To induce an appropriate immune response, pathogen- or damage-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) are sensed by innate immune cells. One of the first mechanisms after recognition is the assembly of an inflammasome leading to the cleavage of pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18 into the active cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, respectively. Hyperinflammatory conditions and excessive activation of the inflammasome, however, are drivers of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is suggested to be involved in the development of gout, artherosclerosis, type II diabetes, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), various types of cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
