Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 Inflammatory cell death, or pyroptosis, is triggered by pathogenic infections or events. It is executed by caspase-1 (in the canonical pyroptosis pathway) or caspase-11 (noncanonical pathway), each via production of a cell-lytic domain from the ...

The Activity of Caspase-1 Is Increased in Lesional Psoriatic Epidermis [PDF]
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2007 Caspase-1 belongs to the group of inflammatory caspases and is the activating enzyme for the proinflammatory cytokine IL-18, a cytokine known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the expression of caspase-1 in psoriatic skin and the signaling mechanisms involved in stress-induced ...

Cyclic nucleotide signaling as a drug target in retinitis pigmentosa
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Disruptions in cGMP and cAMP signaling can contribute to retinal dysfunction and photoreceptor loss in retinitis pigmentosa. This perspective examines the mechanisms and evaluates emerging evidence on targeting these pathways as a potential therapeutic strategy to slow or prevent retinal degeneration.

Neutrophil Caspase-11 Is Essential to Defend against a Cytosol-Invasive Bacterium
Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Either caspase-1 or caspase-11 can cleave gasdermin D to cause pyroptosis, eliminating intracellular replication niches. We previously showed that macrophages detect Burkholderia thailandensis via NLRC4, triggering the release of interleukin (IL)

Abnormal expression of miR-3653-3p, caspase 1, IL-1β in peripheral blood of schizophrenia
BMC Psychiatry, 2023 Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a chronic, highly relapsing, severe mental disorder with an unclear etiology. Cytokine-mediated neuroimmune abnormalities have been repeatedly revealed. IL-1β was reported to play a vital role in expanding the inflammatory response.

, 2018 Canonical inflammasomes are cytosolic supramolecular complexes that activate caspase-1 upon sensing extrinsic microbial invasions and intrinsic sterile stress signals. During inflammasome assembly, adaptor proteins ASC and NLRC4 recruit caspase-1 through

PLoS Pathogens, 2018 Infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei or B. thailandensis triggers activation of the NLRP3 and NLRC4 inflammasomes leading to release of IL-1β and IL-18 and death of infected macrophages by pyroptosis, respectively.

Caspase-1 Builds a New Barrier to Infection [PDF]
Cell, 2006 Caspase-1 promotes both the maturation of proinflammatory cytokines and apoptosis in cells infected by certain pathogens. Work by now reveals a surprising new function for caspase-1: the stimulation of membrane biogenesis to repair damage caused by bacterial pore-forming toxins. Thus, caspase-1 may promote host cell survival as a means of resistance to

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.TOMM20 increases cancer aggressiveness by maintaining a reduced state with increased NADH and NADPH levels, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and apoptosis resistance while reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Conversely, CRISPR‐Cas9 knockdown of TOMM20 alters these cancer‐aggressive traits.

The mitochondrial protease HtrA2 restricts the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes. [PDF]
, 2018 Activation of the inflammasome pathway is crucial for effective intracellular host defense. The mitochondrial network plays an important role in inflammasome regulation but the mechanisms linking mitochondrial homeostasis to attenuation of inflammasome ...
