Regulatory Cues in Pulmonary Fibrosis—With Emphasis on the AIM2 Inflammasome
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic lung disorder characterized by the presence of scarred and thickened lung tissues. Although the Food and Drug Administration approved two antifibrotic drugs, pirfenidone, and nintedanib, that are currently utilized for treating idiopathic PF (IPF), the clinical therapeutic efficacy remains unsatisfactory.

Caspase-1 engagement and TLR-induced c-FLIP expression suppress ASC/caspase-8-dependent apoptosis by inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 [PDF]
The caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD)-based inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 induce caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis independent of the inflammasome adaptor ASC.

ABSTRACT Background Asthma exacerbations caused by human rhinovirus (hRV) infection are characterized by airway neutrophilia and reduced corticosteroid response, leading to significant healthcare costs and lung function impairment. The Gαs subunit of the trimeric G protein regulates immunopathological conditions by modulating cAMP levels.

Biological agents known as anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) drugs are frequently utilized in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, we analyzed the shared processes of pyroptosis in Ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease ...

Inflammation-induced DNA damage and damage-induced inflammation: a vicious cycle [PDF]
Inflammation is the ultimate response to the constant challenges of the immune system by microbes, irritants or injury. The inflammatory cascade initiates with the recognition of microorganism-derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and ...

Neomycin induces increased expression of Xaf1 in cochlear HCs, triggering PANoptosis, which encompasses pyroptosis, apoptosis and necroptosis (left). Targeted Xaf1 knockdown in HCs through gene therapy can significantly inhibit the occurrence of PANoptosis in HCs (right).

Autophagy in PE: Dispute, Role and Potential Target
Autophagy homeostasis serves as a central hub regulating vascular remodelling during pregnancy. It integrates maternal, genetic, and fetal factors; shapes the functions of immune cells (NK cells, macrophages, and T cells); restrains endothelial inflammatory responses (cytokines, endothelial cell, oxidative/ER stress, and protein aggregation); and ...

Pyroptotic Neuronal Cell Death Mediated by the AIM2 Inflammasome [PDF]
The central nervous system (CNS) is an active participant in the innate immune response to infection and injury. In these studies, we show embryonic cortical neurons express a functional, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-responsive, absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) inflammasome that activates caspase-1.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng extract (RGE) has been reported to act as an inflammasome modulator. Ginsenosides, saponin molecules of RGE, selectively inhibit activation of NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes, while non-saponin molecules of RGE upregulate ...
