epithelial cells. These characteristics were promoted by the in vitro expression of a let-7b-5p mimic; conversely, transfection with a let-7b-5p inhibitor decreased the response of ER stress in acute PE. The results from this study thus provide evidence that let-7b-5p promotes protein processing during ER stress response by upregulating SERP1 expression, ultimately resulting in an inflammatory response and apoptosis of lung cells, cumulatively playing a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute PE.

Abstract
NLRP1 is an inflammasome forming pattern recognition receptor (PRR). When activated by pathogen- and damage- associated molecular patterns (PAMPS/DAMPS), NLRP1 inflammasome formation leads to inflammation through the production of proinflammatory cytokines IL-18 and IL-1β. As with other inflammasome forming NLR family members, NLRP1 also regulates cell death processes, termed pyroptosis. The domain structure of NLRP1 differs between mice and humans, making it possible for the function of the inflammasome to differ between species and adds complexity to the study of this NLR family member. In humans, mutations in both coding and non-coding regions of the NLRP1 gene are linked to a variety of diseases. Likewise, interruption of NLRP1 inhibitors or changes in the prevalence of NLRP1 activators can also impact disease pathobiology. Adding to its complexity, the NLRP1 inflammasome plays a dichotomous role in human diseases, functioning to either attenuate or augment miscellaneous biological processes in a tissue specific manner. For example, NLRP1 plays a protective role in the gastrointestinal tract by modulating the microbiome composition; however, it augments neurological disorders, cardio-pulmonary diseases, and cancer through promoting inflammation. Thus, it is critical that the role of NLRP1 in each of these disease processes be robustly defined. In this review, we summarize the current research landscape to provide a better understanding of the mechanisms associated with NLRP1 function and dysfunction in human disease pathobiology. We propose that a better understanding of these mechanisms will ultimately result in improved insight into immune system dysfunction and therapeutic strategies targeting inflammasome function in multiple human diseases.

Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a multimeric protein complex that cleaves caspase-1 and the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) and IL-18. Dysregulated NLRP3 inflammasome signalling is linked to several chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions; thus, understanding the activation mechanisms of the NLRP3 inflammasome is essential. Studies over the past few years have implicated vital roles for distinct intracellular organelles in both the localisation and assembly of the NLRP3 inflammasome. However, conflicting reports exist. Prior to its activation, NLRP3 has been shown to be resident in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and cytosol, although, upon activation, the NLRP3 inflammasome has been shown to assemble in the cytosol, mitochondria, and mitochondria-associated ER membranes by different reports. Finally, very recent work has suggested that NLRP3 may be localised on or adjacent to the Golgi apparatus and that release of mediators from this organelle may contribute to inflammasome assembly. Therefore, NLRP3 may be strategically placed on or in close proximity to these subcellular compartments to both sense danger signals originating from these organelles and use the compartment as a scaffold to assemble the complex. Understanding where and when NLRP3 inflammasome assembly occurs may help identify potential targets for treatment of NLRP3-related disorders.
