1 Previous studies suggested that NLRP3 inflammasome activity is negatively regulated by autophagy and positively regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from an uncharacterized organelle. Reactive Oxygen Species NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
2 Previous studies suggested that NLRP3 inflammasome activity is negatively regulated by autophagy and positively regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) derived from an uncharacterized organelle. Reactive Oxygen Species NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
3 Here we show that mitophagy/autophagy blockade leads to the accumulation of damaged, ROS-generating mitochondria, and this in turn activates the NLRP3 inflammasome. Reactive Oxygen Species NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
