Cocaine 36-43 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 0-5 33417223-3 2021 Based on the premise that cocaine induces both reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as microglial activation, we hypothesized that cocaine-mediated microglial activation involves both ROS and NLRP3 signaling pathways. Cocaine 26-33 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 193-198 33417223-3 2021 Based on the premise that cocaine induces both reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as microglial activation, we hypothesized that cocaine-mediated microglial activation involves both ROS and NLRP3 signaling pathways. Cocaine 132-139 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 193-198 33417223-5 2021 We found that microglia exposed to cocaine exhibited significant induction of NLRP3 and mature IL-1beta expression. Cocaine 35-42 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 78-83 33417223-6 2021 Intriguingly, blockade of ROS (Tempol) attenuated cocaine-mediated priming of NLRP3 and microglial activation (CD11b). Cocaine 50-57 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 78-83 33417223-7 2021 Blockade of NLRP3 by both pharmacological (MCC950) as well as gene silencing (siNLRP3) approaches underpinned the critical role of NLRP3 in cocaine-mediated activation of inflammasome and microglial activation. Cocaine 140-147 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 12-17 33417223-7 2021 Blockade of NLRP3 by both pharmacological (MCC950) as well as gene silencing (siNLRP3) approaches underpinned the critical role of NLRP3 in cocaine-mediated activation of inflammasome and microglial activation. Cocaine 140-147 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 80-85 33417223-9 2021 Furthermore, cortical brain tissues of chronic cocaine-dependent humans also exhibited upregulated expression of the NLRP3 pathway mediators compared with non-cocaine dependent controls. Cocaine 47-54 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 117-122 33417223-9 2021 Furthermore, cortical brain tissues of chronic cocaine-dependent humans also exhibited upregulated expression of the NLRP3 pathway mediators compared with non-cocaine dependent controls. Cocaine 159-166 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 117-122 33417223-10 2021 Collectively, these findings suggest that cocaine activates microglia involving the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, thereby contributing to neuroinflammation. Cocaine 42-49 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 84-89 33417223-11 2021 NLRP3 can thus be considered as a potential therapeutic target for alleviating cocaine-mediated neuroinflammation. Cocaine 79-86 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 0-5 27321752-2 2016 In human inflammasome PCR array, among different involved in inflammasome formation, in HIV infected macrophages in the presence of cocaine, we have observed significant upregulation of NLRP3, AIM2 genes and downstream genes IL-1beta and PTGS2. Cocaine 132-139 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 186-191 27321752-8 2016 These results indicate that in case of HIV infected macrophages exposed to cocaine, increased ROS production and IL-1beta transcription serve as an activators for the formation of NLRP3 and AIM2 mediated inflammasomes that leads to caspase 1 mediated apoptosis. Cocaine 75-82 NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 Homo sapiens 180-185
