NLRP3 and familial dilated cardiomyopathy: After overexpression of PRR, the expression of the pyroptosis related proteins such as Caspase-1, IL-1β, IL-18, and NLRP3 was significantly increased, the phosphorylation level of AMPK was significantly decreased, and the fibrosis level was significantly increased, thus aggravating the cardiac function injury of DCM.
