Inflammation, as a common immune response to various infections or injuries, can cause many dangerous and complicated diseases. Inflammasome is a protein complex playing a vital role in an inflammation process, and the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been the most-widely studied one. Recent evidence suggests the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-NLRP3 signaling pathway to be a possible NLRP3 inflammasome regulation model. Numerous recent preclinical reports indicate that application of antioxidants could scavenge excessive ROS and attenuate inflammatory responses through suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. This article, at first, briefly overviews how ROS may mediate the regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Then, preclinical researches of various ROS scavengers for treating NLRP3 inflammasome-associated diseases are focused on and critically analyzed. Finally, the potential of antioxidant treatment as a therapy for inflammation is to be discussed, and perspectives on future research directions will be shared.

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a prevalent male sexual disorder, commonly associated with hypertension, though the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Objective: This study aims to explore the role of Fatty acid synthase (Fasn) in hypertension-induced ED and evaluate the therapeutic potential of the Fasn inhibitor C75.

Materials And Methods: Erectile function was assessed by determining the intracavernous pressure/mean arterial pressure (ICP/MAP) ratio, followed by the collection of cavernous tissue for transcriptomic and non-targeted metabolomic analyses.

Clinical significance of NLRP3 inflammasome and related cell molecules in early diabetic kidney disease in elderly population.

J Med Biochem

Background: The paper aims to investigate the expression level of NLRP3 inflammasome and its related cell molecules in early diabetes kidney disease (EDKD) in the elderly and its clinical application value.

Methods: From October 2021 to April 2023, 50 elderly patients with T2DM (T2DM group), 50 elderly patients with EDKD (EDKD group) and 50 elderly people who passed the health check-up (healthy group) were chosen as the study subjects. Plasma NLRP3 inflammasome and related cells (blood leukocyte count, monocyte count, lymphocyte count) molecular (NT-proBNP and others) levels are tested, and Pearson correlation analysis is utilized to explore the correlation among plasma NLRP3 inflammasome and related cells, molecules, and renal function indicators (UACR, BUN, Ucr) in elderly patients with EDKD.

Inhibition of NLRP3 enhances pro-apoptotic effects of FLT3 inhibition in AML.

FLT3 mutations occur in approximately 25% of all acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients. While several FLT3 inhibitors have received FDA approval, their use is currently limited to combination therapies with chemotherapy, as resistance occurs, and efficacy decreases when the inhibitors are used alone. Given the highly heterogeneous nature of AML, there is an urgent need for novel targeted therapies that address the disease from multiple angles.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prominent neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central nervous system in the elderly. Current understanding of AD primarily centers on the gradual decline in cognitive and memory functions, believed to be influenced by factors including mitochondrial dysfunction, β-amyloid aggregation, and neuroinflammation. Emerging research indicates that neuroinflammation plays a significant role in the development of AD, with the inflammasome potentially mediating inflammatory responses that contribute to neurodegeneration.
