Caspase subgraph
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
Using the herbizide, N,N0-dimethyl-4,40-bipyridinium dichloride (paraquat) as a mitochondrial toxin, which is known to induce oxidative stress, Chen et al. found increased levels of caspase-1 and IL-1b in brain of wild type and APP/PS1 transgenic mice (2), suggesting that those were due to NLRP3 inflammasome activation PubMed:28019679

Recently, Kaushal et al. described the involvement of NLRP1 inflammasome activation in neurons. In these experiments, serum deprivation induced NLRP1-dependent caspase-1 activity and ASC speck formation, which resulted in caspase-6 activation and an increase in the Ab42/total Ab ratio (11) PubMed:28019679
