Innate immune perturbations, accumulating DAMPs and inflammasome dysregulation: A ticking time bomb in ageing
چکیده انگلیسی


• Many functions of innate immune cells decline during ageing.
• Certain DAMPs and pro-inflammatory mediators increase during ageing.
• Ageing is linked to dysregulated inflammasome responses.
• Controlling inflammasome activation may limit age-related pathologies.

Ageing has pronounced effects on the immune system, including on innate immune cells. Whilst most studies suggest that total numbers of different innate immune cell populations do not change dramatically during ageing, many of their functions such as phagocytosis, antigen presentation and inflammatory molecule secretion decline. In contrast, many endogenous damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) accumulate during ageing. These include reactive oxygen species (ROS) released from damaged mitochondria, extracellular nucleotides like ATP, high mobility group box (HMGB) 1 protein, oxidized low density lipoprotein, amyloid-beta (Aβ), islet amyloid polypeptide and particulates like monosodium urate (MSU) crystals and cholesterol crystals. Some of these DAMPs trigger the activation of inflammasomes, cytosolic danger sensing signalling platforms that drive both the maturation of specific pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, as well as the initiation of pro-inflammatory pyroptotic cell death. Herein, we review the evidence that dysregulated inflammasome activation, via altered innate immune cell functions and elevated levels of DAMPs, contributes to the establishment of chronic, low-grade inflammation (characterized by elevated levels of IL-6 and C-reactive protein) and the development of age-related pathological processes.
