Role of inflammation between pyroptosis and atherosclerosis

doi:10.16098/j.issn.0529-1356.2019.04.024

Abstract

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease is the highest mortality disease in the world’s chronic noninfectious diseases，and atherosclerosis plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease. Inflammation is closely related to the formation of atherosclerosis, and it is widely involved in the process of pyroptosis. The important functional molecules of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing CARD(ASC) and Caspase-1 are involved in the formation of AS. The process of pyroptosis is accompanied by the production and release of interleukin(IL) and other inflammatory mediators, and the inflammatory reaction may in turn promote the development of pyroptosis. Therefore, the three aspects about the role of inflammation in atherosclerosis, pyroptosis, and its function between the two are reviewed in this review.

Key words: Inflammation, Pyroptosis, Atherosclerosis, Signaling pathway, Cardiovascular disease, Human
