NLRP3 deficiency abrogates silica-induced neutrophil infiltration, pulmonary damage and fibrosis

Abstract Background Silicosis is a progressive and often fatal occupational lung disease. The NLRP3 inflammasome is an innate immune sensor that is activated by silica. Accumulating evidence has implicated a role for NLRP3 in silicosis pathogenesis. In this study, we mechanistically elucidated the c...
