Title
Recent insights in Pyrin inflammasome activation : identifying potential novel therapeutic approaches in Pyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndromes
Author
Abstract
Pyrin is a cytosolic protein encoded by the MEFV gene, predominantly expressed in innate immune cells. Upon activation, it forms an inflammasome, a multimolecular complex that enables the activation and secretion of IL-1 beta and IL-18. In addition, the Pyrin inflammasome activates Gasdermin D leading to pyroptosis, a highly pro-inflammatory cell death. Four autoinflammatory syndromes are associated with Pyrin inflammasome dysregulation: familial Mediterranean fever, hyper IgD syndrome/mevalonate kinase deficiency, pyrin-associated autoinflammation with neutrophilic dermatosis, and pyogenic arthritis, pyoderma gangrenosum, and acne syndrome. In this review, we discuss recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating the two-step model of Pyrin inflammasome activation. Based on these insights, we discuss current pharmacological options and identify a series of existing molecules with therapeutic potential for the treatment of pyrin-associated autoinflammatory syndromes.
