Diverse Activators of the NLRP3 Inflammasome Promote IL-1β Secretion by Triggering Necrosis
The NLRP3 inflammasome is involved in caspase-1-dependent maturation of IL-1β in many contexts. A two-signal model has emerged for IL-1β maturation, with LPS providing “signal I” and diverse agents such as ATP, Nigericin, streptolysin O, uric acid crystals, and alum salts capable of acting as “signa...
