NLRP3 Inflammasome in Vascular Disease: A Recurrent Villain to Combat Pharmacologically

Abstract: Despite the great advances in medicine, mortality from cardiovascular diseases keeps on growing. This tendency is not likely to change considering the pandemic proportions of obesity and diabetes. Besides, the global population is more aged as life expectancy increases, and vascular aging plays a key role in the increased risk of vascular disease. In light of recent trials, namely the CANTOS study, showing the enormous potential of anti-inflammatory therapies and in particular those targeted to IL-1β, a change… Show more

“…To date, several NLRP3 inflammasome activation pathways have been established: the canonical pathway which comprises of a two-signal model involving priming (signal 1) and activation (signal 2); a non-canonical pathway that necessitates caspase-4/caspase-5, secretion of IL-1β and IL-18 which respond to a particular intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced infection of gram-negative bacteria; and the alternative pathway driven by toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) or TLR4 signaling without implicating additional secondary activators [35][36][37]. We further described the canonical pathway in the paragraphs that follow, given that is the main culprit for underlying atherosclerosis.…”

“…Since oxidized low-density-lipoproteins (oxLDLs) can generate the initiation signal, this may be sufficient to send the NLRP3 inflammasome to both the activation and the priming signals [53]. The uptake of oxLDL by macrophage scavenger receptors, such as cluster of differentiation (CD) 36, initiates the formation of a TLR4/TLR6 heterodimer, which further activates the inflammasome and triggers NF-κB signaling [36,54].…”

“…It can detect cellular deviation from homeostasis as a danger signal and then trigger inflammatory responses. This complex is linked to a broad spectrum of diseases, including auto-inflammatory, infectious, and autoimmune diseases [ 7 ]. NLRP3 interacts with ASC and subsequently cleaves pro-Caspase-1.…”
