Importantly, CeeNU showed remarkable protective effects in multiple mouse models of NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated diseases, including experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock, monosodium urate (MSU)-induced peritonitis, and MSU-induced gouty arthritis. The gene discussed is NLRP3; the disease is experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis.
