The rapid formation and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome is induced by co-stimulation with LPS and nigericin. It requires the LPS-stimulated activation of IKKβ, which exerts its effects independently of de novo gene transcription, protein translation and other protein kinases activated by IKKβ. IKKβ is not required for the nigericin-induced dispersion of the trans-Golgi network (TGN), but to bring NLRP3 in proximity with TGN38. The nigericin-induced dispersion of the Golgi is enhanced by co- ...[more]
