Long-term Nlrp3 gain-of-function mutation promotes cardiac dysfunction independent of inflammasome in mice
J Immunol. 2026 Oct 1;215(10):vkag257. doi: 10.1093/jimmun/vkag257. ABSTRACT Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS) is an autoinflammatory disease caused by gain-of-function mutations in human nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), which lead to constitutive inflammasome activation and excessive IL-1β secretion. Long-term IL-1 blockade has markedly improved patient outcomes by preventing systemic inflammation and amyloidosis. However, whether … Read more
