Abstract

In recent years, cell pyroptosis has made it widely concerned. Pyroptosis is characterized by the activation of pathways leading to the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and its downstream effector, such as interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, which has close relationship with inflammation. Recent evidence supports that CoenzymeQ10 (CoQ10) reduces related inflammatory factors (NLRP3, IL-1β and IL-18), which are associated with cell pyroptosis. This paper reviews the possible mechanisms of CoQ10 inhibiting pyroptosis of different cells and its possible mechanism. Further research is needed to better define the response effects of CoQ10 on specific aspects of cell pyroptosis (such as priming, promotion, and signaling), and to further investigate the organizational and cellular mechanisms by which CoQ10 reduces pyroptosis in different cells.

Keywords: Coenzyme; NLRP3; Q10; inflammasome; mechanism; pyroptosis.
