Also, the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were stimulated by S100A8, which had an analogous effect to the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment (XREF_FIG C-E).

The S100A8 knockdown using shRNA revealed that COX-2 and PGE 2 expression was regulated by S100A8, which suggested that the intracellular increase of microglial S100A8 levels upregulated COX-2 expression and PGE2 secretion, contributing to neuronal death under hypoxic conditions.

In agreement with previous reports, the results of this study confirmed that S100A8 significantly increased the production of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta.

In agreement with previous reports, the results of this study confirmed that S100A8 significantly increased the production of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta.

These results strongly suggested that S100A8 induced the NLRP3 inflammasome priming via NF-kappaB activation.

The results suggested that S100A8, secreted by neuronal cells under hypoxic conditions, triggered the priming of NLRP3 in microglial cells, through the TLR4 and NF-kappaB signaling.

In addition, the translocation of NF-kB, which played a pivotal role in regulating the expression and activation of NLRP3, was also increased when cells were treated with S100A8.

These results suggested that S100A8, secreted by neuronal cells under hypoxic conditions, combined with TLR4 of microglia cells, activated the NLRP3 inflammasome priming.

In agreement with previous reports, the results of this study confirmed that S100A8 significantly increased the production of IL-6, TNF-alpha, and IL-1beta.

The coherent molecular mechanisms underlying the NO related inhibition of IDO remain unknown.

The antioxidant properties of IDO were proven, so the inhibiting of IDO by NO may restrict the antioxidant properties and induce increased free radicals.

In vivo studies indicate that NO can inhibit IDO catalytic activity by directly interacting [XREF_BIBR] or by stimulating IDO degradation through the proteasome pathway [XREF_BIBR].

Cells expressing IDO can co-express iNOS in response to IFN-gamma, which produces NO that inhibits, in turn, IDO.

Previous studies have suggested nitric oxide (NO) can inhibit IDO activity and expression [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR] most likely through post-translational regulation leading to proteasomal degradation of IDO rather than transcriptional regulation [XREF_BIBR].

Previous studies have suggested nitric oxide (NO) can inhibit IDO activity and expression [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR] most likely through post-translational regulation leading to proteasomal degradation of IDO rather than transcriptional regulation [XREF_BIBR].

For example, nitric oxide (NO) production may block IDO enzyme activity since NO inhibits the activity of heme containing enzymes such as IDO (Thomas et al., 2001).

For example, nitric oxide (NO) production may block IDO enzyme activity since NO inhibits the activity of heme containing enzymes such as IDO (Thomas et al., 2001).

In sharp contrast to macrophages, murine microglial cell clones immortalized with the activated c-myc oncogene have been reported to be resistant to NO inhibition of IDO.

In conclusion, results of the present series of experiments indicate that IDO in primary murine microglia costimulated with IFNgamma + LPS is not impaired by the production of NO, as is known to occur in murine macrophages.

Conversely, induction of NO by activation of iNOS down-regulates IDO activity in cell types as diverse as human uroepithelial transformed cells, murine bone marrow derived myeloid dendritic cells, human transformed and primary macrophages and mouse peritoneal cells.

As a result of this crosstalk, NO is well known to inhibit IDO activity in many types of cells.

In addition, direct binding of NO to heme iron in IDO, which is one of the mechanisms by which NO inhibits IDO at the post-translational level, is dependent on a number of cellular factors, including NO abundance, pH, redox environment and tryptophan availability.

NO inhibition of IDO is apparently specific to both certain species and cell types.

In macrophages, the inhibition of IDO by NO occurs at both the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.

Previous studies have reported that NO is able to inhibit the activity of IDO by reacting with the heme iron situated in its active site.

NO inhibits IDO at the transcriptional level and accelerates the decomposition of IDO protein, thereby affecting its stability.

Therefore, simultaneous induction of nitric oxide, respiratory burst and tryptophan degradation responses would antagonize PKC and thus NADPH oxidase activation and the IDO enzyme.

Several findings have demonstrated that NO is able to inhibit the IDO enzyme by direct interaction or accelerating proteasomal degradation [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR].

Although not yet examined in the context of exercise, nitric oxide has been shown to inhibit IDO activity.

33 Thus, a strong rationale suggests that exercise induced changes in nitric oxide may mediate an inhibition of IDO activity, possibly leading to a chronic downregulation and stabilization of the KYN pathway as reported by Zimmer et al. 23 The mechanisms underlying both acute and chronic exercise induced elevations in the metabolic flux towards KA could be driven by KAT expression in different tissues or cell types.

XREF_BIBR Nitric oxide, interleukin-4, peroxynitrite and transforming growth factor beta inhibit IDO-1 but it is unclear whether these also inhibit IDO-2.

XREF_BIBR 3-HAA also inhibits nitric oxide synthetase (although not in microglial cells) and nuclear factor kappaB expression; XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR of which the former could result in positive feedback and upregulation of IDO activity, which is inhibited by nitric oxide, as well as neuronal dysfunction through impairment of nitric oxide 's neurotransmitter function.

We suggest the opposite results in NLRP3 mediated cell proliferation due to different IL-1beta levels (XREF_TABLE).

Despite the major downstream event of NLRP3 inflammation formation of caspase-1 mediated pyroptosis, NLRP3 seems to mediate the dual-function of apoptosis and survival.

Inhibition of NLRP3 suppresses the proliferation, migration and invasion, and promotes apoptosis in glioma cells, while in contrast, increased expression of NLRP3 significantly enhances the proliferation, migration and invasion as well as attenuating apoptosis in glioma cells (XREF_TABLE).

found that NLRP3 overexpression inhibits cell proliferation and stimulates apoptosis in leukemic cells.

NLRP3 in the primary lesion of cancer cells drives the production of pro-IL-1beta, DC maturation, and the secretion of IL-1beta to support the evolution of tumor specific CD8 + T cells.

In the primary lesion of cancer cells, NLRP3 drives the production of pro-IL-1beta, DC maturation, and the secretion of IL-1beta to support the differentiation of tumor specific CD8 + T cells.

NLRP3 inflammasomes mediate both suppressions of apoptosis and progression of the cell cycle by leptin dependent ROS production in breast cancer, which is mediated via estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)/reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase signaling.

Moreover, NLRP3 downstream, IL-1beta, also stimulates the production of ROS that, in turn, induces DNA damage and cancer development in CRC (XREF_TABLE).

Although caspase-1 activation is the major downstream event of NLRP3 inflammasome assembly, recent studies have reported that NLRP3 inflammasome could also be activated by caspase-8.

ATP, one of the major cancer metabolites and constituents of the TME, serves as a key DAMP that activates NLRP3 inflammasome via the purinergic P2X7 receptors.

Among the known human chemokines, a co-regulated set of four (chemokine (C-C motif) ligand (CCL)-4, CCL-5, chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand (CXCL)-9, CXCL-10) chemokines is upregulated in primary PDA carcinoma and PDA liver metastasis, which regulates CD8 + T cell infiltration, activates T cells, and promotes NLRP3 mediated T cell priming and enhances anti-tumor CD8 + T cell cytotoxic activity for an effective immune checkpoint therapy response.
