Role of inflammasomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Thorax
January 2025
Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in >10% of all people admitted to critical care and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite more than half a century since its first description, no efficacious pharmacological therapies have been developed, and little progress has been made in improving clinical outcomes. Neutrophils are the principal drivers of ARDS, with their priming and subsequent aberrant downstream functions, including interleukin (IL) 1β and IL-18 secretion, central to the disease pathogenesis.

Small-molecule pectin (SMP) extracted from the leaves of Premna ligustroides Hemsl, with a molecular weight range of 5000-35,000 Da, has demonstrated anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering properties in vitro. This study explored the effects of SMP on hypercholesterolemia in mice, with a focus on inflammation, lipid profiles, and cholesterol metabolism. Mice received SMP at doses of 607, 303, and 152 mg/kg body weight.

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, characterized by substantial loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons, the formation of Lewy bodies (LBs) in the substantia nigra, and pronounced neuroinflammation. The nucleotide-binding domain like leucine-rich repeat- and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is one of the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that function as intracellular sensors in response to both pathogenic microbes and sterile triggers associated with Parkinson's disease. These triggers include reactive oxygen species (ROS), misfolding protein aggregation, and potassium ion (K) efflux.

Interleukin-1β is one of the major cytokines involved in the initiation and persistence of airway inflammation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the association between plasma interleukin-1β and lung function decline remains unclear. We aimed to explore the association between plasma interleukin-1β and lung function decline.
