NLRP3 Inflammasome: a Novel Insight into Heart Failure

Among numerous cardiovascular diseases, heart failure is a final and fatal stage, and its morbidity, mortality, and rehospitalization rate remain high, which reduces the exercise tolerance of patients and brings great medical burden and economic pressure to the society. Inflammation takes on a major influence in the occurrence, development, and prognosis of heart failure (HF). The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key node in a chronic inflammatory response, which can accelerate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18, leading to the inflammatory response. Therefore, whether it is possible to suppress the downstream factors of NLRP3 inflammasome and its signaling path is expected to provide a new intervention mediator for the therapy of heart failure. This article synopsizes the research progress of NLRP3 inflammasome in heart failure, to provide a reference for clinical treatment. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study explored the downstream factors of NLRP3 inflammasome and its signal pathway. Targeted drug therapy for NLRP3 inflammasome is expected to provide a new intervention target for the treatment of heart failure.
