    Abstract:

    Inflammasome is a vital part of innate immunity, and NLRP3 inflammasome is by far the most thoroughly studied inflammasome complexes that have been described. NLRP3-activating signals include toxins secreted by pathogens, crystalline molecules and endogenous danger signals. Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome needs two steps:priming and activating. The priming step affects NLRP3 at the transcriptional and posttranscriptional modification levels; the activating step is associated with ion flowing, mitochondria and lysosomes. In this paper we also reviewed the negative regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome at the expression, assembly and activation levels.
