Abstract
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytoplasmic multiprotein complex, the assembly of which can be initiated in response to various exogenous or endogenous danger signals. Excessive activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of human inflammatory diseases, suggesting that the NLRP3 inflammasome is a potential target for the treatment of these diseases. However, clinical drugs targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome are still not available. Recent data have elucidated the different signaling pathways or events that can control NLRP3 inflammasome activation and have provided some potential compounds with anti-NLRP3 inflammasome activity. Here, we summarize the molecular mechanisms and diseases involved in NLRP3 inflammasome activation and discuss the potential strategies targeting different aspects of the NLRP3 inflammasome and its implications for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
