Selective inhibition of the NLRP3 inflammasome by targeting to promyelocytic leukemia protein in mouse and human

The functional activities of the tumor suppressor promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML) are mostly associated with its nuclear location. In the present study, we discovered an unexpected role of PML in NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In PML-deficient macrophages, the production of IL-1β was strongly
