One of the canonical pathways of this innate immune response evoked by Abeta is the activation of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome that became a focus of intense research PubMed:28019679
NLRP3 inflammasome activation results from TLR ligation and concomitant uptake of Ab in models of AD PubMed:28019679
NLRP3 inflammasome formation and subsequent activation of caspase-1 cleavage capacity was instrumental for Abeta-induced nitric oxide production and TNF-a release PubMed:28019679

Further data, showing “neuronal pyroptosis” of Abeta exposed neurons in a NLRP1- dependent and caspase-1-mediated manner may point to a vicious cycle, by which NLRP1 is causing neurodegeneration in response to increased Abeta production (14) PubMed:28019679
