Abstract
Background: ASC is the common adaptor of caspase-1 activation in several inflammasomes. Results: A novel interaction between PML and ASC is identified. PML-deficient macrophages display enhanced levels of IL-1β secretion and higher levels of ASC in the cytosol. Conclusion: PML retains ASC in the nucleus limiting inflammasome activation. Significance: Understanding the regulation of inflammasome components will aid in the development of therapeutics to alleviate IL-1β-mediated diseases.
