The role of IAV induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in AECOPD. Invasion of IAV promotes the NLRP3 inflammasome activation in bronchial epithelial cell, which contribute to increase secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and triggers acute exacerbation of COPD; whereas MCC950 therapy reverse the progression
