Nlrp3 Inflammasome Activation

Abstract Background: The NOD-Like Receptor Protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a crucial component of an array of inflammatory conditions. It functions by boosting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines: interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). Previous studies have established the vital role of the acid sphingomyelinase (ASM)/ceramide (Cer) pathway in the functional outcome of cells, with a particular emphasis on the inflammatory processes. This study aimed to explore the effects and associated underlying mechanism of Cer-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Methods: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in J774A.1 cells was used as an in vitro inflammatory model. Western blotting and Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) were used to detect the protein and mRNA levels, respectively. IL-1β and IL-18 levels were evaluated using ELISA kits. ASM assay kit and immunofluorescence were used to detect ASM activity and Cer content.Results: Imipramine, a well-known inhibitor of ASM, significantly inhibited ASM activity and inhibited Cer accumulation, which indicated ASM activation. Besides, it also suppressed the LPS/ATP-induced expression of proteins and mRNA: thioredoxin interacting protein (TXNIP), NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18. Interestingly verapamil, a TXNIP inhibitor, suppressed LPS/ATP-induced TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome activation; however, it did not affect LPS/ATP-induced ASM activation and ceramide production. Further analysis showed that the exogenous C2-Cer treated J774A.1 cells induced the overexpression of TXNIP, NLRP3, caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18. Besides, TXNIP siRNA or verapamil inhibited C2-Cer-induced TXNIP overexpression and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.Conclusion: This study demonstrated the involvement of the ASM/Cer/TXNIP signaling pathway in NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticle

In the early 1990s the discovery of the MCM-41 and the M41S family of mesoporous materials had open new era in the chemistry and biology. They have prominent application inbiotechnological, biomedical and heterogeneous catalysts. Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) exhibit unique structural features like as their large surface areas, tunable pore sizes in nanometer and well-defined surface properties. MSN materials which are comprised of a honeycomb-like porous structure with hundreds of empty mesoporous channel that are able to encapsulate relatively large amounts of biomolecules. They are ideal candidate for constructing multifunctional materials that encapsulate a variety of functional nanostructured materials. Multifunctional MSN materials have become one of the most attractive areas in nanobiotechnology and nanomedicine for various disease diagnosis and therapy. Multifunctional MSN have been successfully developed as a multifunctional platform to deliver therapeutic and diagnostic agents. Multifunctional MSNs are a highly promising platform for intracellular controlled release of drugs. In this review we discuss the recent developments in design and fabrication of multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles in as efficient drug delivery applications such as the site-specific delivery and intracellular controlled release of drugs.Abbreviations;APTES; 3-aminopropyl triethoxy sialne, ATP; Adenosine triphospahate, CD; cyclodextrinCPT; camptothecin, CS; Chitosan,CTAB; cyltrimethylammonium bromide,DNA; Deoxyribonucleic acid,DOX; doxorubicin,EDC; 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide,FD; fluorescein disodium,FSP;Fluroscent particle ,IBU;ibuprofen,MCM; mobil composition material, MPS; 3-trimethoxylsilyl propyl methacrylate, MS; mesoporous silica,MSN; mesoporous silica nanoparticle, MSNs; mesoporous silica nanoparticles,MSNP; mesoporous silica nanoparticle,NPS; nanoparticles;PFDTES;perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane, PAA; polyacrylic acid,PR;photo responsive,PMAA; polymethyl methacrylate,SBF; simulated body fluid,TEOS;tetraethyl orthosilicate,TUNA;Thio undecyl-tetraethyleneglycoestero-nitrobenzylethyldimethyl ammonium bromide.
