It is unclear whether P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) mediates NOD-like receptor family protein 3 (NLRP3)-dependent IL-1β secretion and spirochete phagocytosis in syphilis. This study was conducted to investigate the role of P2X7R in modifying NLRP3-dependent IL-1β secretion and regulating phagocytosis by Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum)-induced macrophages.
