| 1 | Here we show that chronic ethanol treatment increases the co-localization of caspase-1 with GFAP(+) cells, and up-regulates IL-1beta and IL-18 in the frontal medial cortex in WT, but not in TLR4 knockout mice. | Ethanol | interleukin 1 beta | Mus musculus |
| 2 | Ethanol, as ATP and LPS treatments, up-regulates NLRP3 expression, and causes caspase-1 cleavage and the release of IL-1beta and IL-18 in astrocytes supernatant. | Ethanol | interleukin 1 beta | Mus musculus |
| 3 | Ethanol-induced NLRP3/caspase-1 activation is mediated by mitochondrial (m) reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation because when using a specific mitochondria ROS scavenger, the mito-TEMPO (500 muM) or NLRP3 blocking peptide (4 mug/ml) or a specific caspase-1 inhibitor, Z-YVAD-FMK (10 muM), abrogates mROS release and reduces the up-regulation of IL-1beta and IL-18 induced by ethanol or LPS or ATP. | Ethanol | interleukin 1 beta | Mus musculus |
