Abstract
Inflammasome is a molecular platform that mediates the activation of caspases, maturation of interleukin-1 (IL-1) family members, and leads to inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis. It is vital for innate immune responses, providing protection against infectious agents, sterile environmental insults, and host cell damages. Aberrant activation of inflammasome is closely correlated with numerous hereditary and acquired inflammatory disorders. Therefore, a better understanding of how inflammasome is regulated may provide more promising therapeutics for controlling inflammasome-associated diseases. In recent years, it becomes apparent that autophagy, a cellular machinery essential for the recycling of intracellular components and maintenance of cellular homeostasis, acts as a key player in the activation and regulation of inflammasome, and ameliorates symptoms of inflammasome-related diseases. This review will discuss the recent insights into inflammasome activation and regulation mediated by autophagy.
