Pharmacological Effects and Mechanisms of Chinese Medicines Modulating NLRP3 Inflammasomes in Ischemic Cardio/Cerebral Vascular Disease.
Cardio/cerebral-vascular diseases seriously threaten human health and are the leading cause of death. As such, there is great interest in identifying a potential mechanism that controls the development process of cardio/cerebral vascular diseases. Present studies demonstrate that inflammasomes play an important role in the process of ischemic cardio/cerebral vascular diseases (ICCVDs). Among the pathological process of ICCVDs, inflammasomes activated the sterile inflammatory response that accelerated the development of diseases and aggravated the acute lesion of tissue. As the most thoroughly studied inflammasome, the NLRP3 inflammasome has been proven to be a potential therapeutic target for ICCVDs. In this review, we summarized the mechanisms of Chinese herbal medicine which can affect ICCVDs via the regulation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Our study discovers that active compounds of Chinese medicines have a negative effect on NLRP3 in different ICCVDs models. Astragaloside IV may influence the receptor of the cell membrane to inhibit NLRP3 activation. Resveratrol, colchicinesis, salvianolic acid B, chrysophanol and sulforaphane may directly damage the formation of NLRP3 by inhibiting ASC or Caspase-1. Most of the active natural compounds can negatively regulate the downstream products of NLRP3 inflammasome such as IL-18 and IL1 β . In addition, Chinese medicines such as sinomenine, ruscogenin, resveratrol, arctigenin and cepharanthineas may downregulate NLRP3 inflammasome by inducing autophagy activation. Due to the advantages of multi-target effects, Chinese herbal medicine can be treated as a splendid therapy for ICCVDs by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome.
