Anti-dsDNA antibodies bind to TLR4 and activate NLRP3 inflammasome in lupus monocytes/macrophages.
2016
Background
NLRP3 inflammasome has been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome results in the production of IL-1β and the subsequent inflammation. Anti-dsDNA antibodies (anti-dsDNA Abs) play critical roles in the development and progression of SLE. However, the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome activation in SLE is still not known. This study investigated the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome stimulated by anti-dsDNA Abs in monocytes/macrophages from SLE patients.
