"Shikonin decreased NLRP3 inflammasome activation in response to nigericin more potently than acetylshikonin."

reach
"In the present study we showed that shikonin inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by acting on both signals."

reach
"As the recruitment of adaptor protein ASC and activation of caspase-1 are common to several inflammasomes including the AIM2 inflammasome, we were interested whether shikonin specifically inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome."

reach
"We demonstrated that shikonin at non toxic concentrations inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by nigericin."

reach
"Shikonin Suppresses NLRP3 and AIM2 Inflammasomes by Direct Inhibition of Caspase-1."

reach
"For example, Shikonin (extracted from Chinese herb radix arnebiae) ameliorated cardiac dysfunction and inhibited the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced cardiac dysfunction (Guo et al., 2020)."

reach
"Our results demonstrate that shikonin inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation independently of the NLRP3 trigger used, suggesting that it acts at downstream stages of inflammasome activation."

reach
"To determine whether shikonin specifically inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome in response to nigericin or has broader action, we tested its inhibitory capacity in treatment with various NLRP3 inflammasome activators."

reach
"Based on its reported antipyretic and anti-inflammatory properties, we investigated whether shikonin suppresses the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome."

reach
"Correction : Shikonin Suppresses NLRP3 and AIM2 Inflammasomes by Direct Inhibition of Caspase-1."

reach
"We further showed that shikonin suppresses NLRP3 dependent maturation of IL-1beta induced by soluble as well as particulate triggers."
