"The NLRP3 inflammasome, a multi protein intracellular pattern recognition receptor complex that facilitates the cleavage and secretion of the pro inflammatory cytokines IL-1beta and IL-18, can be inhibited by ethanol and we sought to better understand the mechanism through which this occurs and whether chemically similar molecules exert comparable effects."
reach
"We show that ethanol can specifically inhibit activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, resulting in attenuated IL-1beta and caspase-1 cleavage and secretion, as well as diminished ASC speck formation, without affecting potassium efflux, in a mouse macrophage cell line (J774), mouse bone marrow derived dendritic cells, mouse neutrophils, and human PBMCs."
reach
"The results reported here are important because, in combination with evidence that LUX inhibits TLR signaling and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome at concentrations well below those attained in patients, they indicate that LUX as a unique kinase profile quite different from that of IB and suggest that LUX may have activity against autoimmune and inflammatory diseases of multiple types in addition to lymphomas."
reach
"Some evidence on the conflicting effects of ethanol on NLRP3 inflammasome activation has been presented : Ethanol markedly attenuated activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in response to diverse danger signals, including ATP and nigericin, in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed macrophages."
reach
"We report here that acute ethanol administration can override the effects of chronic ethanol and inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome activation (XREF_FIG), helping to explain why alcoholics who have a background of chronic inflammatory symptoms still experience transient immunosuppression after binge drinking."
