Nobiletin alleviates palmitic acid‑induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in a sirtuin 1‑dependent manner in AML‑12 cells

The NOD‑like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been reported to contribute to palmitic acid (PA)‑induced lipotoxicity. Nobiletin (Nob) is a polymethoxylated flavonoid derived from citrus fruits that has been reported to exert antioxidant and antitumor effects. However, its protective and regulatory mechanisms in PA‑induced lipotoxicity remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the...
