Ochratoxin A induces NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis via activation of ROS modulated by autophagy in vitro

Ochratoxin A (OTA), one of the major food contaminating mycotoxins, has been reported to cause renal fibrosis through pyroptosis, but the detailed mechanism of its nephrotoxicity remains to be further investigated. Autophagy can be seen in the physiological and pathological processes of the body, an...

Ochratoxin A induces NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis via activation of ROS modulated by autophagy in vitro
description Ochratoxin A (OTA), one of the major food contaminating mycotoxins, has been reported to cause renal fibrosis through pyroptosis, but the detailed mechanism of its nephrotoxicity remains to be further investigated. Autophagy can be seen in the physiological and pathological processes of the body, and whether its role is positive or negative has not been fully elucidated.
