NLRC5 is a transcriptional regulator of genes governing T cell responses. Most characterized NLRs are instead innate immune sensors forming complexes leading to pyroptosis. Raising exciting questions, Sundaram and colleagues now demonstrate that NLRC5 forms large complexes and causes PANoptosis (immunogenic cell death), in response to heme in inflammatory contexts.

Background/purpose: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing protein 5 (NLRC5) plays a regulatory role in innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in periodontitis remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of NLRC5 on periodontitis and the underlying mechanism.

Kidney diseases represent a significant global public health challenge, characterized by complex pathogenesis, high incidence, low awareness, insufficient early screening, and substantial treatment disparities. Effective therapeutic options remain lacking. Programmed cell death (PCD), including apoptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis, play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of various kidney diseases.

Helicobacter infection is a key cause of gastric B cell mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. This study examined the role of B cell-activating factor (BAFF), a major driver of B cell proliferation and many B cell disorders, in this malignancy using a model in which conditional knockout mice for NOD-like receptor family CARD domain-containing 5 (Nlrc5) are infected with Helicobacter felis. Gastric BAFF production was significantly increased in H.

Article Synopsis
- Beta-2 microglobulin (β2M) is identified as a potential marker for diagnosing B-cell malignancies, particularly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL).
- A comprehensive analysis found several genetic variations linked to β2M that correlate with an increased risk of DLBCL and HL, while no significant associations were observed with other B-cell cancers like follicular lymphoma or chronic lymphoid leukemia.
- The study indicates that dysfunction in the innate immune system may be a key factor linking elevated β2M levels with the risk of these specific B-cell malignancies.
NLRC5 exerts anti-endometriosis effects through inhibiting ERβ-mediated inflammatory response.

Background: Endometriosis is well known as a chronic inflammatory disease. The development of endometriosis is heavily influenced by the estrogen receptor β (ERβ), while NOD-like receptors (NLRs) family CARD domain-containing 5 (NLRC5) exhibits anti-inflammatory properties during endometriosis. However, whether NLRC5-mediated anti-inflammation is involved in the ERβ-mediated endometriosis is still uncertain.
