Regulation of the Immune Microenvironment by an NLRP3 Inhibitor Contributes to Attenuation of Acute Right Ventricular Failure in Rats with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Abstract

Selective inhibition of NLRP3 pathway interfered the interaction between hypertrophic cardiomyocytes and macrophages in the initial stage of inflammation and maintained the immune microenvironment balance, eventually contributing to attenuation of LPS-induced acute heart failure in PAH rats.
