摘要：

Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) is a member of the leucine-rich repeat-containing protein (NLR) canonical inflammasome family. It regulates the pathophysiology of cancer by facilitating immune responses and apoptotic proteins. Furthermore, it has been observed that chemotherapy activates NLRP3 in human malignancies. The secretion of IL-1 8 and IL-22 to promote cancer spread may be triggered by NLRP3 activation. Furthermore, earlier studies have exhibited that NLRP3 may cause medication resistance when used in cancer treatments given that cell viability may be regulated by NLRP3 depletion. Additionally, clinical studies have demonstrated correlation between NLRP3 expression, lymphogenesis, and cancer metastasis. Various NLRP3 agonists may cause the EMT process, stimulate IL-1 8 and Wnt/ 8catenin signaling, and alter miRNA function in drug-resistant cells. This review seeks to clarify the possibility involvement of NLRP3-related pathways in the control of cancer cells' resistance to widely used treatment approaches, such as chemotherapy. In the end, an improved perception of the corresponding mechanisms behind NLRP3' s tumor-supporting activities will help NLRP3-based treatments advance in the future. (c) 2025 Elsevier Inc.
