Abstract

Background

Recently, several studies have demonstrated that the NLRP3 inflammasome participates in detecting cellular damage and mediating inflammatory responses to aseptic tissue injury following cerebral ischemia. More importantly, blocking or inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome at multiple levels, such as its expression, assembly and activity, may offer substantial promise to salvage neurological deterioration during ischemic stroke. However, the specific mechanisms about the contribution of NLRP3 to neurovascular damage remain to be established.

Materials and methods

In this paper, we will review the molecular structure, expression and assembly of NLRP3 inflammasome, and illustrate its possible roles and effects in ischemic stroke. Moreover, we will speculate its activity and mechanism in stroke pathogenesis, and present the recent advances and challenges in potential therapies targeting NLRP3 inflammsome.

Results and conclusion

Mounting evidence has demonstrated that NLRP3 inflammasome plays a prominent role in the pathogenesis and progression of ischemic stroke, which indicates the higher possibility to target NLRP3 inflammasome in future stroke therapy. However, many aspects of the biology of NLRP3 inflammasome to stroke are still not well defined or even completely unknown. As the mechanistic insight of the NLRP3 inflammasomes increases, opportunities to develop new therapeutic strategies for patients with ischemic stroke are expected to enhance proportionately.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
