The results showed that 4-benzene-indol derivative could not only suppress the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome both in vitro and alleviate LPS-induced ALI in vivo but also suppress the NLRP3 inflammasome in human myeloid leukemia mononuclear cells (THP-1) cell lines. Here, NLRP3 is linked to myeloid leukemia.
