Figure 5 Activation of inflammasomes in type 2 diabetes (metabolic stress activates multiprotein complex, inflammasome in β-cells that induce caspase-1 to cleave pro-interleukin-1β (pro-IL-1β) into active IL-1β. β-cell-derived IL-1β promote the release of chemokines and recruitment of macrophages that are activated by human islet amyloid polypeptide, leading to deleterious concentrations of IL-1β.
