Previous work has reported the closely correlation between inflammation and carcinogenesis, while the role of NALP3, the key component of inflammasome activation in NSCLC remains elusive.
Diethylnitrosamine and thioacetamide-induced hepatic damage and early carcinogenesis in rats: Role of Nrf2 activator dimethyl fumarate and NLRP3 inhibitor glibenclamide.
Our findings indicate that application of the inactivated probiotic, <i>E. faecalis</i>, may be a useful and safe strategy for attenuation of NLRP3-mediated colitis and inflammation-associated colon carcinogenesis.
Histopathological examination found LPS-induced pulmonary inflammatory changes enhanced lung tumorigenesis induced by B(a)p in WT mice, deletion of NLRP3 improved the inflammatory changes induced by LPS and the number and size of pathological tumor nests induced by B(a)p or B(a)p plus LPS.
Overall, our results demonstrate that the NLRP3 inflammasome/IL-1β pathway promotes tumorigenesis in HNSCC and inactivation of this pathway delays tumor growth, accompanied by decreased immunosuppressive cell accumulation and an increased number of effector T cells.
Nucleotide-binding domain leucine-rich family pyrin-containing 3 (NLRP3) has been reported to be associated with tumorigenesis and progression; however, its expression and function in human glioma remain unclear.
However, the roles of NLRP3 inflammasome in the tumorigenesis and development of cancer stem cells (CSCs) of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) remain ambiguous.
Inflammasomes are mediators of inflammation, and constitutively activated NLRP3 inflammasomes have been linked to interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-mediated tumorigenesis in human melanoma.
These novel data show that asbestos-induced priming and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome triggers an autocrine feedback loop modulated via the IL-1 receptor in mesothelial cell type targeted in pleural infection, fibrosis, and carcinogenesis.
Bone marrow reconstitution experiments show that Nlrp3 gene expression and function in hematopoietic cells, rather than intestinal epithelial cells or stromal cells, is responsible for protection against increased tumorigenesis.
