1 Melatonin alleviates cigarette smoke-induced endothelial cell pyroptosis through inhibiting ROS/NLRP3 axis. ros NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
2 Additionally, we also observed that N-Acetylcysteine (NAC, a ROS scavenger) pretreatment inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation as evidenced by suppressing the upregulation of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-caspase-1, GSDMD-N, IL-1beta and IL-18 protein levels in CSE-treated ECs. ros NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens

4 In conclusion, our study generated two novel findings, (i) CS activates ROS/NLRP3 axis and induces EC pyroptosis; (ii) melatonin attenuates CS-induced EC pyroptosis by inhibiting ROS/NLRP3 axis. ros NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens
