NAC inhibits PYCARD. 3 / 3
| 3

reach
"Moreover, the ROS scavenger NAC inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation, indicated by the decreased expression of NLRP3 (XREF_FIG), ASC (XREF_FIG), and procaspase-1 (XREF_FIG) induced by HG and H/R (XREF_FIG)."

reach
"NAC significantly abrogated PrP106-126-induced NALP3 and ASC upregulation; the mRNA levels of NALP3 and ASC significantly decreased after NAC treatment in PrP106-126-treated microglia and dropped to 68% and 54%, respectively, of the levels seen in microglia treated with PrP106-126 only."

reach
"In the present study, we found that the ROS inhibitor NAC significantly reduced the production of IL-1beta, and blocked NALP3 and ASC upregulation after exposure to PrP106-126, suggesting a role of ROS generation in the activation of the inflammasome in PrP106-126-stimulated microglia."
