The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain–like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a group of multi-protein complex that mediates immune responses through the production of biologically active IL-1β and IL-18. Dysregulation of NLRP3 inflammasome has been linked to various diseases associated with infection, inflammation, and cancer. However, the molecular mechanisms of ligand binding that result in the formation of the NLRP3 inflammasome are not fully understood. Potential therapeutics for NLRP3 inflammasomes related diseases are relatively nonspecific, have low efficacy, and may cause unexpected side effects. Therefore, this study aimed to understand if BABAM1 can serve as a potential target for treating NLRP3 inflammasome related diseases. This was done by attempting to knock out BABAM1 gene in THP-1 monocyte-like cell line using the CRISPR-Cas9 gene-editing technology. The cDNA prepared from THP-1 cells in which an attempt was made to knock out BABAM1 gene were amplified using qPCR. The result showed no biologically relevant difference in BABAM1 gene expression level between the target and control THP-1 cells. Additionally, this study found that the expression of the reference gene, ACTB, was not stable as the cycle threshold values for untransfected cells were lower when compared to cells transfected the plasmid DNA. In conclusion, successful attempts were made in this study to understand the role of BABAM1 in regulating the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome and that further research are needed if BABAM1 is to be considered as a potential target for treating NLRP3 inflammasome related diseases.
