NLRP3 and arthritic joint disease: For example, NLRP3 and AIM-2 are both upregulated in the synovium of IL-10-deficient mice exposed to antigen-induced arthritis, and osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow cells isolated from these mutant mice is blunted by the inhibitors of NLRP3 and AIM-2 inflammasomes [120].
