Résumé

Since its discovery, NLRP3 is almost never separated from its major role in the protein complex it forms with ASC, NEK7 and Caspase 1, the inflammasome. This key component of the innate immune response mediates the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18 involved in immune response to microbial infection and cellular damage. However, NLRP3 has also other functions that do not involve the inflammasome assembly nor the innate immune response. These non-canonical functions have been poorly studied. Nevertheless, NLRP3 is associated with different kind of diseases probably through its inflammasome dependent function as through its inflammasome independent functions.
