Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic, inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, caused by the immunoglobulin E-mediated immune response. The annual incidence rate of AR is on the rise, exerting a significant impact on individuals’ physical and mental wellbeing. The treatment effect in some patients is still not ideal, as the pathogenesis of AR is complex and diverse. Recent studies have shown that NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis is widely involved in the occurrence and development of AR through various pathways. This article reviews the mechanism of pyroptosis and its research progress in the field of AR, and puts forward possible therapeutic targets to offer innovative approaches for its management.
