1.1 Introduction
Theaimofmedicineandclinicalresearchistounderstandthebiologicalprocesses
of health and thedevelopment of tools for the treatmentand diagnosis of diseases.
Thus,weneedabalancebetweenbasicandclinicalresearchinatranslationalform.
Differentexamplesofthisarethedevelopmentofdrugsanddiagnosticmethodsfor
theidentificationofmolecularpathwaysandtargetsinvolvedinthepathophysiology
ofthediseases.
Fordecades,inflammationhasbeenthefocusofresearchers’attentionbecauseof
itsdirectandindirectparticipationinthepathophysiologyofmanydiseases.Froman
immunity viewpoint, after an infection, microorganisms are initially sensed by
pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) of the innate immune system. These PRRs
areexpressedinvariousimmunecellssuchasmacrophages,dendriticcells,epithe-
lialcells,neutrophils,andadaptiveimmunecells.TheToll-likereceptors(TLRs),a
particular type of PRRs, are expressed on the cell membrane surface and can be
activated by different external signals with a pathogen profile known as pathogen-
associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). The PRRs can also be triggered during
sterile inflammatory diseases, in the absence of microbes, by different damaging
profiles,suggestingthecrucialroleofdangersignalsthatarehost-derived,andthat
areknownasdanger-associatedmolecularpatterns(DAMPs).PAMPsandDAMPs
can also trespass on the plasma membrane and trigger intracellular innate immune
receptorsdirectly,forexample,viarecognitionofDNAorRNAinthecytoplasm.In
thelossofhomeostasisconditions,somecytosolicinnateimmunesensorscanalso
be indirectly activated. Among these sensors are included NOD-like receptors or
nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) that possess a
pyrin domain (PYD) or caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD) in
their N-terminal regions, which have partial homology in man and mouse
(Fig.1.1a)andwhichhavespecificligands(Fig.1.1b).Ofthese,theNLRP3isthe
best described, which are composed of a carboxy-terminal LRR domain, a central
NACHT and NAD domain (NBD), and an amino-terminal PYD (Fig. 1.2a)
(Lamkanfi and Dixit 2014), with a similar structure between humans and the
mouse, both the most studied species with regard to inflammasomes (Fig. 1.2b).
Afteranassemblystimulus,NLRisassociatedwiththeadaptermoleculeapoptosis-
associatedspeck-likeproteinthatcontainsaCARDdomain(ASD)intheN-terminal
regions, and the effector protein caspase-1 (Fig. 1.3a), and forms the named
inflammasome complex (Lamkanfi and Dixit 2014). These inflammasome com-
plexes regulate the activation of caspase-1, which in turn regulates the cleavage of
cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). The NLRP3
