Abstract
Psychosocial stress (PSS) affects all humans with different intensities and is known to significantly increase inflammation and cardiovascular disease [1,2]. An amplifier of inflammation is an intracellular multiprotein complex, the inflammasome, activation of which leads to pro-inflammatory cytokines production. However, the mechanisms leading to the inflammasome activation in the heart by PSS are not well understood. Here, we identify critical upstream mechanisms leading to NLRP3 inflammasome activation via endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and JAK/STAT pathway. These findings reveal important mechanistic insights into possible upstream targets in controlling excessive inflammation due to PSS.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology publishes work advancing knowledge of the mechanisms responsible for both normal and diseased cardiovascular function. To this end papers are published in all relevant areas. These include (but are not limited to): structural biology; genetics; proteomics; morphology; stem cells; molecular biology; metabolism; biophysics; bioengineering; computational modeling and systems analysis; electrophysiology; pharmacology and physiology. Papers are encouraged with both basic and translational approaches. The journal is directed not only to basic scientists but also to clinical cardiologists who wish to follow the rapidly advancing frontiers of basic knowledge of the heart and circulation.
