TCQA, A Natural Caffeoylquinic Acid Derivative Attenuates H 2 O 2 -Induced Neuronal Apoptosis by Suppressing Phosphorylation of MAPKs Signaling Pathway

Yue Yang et al.

Summary: 1,3,5-Tri-O-caffeoyl quinic acid exhibits antioxidant and neuroprotective effects, inhibiting neuronal apoptosis induced by oxidative stress and reducing damage associated with oxidative stress. The compound acts by downregulating proapoptotic proteins, upregulating antiapoptotic proteins, inhibiting MAPK signaling pathway, and activating Akt, offering potential for treating oxidative stress-related neurological diseases.

The human inflammasomes

Oonagh Paerewijck et al.

Summary: Two decades of research on inflammasomes have provided extensive knowledge on their regulatory mechanisms and pathological roles, particularly in rodent models. Recent progress in the field has focused on human-specific inflammasomes and their activation mechanisms, as well as their potential involvement in auto-inflammatory, metabolic, and neoplastic diseases. Clinical trials and translational efforts for developing inflammasome-targeted therapies have shown promising results.

NLRP3 inflammasome activation and cell death

Yi Huang et al.

Summary: The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic multiprotein complex that responds to microbial infection, endogenous danger signals, and environmental stimuli. Its activation can induce pyroptosis and release of inflammatory cytokines, contributing to innate immune defense. However, aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is associated with inflammatory diseases, and there is a close relationship between cell death pathways and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Inflammasomes as therapeutic targets in human diseases

Yangxin Li et al.

Summary: Inflammasomes, as protein complexes in the innate immune system, play a dual role in diseases, with outcomes that can be either beneficial or detrimental depending on the disease and genetic background. The concept of inflammasome memory and the two-shot activation process are highlighted, along with the proposed M- and N-type inflammation models for targeting the inflammasome pathway in novel therapy development.
