Abstract

Inflammation is a host adaptational response to cell injury caused by various exogenous and endogenous stimuli. IL-1β, which is an important proinflammatory cytokine secreted at the site of cellular injury, plays an important role in inflammation. Inflammasome is an intracellular multi-protein complex that mediates caspase-1-dependent processing of IL-1β. In this review, inflammasome function and its dysregulation are discussed in relation to autoinflammatory diseases.
