Abstract

Inflammasomes are cytosolic multi-protein complexes that play an important role in the innate immune system, inducing cytokine maturation and pyroptosis. Trained immunity is the induction of memory in innate immune cells by epigenetic reprogramming due to repeated inflammatory stimuli that alter the inflammatory response and increase resistance to infection or disease. Although it is speculated that nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD), leucine-rich repeat (LRR), and the NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasomes respond to various inflammatory stimuli and are associated with trained immunity, the exact relationship is still unclear. This paper aims to introduce data from recent research on the role of inflammasomes in trained immunity through cellular immunometabolic and epigenetic reprogramming. It also suggests a new therapeutic strategy for inflammatory diseases through the complementary regulation of inflammasomes and trained immunity.
