Abstract

The inflammasome is a cytoplasmic protein complex that processes interleukins (IL)-1β and IL-18, and drives a form of cell death known as pyroptosis. Oligomerization of this complex is actually the second step of activation, and a priming step must occur first. This involves transcriptional upregulation of pro-IL-1β, inflammasome sensor NLRP3, or the non-canonical inflammasome sensor caspase-11. An additional aspect of priming is the post-translational modification of particular inflammasome constituents. Priming is typically accomplished in vitro using a microbial Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand. However, it is now clear that inflammasomes are activated during the progression of sterile inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis, metabolic disease, and neuroinflammatory disorders. Therefore, it is time to consider the endogenous factors and mechanisms that may prime the inflammasome in these conditions.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • NLRP3 inflammasome activation is a two-hit process in which signal 1 primes transcription and signal 2 activates the inflammasome and induces secretion of IL-1β and IL-18.

    “The functional regulation of an active NLRP3 inflammasome in a cell is a ‘two-hit’ process, in which signal 1 primes the transcription of the inflammasome and signal 2, either by the same and/or additional stimuli, activates the inflammasome and induces secretion of two pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18 (REFS63,64).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
