Background Information
Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) is a sensor of cytosolic DNA that is responsible for activation of the inflammasome and host immune responses to DNA viruses and intracellular bacteria (PMID:22695634). Upon binding to DNA, it is thought to undergo oligomerization and to associate with PYCARD initiating the recruitment of caspase-1 precusrsor and processing of interleukin-1 beta and interleukin-18. Otherwise, it functions as a tumor suppressor which may act by repressing NF-kappa-B transcriptional activity (PMID:16432157,20566831). It has been reported that AIM2 protein levels are significantly elevated in alveolar macrophages of patients with IPF and bleomycin-treated mice (PMID: 38078661). AIM2 inflammasome was also significantly activated, which was also confirmed in Aβ-treated microglial cells (PMID: 34861878)
