Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury induces a sterile inflammatory response, leading to further injury that contributes to the final infarct size. Locally released danger-associated molecular patterns lead to priming and triggering of the NOD-like receptor protein 3 inflammasome and amplification of the inflammatory response and cell death by activation of caspase-1. We review strategies inhibiting priming, triggering, or caspase-1 activity or blockade of the inflammasome-related cytokines interleukin-1β and interleukin-18, focusing on the beneficial effects in experimental models of acute myocardial infarction in animals and the initial results of clinical translational research trials.
