ab263899 was shown to react with NLRP3 in wild-type THP-1 cells in Western blot with loss of signal observed in a NLRP3 knockout cell line. Wild-type THP-1 and NLRP3 knockout cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST for 1 hr before incubation with ab263899 overnight at 4 °C at a 1/1000 dilution. Blots were incubated with secondary antibodies at 0.2 µg/mL before imaging.

In Western blot, ab263899 was shown to bind specifically to NLRP3. A band was observed at 118 kDa in wild-type THP-1 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in NLRP3 knockout cell line ab280063 (knockout cell lysate ab280122). To generate this image, wild-type and NLRP3 knockout THP-1 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in fluorescent western blot (TBS-based) blocking solution before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216772) at 1/20000 dilution.

Specificity

NLRP3 is related with inflammation and is cell-type dependent. This antibody detects no signal or very weak signal in most non-diseased tissue samples and untreated cell lysates. Stimulation may be required to allow detection of the NLRP3 protein in most samples, as described in the literature (PMID: 29070054, 29434227, and 22569257).

Supplementary information

NLRP3 also known as NALP3 or cryopyrin is a protein important for the inflammatory response. It is a component of the inflammasome which senses pathogenic microorganisms and stress. NLRP3 weighs around 118 kDa and is widely expressed in innate immune cells particularly macrophages and dendritic cells. Researchers often use techniques such as 'NLRP3 WB' (Western blot) and 'NLRP3 immunofluorescence' to study NLRP3 expression and localization.
Biological function summary

NLRP3 is central to the body’s defense mechanism by participating in forming the inflammasome complex which activates caspase-1. This activation leads to the cleavage of pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL-1β and IL-18 into their active forms. NLRP3's function is essential for mounting an effective immune response to infections and damage signals. It senses a range of stimuli including crystalline substances and cellular stress triggering an immune response. Its expression is tightly regulated to prevent excessive inflammation.

Pathways

The NLRP3 inflammasome is key in the innate immune response and inflammation pathways. It links cellular stress signals to inflammation through the activation of caspase-1 which is important for the IL-1 signaling pathway. NLRP3 interacts with other proteins like ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD) to form the inflammasome complex which is a core part of the inflammatory signaling pathways and links innate and adaptive immunity.

NLRP3 has a significant role in inflammatory diseases and is linked to conditions like cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) and gout. Mutations or dysregulation of NLRP3 lead to hyperactivation resulting in autoimmune and autoinflammatory conditions. NLRP3's interaction with IL-1 contributes to the excessive inflammatory response seen in these disorders. Understanding NLRP3's function in these pathways can inform therapeutic approaches targeting chronic inflammatory diseases.

Sensor component of the NLRP3 inflammasome, which mediates inflammasome activation in response to defects in membrane integrity, leading to secretion of inflammatory cytokines IL1B and IL18 and pyroptosis (PubMed : 16407889, PubMed : 18403674, PubMed : 18604214, PubMed : 23582325, PubMed : 25686105, PubMed : 27929086, PubMed : 28656979, PubMed : 28847925, PubMed : 30487600, PubMed : 30612879, PubMed : 31086327, PubMed : 31086329, PubMed : 31189953, PubMed : 33231615, PubMed : 34133077, PubMed : 34341353, PubMed : 34512673, PubMed : 36442502, PubMed : 40450990). In response to pathogens and other damage-associated signals that affect the integrity of membranes, initiates the formation of the inflammasome polymeric complex composed of NLRP3, CASP1 and PYCARD/ASC (PubMed : 16407889, PubMed : 18403674, PubMed : 27432880, PubMed : 28847925, PubMed : 31189953, PubMed : 33231615, PubMed : 34133077, PubMed : 34341353, PubMed : 36142182, PubMed : 36442502). Recruitment of pro-caspase-1 (proCASP1) to the NLRP3 inflammasome promotes caspase-1 (CASP1) activation, which subsequently cleaves and activates inflammatory cytokines IL1B and IL18 and gasdermin-D (GSDMD), promoting cytokine secretion and pyroptosis (PubMed : 23582325, PubMed : 28847925, PubMed : 31189953, PubMed : 33231615, PubMed : 34133077, PubMed : 34341353). Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome is also required for HMGB1 secretion; stimulating inflammatory responses (PubMed : 22801494). Involved in the homeostatic wound healing response to tissue injury, a multistep cascade that guides neutrophil migration to necrotic sites while avoiding collateral damage of healthy tissues. ATP released from necrotic cells triggers activation of NLRP3 inflammasome through P2RX7 signaling leading to neutrophil adhesion to the vascular endothelium close to the injury site (By similarity). Under resting conditions, ADP-bound NLRP3 is autoinhibited (PubMed : 35114687). NLRP3 activation stimuli include extracellular ATP, nigericin, reactive oxygen species, crystals of monosodium urate or cholesterol, amyloid-beta fibers, environmental or industrial particles and nanoparticles, such as asbestos, silica, aluminum salts, cytosolic dsRNA, etc (PubMed : 16407889, PubMed : 18403674, PubMed : 18604214, PubMed : 19414800, PubMed : 23871209). Almost all stimuli trigger intracellular K(+) efflux (By similarity). These stimuli lead to membrane perturbation and activation of NLRP3 (By similarity). Upon activation, NLRP3 is transported to microtubule organizing center (MTOC), where it is unlocked by NEK7, leading to its relocalization to dispersed trans-Golgi network (dTGN) vesicle membranes and formation of an active inflammasome complex (PubMed : 36442502, PubMed : 39173637). Associates with dTGN vesicle membranes by binding to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) (PubMed : 30487600, PubMed : 34554188). Shows ATPase activity (PubMed : 17483456).. Independently of inflammasome activation, regulates the differentiation of T helper 2 (Th2) cells and has a role in Th2 cell-dependent asthma and tumor growth (By similarity). During Th2 differentiation, required for optimal IRF4 binding to IL4 promoter and for IRF4-dependent IL4 transcription (By similarity). Binds to the consensus DNA sequence 5'-GRRGGNRGAG-3' (By similarity). May also participate in the transcription of IL5, IL13, GATA3, CCR3, CCR4 and MAF (By similarity).
