As described above, upregulation of some components of the NLRP3 inflammasome, including increase of the NLRP3 protein, caspase 1 activity, and IL1β gene expression, is observed in rd10 retinas on postnatal Day 23 [28], and in other murine and canine models of RP (see Section 2). This evidence concerns the gene NLRP3 and retinitis pigmentosa 1.
