Pro-inflammatory inflammasomes. Four NLRs, two DNA sensors, and an RLR are currently the most well-known inflammasomes that promote inflammation by resulting in the release of inflammatory mediators. Receptors lacking the CARD domain are dependent on the adaptor protein ASC for their interaction with pro-caspase 1, which becomes activated by autocleavage into 20 and 10 kDa subunits by the complex assembly
