Signals
| PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) | derived from microorganisms | Eg) LPS, Pam2,3, bacteria, viral RNA | PAMPs and DAMPs bind to pattern recognition receptors cytoplasmic NOD-like receptors (NLRs); intracellular sensors; and endocytic gene of the receptors (RLR); transmembrane C-type lectin receptors and Stimulus signaling I-AhR cell, NLRP3 cells; NF-κB pathway-modulating signals. Cell types expressing pattern recognition receptors include innate immune cells such as macrophages, monocytes, dendritic cells, and mast cells but also non-immune cells such as epithelial cells and fibroblasts among others. |
| DAMP (Damage-associated molecular patterns) | derived from host cells | Eg) HSP, cytochrome C, HMBG1, a--syn, tau and bb--amyloid |

Figure 1. TLR4 signaling pathways activated in microglia during neuroinflammation. (A) LPS binding to TLR4 triggers sequential activation of caspase-8 and caspase-3 with nuclear translocation of NF-κB and expression of genes involved in inflammatory response. The molecular mechanism triggering activation of caspase-8 is unknown at the moment. LPS can also activate the expression of inflammatory genes by means of (B) the MyD88-dependent pathway or (C) the TIR-domain containing adapter-inducing interferon-γ (TRIF)-dependent pathway with receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) ubiquitination. (D) Although not clearly defined in microglia, under deubiquitinating conditions, RIPK1 can form a ripoptosome-like complex that ultimately leads to necrosome formation and necroptotic cell death with release of DAMPs. (E) TLR4-mediated increase in gene expression of NOD-, LRR- and pyrin domain-containing protein (NLRP3), pro-IL-1β, and pro-IL-18 is the priming stage of inflammasome formation. In the activation stage, the assembly of inflammasome complex activates caspase-1, which allows the maturation of IL-1β and IL-18 and their release through pyroptosis. (F) A noncanonical inflammasome has been also described in microglia that gives rise to caspase-8 activation and IL-1β maturation and release.
Inflammasome
Definition: a multiprotein complex in the microglia plasma,
Function: that function as intracellular sensors of environmental and cellular stress (14-18)
Subtype of inflammasome: here are up to 15 types of inflammasomes (though only eight are well established, each responding to a unique danger signal.
