A schematic illustration of the role of NLRP3 Inflammasome and its central role in the myocardial I/R injury. Accumulating evidence has illustrated that Luteolin could have a key role in protecting against myocardial I/R injury as opposed to Uric acid that could aggravate this injury through ROS/NLRP3 pyroptosis pathway. It has been reported that Luteolin could protect against myocardial I/R injury through TLR4/NF-kB/NLRP3 inflammasome cascade by downregulating the expressions of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, TLR4, MyD88 and the phosphorylations of IKKα, IKKβ, IκBα, and NF-κB (71).
