Recently, it has been found that abnormal activation of inflammasomes, the intracellular multiprotein complexes, plays an important role in the pathogenesis and the development of inflammatory diseases. To determine whether the NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is involved in chronic inflammatory condition reported in glomerulonephritic- hemodialysis (HD) patients, we investigated the mRNA levels of NLRP3 , CASP-1, ASC, IL-1β, IL-18, NLRC4 , and P2X7 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected from 28 glomerulonephritic-HD patients...
