A gain-of-function NLRP3 3′-UTR polymorphism causes miR-146a-mediated suppression of NLRP3 expression and confers protection against sepsis progression

Abstract Nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing family protein 3 (NLRP3) regulated the maturation of inflammation-related cytokines by forming NLRP3 inflammasome, which plays pivotal roles in sepsis pathogenesis. In this study, we evaluated the genetic association of NLRP...
