The study published in Diabetes demonstrates that AIM2 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation leads to development of atherosclerotic lesions in diabetic mice.

Key Points: 
  • The study published in Diabetes demonstrates that AIM2 and NLRP3 inflammasome activation leads to development of atherosclerotic lesions in diabetic mice.
  • ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100, which inhibits multiple inflammasome pathways (including NLRP3 and AIM2) to attenuate initiation and perpetuation of damaging inflammation that is pathogenic in numerous diseases.
  • In the paper titled, “Hematopoietic NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes promote diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis, but increased necrosis is independent of pyroptosis,” the authors studied mouse models of type 1 diabetes and atherosclerosis.
  • Results are consistent with other animal model studies showing deficiencies in essential inflammasome components, such as NLRP3, AIM2, ASC, and caspase-1, appear to protect against atherosclerosis.
