Potassium(1+) inhibits NLRP3. 36 / 36

"Our data suggest that cells in high potassium may suppress the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by two independent mechanisms : 1) by restoring intracellular potassium to normal levels in cells that have undergone leakage of potassium via pore formation (e.g. by nigericin) or stimulation of P2X7 receptors (e.g. by ATP), thereby preventing translational inhibition; and 2) by suppressing the activation of caspase-1 by an unknown mechanism."

"It has also been described that potassium efflux is required for NLRP3 activation by various stimuli, a notion that was mainly attributed to the fact that potassium ionophores (e.g. Nigericin) are strong activators of the NLRP3 inflammasome, whereas high extracellular potassium concentrations that block K + efflux potently inhibit NLRP3 activation."

"The conclusion that decreased intracellular potassium acts as a second signal to trigger activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome was based initially on the observation that loss of potassium induced by nigericin, a potassium ionophore, or by ATP results in the robust release of IL-1beta from cells in an NLRP3 dependent manner XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR."
