mTOR is binding to NLRP3 until a NLRP3-inflammasome stimulus. After activation, mTOR is translocated to the nucleus to inhibit STAT1 and support the NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation. mTOR inhibition with rapamycin reduces mTOR presence in the nucleus and increases STAT1 which represses NLRP3 inhibiting the activation. ABSTRACT The NLRP3 inflammasome has emerged as an … Read more
