Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Zoonotic pathogens, such as COVID-19, reside in animal hosts before jumping species to infect humans. The Carnivora, like mink, carry many zoonoses, yet how diversity in host immune genes across species affect pathogen carriage is poorly ...

Increased expression of caspase 1 during active phase of connective tissue disease [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Key factors of pyroptosis play an important role in the inflammatory response to connective tissue disease (CTD). However, information on active and stable stages of CTD is scarce.

Autophagy May Allow a Cell to Forbear Pyroptosis When Confronted With Cytosol-Invasive Bacteria
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Inflammatory caspases detect cytosol-invasive Gram-negative bacteria by monitoring for the presence of LPS in the cytosol. This should provide defense against the cytosol-invasive Burkholderia and Shigella species by lysing the infected cell via ...

Pyroptosis- What We Know and the Road Ahead! [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2022 Pyroptosis, a type of cell death, initiated by proinflammatory signals, is classically associated with inflammation. It was thought to occur mainly in macrophages and leukocytes during inflammatory conditions and involves the activation of caspase 1 ...

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis restrains intracellular Chlamydia trachomatis growth in macrophages
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023 Pyroptosis, a type of programmed necrosis associated with inflammatory, is a host defense mechanism against microbial infections. Although Chlamydia has been shown to induce pyroptosis, whether pyroptosis directly impacts the growth of Chlamydia has not ...

Caspase‐1‐induced pyroptotic cell death [PDF]
Immunological Reviews, 2011 Summary: Programmed cell death is a necessary part of development and tissue homeostasis enabling the removal of unwanted cells. In the setting of infectious disease, cells that have been commandeered by microbial pathogens become detrimental to the host. When macrophages and dendritic cells are compromised in this way, they can be lysed by pyroptosis,

Pyroptosis: A Common Feature of Immune Cells of Haemodialysis Patients
Toxins, 2021 NLRP-3 inflammasome activation can result in interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release and inflammatory cell death (pyroptosis). Caspase-1 is able to trigger both processes.

Haplotypes of the Caspase-1 Gene, Plasma Caspase-1 Levels, and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]
Circulation Research, 2006 Caspase-1 processes the interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 inactive precursors to the biologically active cytokines that are known to have proatherogenic effects. The present study investigated the genetic variability of the CASP1 gene and plasma levels of caspase-1 in relation to cardiovascular risk. In Europeans, 3 tag
