NLRP3, NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3: Click to Expand ⟱
| Source: |
| Type: |
NLRP3 (NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of inflammation and immune responses.
NLRP3 typically has high expression in cancers, with poor prognosis.
For alzheimer's disease:
-NLRP3 is upregulated in Alzheimer's disease (AD)
-NLRP3 is activated in microglia in response to amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau aggregates.
-Promotes tau hyperphosphorylation and spread via inflammation-driven pathways.

cGAS–STING↑, Several signaling pathways, including the cGAS–STING, STAT-1, and NLRP3 inflammasomes, are involved in chitosan-induced immunomodulation. CS activates the cGAS–STING signaling pathway
STAT1↑, One crucial factor is DDA, as it was observed that 80% DDA CS activated the STAT-1 pathway, whereas 98% DDA did not
NLRP3↑, activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by CS requires the presence of mitochondrial ROS.
*DCells↑, CS has been studied for its potential impact on DC activation, which is a crucial step in initiating the immune response.
*IL10↓, The use of CS also reduced IL-10 production and increased TGF-β1, TNF-α, and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) (p < 0.001) levels.

*TMAO↑, The gut microbiota’s role in metabolizing phytoestrogens suggests that these compounds can modulate the microbial community structure, potentially affecting the production of TMAO from dietary choline and carnitine [5].
*ROS↑, TMAO has the ability to induce oxidative stress in cells by promoting the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS).
*NADPH↑, TMAO has been shown to increase the activity of NADPH oxidase [30], an enzyme that generates ROS as part of its normal function.
*Ca+2↑, TMAO enters platelets and facilitates the release of calcium ions (Ca2+) from intracellular stores.
*AntiAg↓, Calcium serves as a critical secondary messenger in platelet activation, and its elevated levels promote platelet aggregation and thrombus formation
*cognitive↓, TMAO has been linked to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Through an integrated analysis of genetic, epigenetic, pathological, and biochemical data, Xu et al. identified a correlation between gut m
*TJ↓, However, excessive TMAO concentrations disrupt BBB integrity by inhibiting tight junction proteins, including claudin-5 and zonula occludens-1
*CLDN1↓,
*ZO-1↓,
*Inflam↑, TMAO also triggers neuroinflammation by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome,
*NLRP3↑,
*ER Stress↑, TMAO enhances the ER stress response by activating the PERK-eIF2α pathway, which is known to impair synaptic plasticity and neuronal function, processes strongly implicated in AD progression
*cognitive↓, TMAO has been identified as the most predictive biomarker for memory impairment and cognitive decline among 56 microbiota-derived metabolic markers
*Dose↝, use of cooking methods such as boiling or stewing instead of grilling, which can produce higher amounts of TMAO
*eff↑, Studies suggest that Lactobacillus plantarum ZDY04 could help reduce TMAO concentrations and prevent TMAO-induced atherosclerosis in animal models
*other↝, Currently, no medications specifically designed to reduce blood TMAO levels exist
*other↝, a review published in 2025 has highlighted the potential role of statins in lowering TMAO levels independently of their cholesterol-lowering effects
*other↝, scientific evidence suggests that statins selectively inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria, such as Clostridium and Ruminococcus, while promoting beneficial species, such as Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus
