The Role of the NLRP3 Inflammasome and Programmed Cell Death in Acute Liver Injury

Chaoqun Yu et al.

Summary: Acute liver injury (ALI) is a significant global public health issue, which can rapidly progress to acute liver failure and pose a serious threat to patient's life safety. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and programmed cell death (PCD) play crucial roles in various types of ALI. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the involvement of NLRP3 inflammasome activation and PCD in different types of ALI, offering a valuable reference for future studies.

Protective Effect of Castanopsis sieboldii Extract against UVB-Induced Photodamage in Keratinocytes

Hye Rim Lee et al.

Summary: The ethanol extract of Castanopsis sieboldii leaf (CSL3) has a protective effect against UVB-induced skin damage by restoring cell viability, reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and promoting collagen accumulation and cell migration. The major component of CSL3, epigallocatechin gallate, improves cell viability through regulation of ER stress and autophagy.

Ginsenoside Rb1 Reduces D-GalN/LPS-induced Acute Liver Injury by Regulating TLR4/NF-κB Signaling and NLRP3 Inflammasome

Yimei Liu et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that ginsenoside Rb1 has a protective effect against D-GalN/LPS-induced acute liver injury by attenuating oxidative stress and the inflammatory response. This protective effect may be achieved through inhibiting the activation of the TLR4/NF-kappa B signaling pathway and NLRP3 inflammasome.

Inflammatory biomarkers on an LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell model: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Bruno Matheus Facchin et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the rationality of measuring inflammatory mediators along with nitric oxide levels as a screening method for potential anti-inflammatory effects. The study utilized an in vitro model using RAW 264.7 cells and found that measuring NO levels may be sufficient to screen for possible anti-inflammatory action.

NLRP3 and pyroptosis blockers for treating inflammatory diseases

Rebecca C. Coll et al.

Summary: This article reviews the molecular basis of small molecules under development as novel therapeutics to inhibit NLRP3 inflammasome and summarizes recent strategies to block pyroptosis as a new approach to suppress chronic inflammation. Major recent developments include the elucidation of the mechanisms by which small molecules block NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and GSDMD-induced pyroptosis. The status of clinical trials using agents that block specific components of the NLRP3 pathway and their potential clinical applications for the treatment of many diseases are also discussed.

Chemical inhibition of TRAF6-TAK1 axis as therapeutic strategy of endotoxin-induced liver disease

Song-Hee Kim et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the TRAF6-TAK1 axis is involved in endotoxin-induced liver disease. The activation of TAK1 through TLR4 results in the production of TNF-alpha, a key cytokine in liver disease. Chemical inhibition of the TRAF6-TAK1 axis reduces TNF-alpha expression in Kupffer cells, leading to a decrease in hepatic damage.

AP-1 family transcription factors: a diverse family of proteins that regulate varied cellular activities in classical hodgkin lymphoma and ALK plus ALCL

Zuoqiao Wu et al.

Summary: Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive, anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK+ ALCL) are B and T cell lymphomas that express CD30 and show aberrant expression of AP-1 family of transcription factors. These proteins play various roles in promoting proliferation, suppressing apoptosis, and evading host immune response. Therapeutic strategies targeting AP-1 transcriptional targets or the signaling pathways they regulate are being explored for the treatment of these lymphomas.

Sarah Y. Neshat et al.

Summary: The liver has impressive regenerative potential but certain diseases can lead to liver fibrosis and eventually cirrhosis. This review discusses the complex immunological activities in liver diseases and the potential of mesenchymal stem cells in treatment. Preclinical studies show promising results in inhibiting host immunity, with ongoing clinical trials exploring cellular and non-cellular therapies for liver cirrhosis detection and treatment.
