NALP3 (NAcht, Leucine-rich repeat and PYD domain containing protein 3; also PYPAF1, CIAS1 and CLR1.1) is a cytoplasmic 115-130 kDa member of the NLRP family of molecules. It is selectively expressed, being found in stratified squamous and transitional epithelium, Hassell's corpuscles, neutrophils, dendritic cells and T cells. NALP3 promotes IL-1 beta and IL-18 maturation by activating caspase-1. It does so by forming a NALP3 inflammasome comprised of NALP3, ASC and caspase-1. Bacterial RNA and cell wall peptidoglycan can bind to NALP3, promoting (potentially) ATP binding, NALP3 oligomerization, and caspase activation. Human NALP3 is 1036 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an N-terminal DAPIN domain (aa 1-93), a NACHT domain (aa 220-536), and seven consecutive LRRs (aa 740-991). Alternate splice forms are reported. Either individually, or in combination, there can be deletions of aa 836-892 or 721-777, and a premature truncation after Gly719 that generates a 70 kDa isoform. Over aa 3-223, human NALP3 shares 76% aa identity with mouse NALP3.

Detection of Human NLRP3/NALP3 by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of HEK293 human embryonic kidney cell line either mock transfected, transfected with human NALP1 or transfected with NLRP3/NALP3 and THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line untreated (-) or treated (+) with 20 ng/mL PMA for 72 hours and 1 µg/mL LPS for 24 hours. PVDF Membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human NLRP3/NALP3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6789) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for NLRP3/NALP3 at approximately 115 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 2.NLRP3/NALP3 in THP‑1 Human Cell Line.
NLRP3/NALP3 was detected in immersion fixed THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cells, unstimulated (lower panel) and stimulated (upper panel) with PMA and LPS, using Sheep Anti-Human NLRP3/NALP3 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6789) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL010) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line untreated (-) or treated (+) with PMA and LPS, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for NLRP3/NALP3 at approximately 111 kDa (as indicated) using 50 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human NLRP3/NALP3 (aa 4-223) Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF6789) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.Detection of Human NLRP3/NALP3 by Western Blot
NLRP3s expression in Monocyte by Western blot: NLRP3s protein expression assessed by western blotting in monocyte of individuals with a diagnosis of either severe Alzheimer’s disease (AD), moderate Alzheimer’s disease (MILD) or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and of age- and sex-matched Healthy Controls (HC). The same protein concentration of whole-cells lysates was loaded into the gel, as confirmed by actin. Representative results obtained in un-stimulated or in LPS-primed and A beta 42-stimulated monocytes are presented in the upper panel. Quantitative evaluation (arbitrary unit, AU) of NLRP3s expression obtained comparing band density (normalized to actin) in un-stimulated or in LPS-primed A beta 42-stimulated monocytes is shown in the lower panel. (N = 5, mean ± s.e.m., T test, *p <0.05). (N = 5/group, mean ± S.E.M and statistical significance are shown. *(p <0.05) Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26939933), licensed under a CC-BY license.
