Silica induces NLRP3 inflammasome activation in human lung epithelial cells

BACKGROUND: In myeloid cells the inflammasome plays a crucial role in innate immune defenses against pathogen- and danger-associated patterns such as crystalline silica. Respirable mineral particles impinge upon the lung epithelium causing irreversible damage, sustained inflammation and silicosis. I...
