"Next, we considered whether APOE might efflux cholesterol from macrophages, thereby causing a reduction in cellular cholesterol levels that activates the NLRP3 inflammasome ."

reach
"As shown in Figure 8B, acute depletion of cellular cholesterol using methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) induced IL-1β secretion from THP-1 macrophages, whereas its inactive analog, αCD, did not, which is consistent with activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by cholesterol depletion."

reach
"Conversely, induction of cholesterol efflux from myeloid cells inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation 73."

reach
"Taken together, these results indicate that lysosomal cholesterol accumulation can decrease LMP, NLRP3 inflammasome activation, and IL-1beta release."

reach
"In agreement, acute depletion of the ER cholesterol pool by statin treatment abrogated the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome."

reach
"We speculate that as well as triggering AIM2 and NLRP3, loss of cholesterol metabolic homeostasis activates still to be defined HAMP sensors."

reach
"In addition, inhibition of cholesterol efflux from neutrophils can also increase the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory bodies, promote neutrophil infiltration and release NETs, thus accelerating the formation of atherosclerotic lesions."
