RT Journal Article T1 Targeting NLRP3 (Nucleotide-Binding Domain, Leucine-Rich-Containing Family, Pyrin Domain-Containing-3) Inflammasome in Cardiovascular Disorders. A1 Wang, Zheng A1 Hu, Wei A1 Lu, Chenxi A1 Ma, Zhiqiang A1 Jiang, Shuai A1 Gu, Chunhu A1 Acuña-Castroviejo, Darío A1 Yang, Yang K1 atherosclerosis K1 cardiovascular diseases K1 inflammation K1 interleukins K1 myocardial ischemia AB Inflammation is an important innate immune response to infection or tissue damage. Inflammasomes are involved in the onset and development of inflammation. The NLRP3 (nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich-containing family, pyrin domain-containing-3) inflammasome is the best-characterized inflammasome. Recent evidence has indicated the importance of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disorders. To further understand the roles of the NLRP3 inflammasome in the cardiovascular system, we provide a comprehensive overview and discuss the remaining questions. First, a summary of NLRP3 inflammasome in the cardiovascular system is introduced. Then, the associations between NLRP3 inflammasome and cardiovascular disorders are presented. Finally, we discuss existing problems and potential directions with this issue. The information compiled here summarizes recent progress, thus potentially aiding in the understanding of the NLRP3 inflammasome in cardiovascular disorders, designing experimental and clinical research about the NLRP3 inflammasome, and promoting therapeutics for cardiovascular disorders.
