"Stimulation of the P2X purinoceptor 7 (P2X7) by ATP release from damaged cells or by E. coli bacterial endotoxin also activates NLRP3 in monocytes/macrophages [14], while Sirtuin 2 (SIRT2), a class III nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent deacetylase ubiquitously expressed in cellular nuclei and cytoplasm [15], can prevent acetylation-dependent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome under conditions such as aging and nutrient overload [16,17]."
