ER stress associated NLRP3 inflammasome activation in hippocampus of Alzheimer disease

Description

Activation of ER is crucial. This study focuses on ER stress and the TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome in AD neuroinflammation. Increased inflammasome components, along with some proteins (p-Tau, B-amyloid) worsen neuroinflammation in AD patients. The unfolded protein response (UPR) in AD shows elevated BiP and phosphorylated eIF2a, inhibiting translation and inducing CHOP-mediated apoptosis. TXNIP activation by ER stress links neuroinflammation, suggesting protein regulation in the AD hippocampus.
