PKM2-dependent glycolysis promotes NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasome activation

Inflammation involves a Warburg effect that switches cellular metabolism to glycolysis. Here the authors show this switch drives IL-1β, IL-18 and HMGB1 release from macrophages by activating the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes via protein kinase R phosphorylation, a pathway that can be inhibited to pre...

description Inflammation involves a Warburg effect that switches cellular metabolism to glycolysis. Here the authors show this switch drives IL-1β, IL-18 and HMGB1 release from macrophages by activating the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes via protein kinase R phosphorylation, a pathway that can be inhibited to prevent sepsis in mice.
