High Glucose and Lipopolysaccharide Prime NLRP3 Inflammasome via ROS/TXNIP Pathway in Mesangial Cells by Hong Feng, Junling Gu, Fang Gou, Wei Huang, Chenlin Gao, Guo Chen, Yang Long, Xueqin Zhou, Maojun Yang, Shuang Liu, Shishi Lü, Qiaoyan Luo, Yong Xu

“…The NLRP3 inflammasome acts as both a sensor and a regulator of the inflammatory response. The NLRP3 inflammasome responds to exogenous and endogenous danger signals, resulting in cleavage of procaspase-1 and activation of cytokines IL-1β, IL-18, and IL-33, ultimately triggering an inflammatory cascade reaction. …”
