Pyroptosis: A Common Feature of Immune Cells of Haemodialysis Patients
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.

RAB39a binds caspase-1 and is required for caspase-1-dependent interleukin-1β secretion. [PDF]
Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by unconventional means in a caspase-1-dependent manner. Using a one-step immunoprecipitation approach to isolate endogenous caspase-1 from the monocytic THP1 cell line, we identified previously undescribed binding partners using mass spectrometry.

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis restrains intracellular Chlamydia trachomatis growth in macrophages
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 ...

Trillium tschonoskii Maxim (TTM), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been demonstrated to have a potent anti-tumor effect. Recently, polyphyllin VI (PPVI), a main saponin isolated from TTM, was reported by us to significantly suppress the proliferation ...

YopM Puts Caspase-1 on Ice [PDF]
Caspase-1-mediated detection of pathogens is a potent arm of the innate immune system. LaRock and Cookson (2012) show that the Yersinia type III secretion effector, YopM, directly inhibits caspase-1.

Caspase-1 as a regulatory molecule of lipid metabolism [PDF]
AbstractCaspase-1 is an evolutionarily conserved inflammatory mediated enzyme that cleaves and activates inflammatory cytokines. It can be activated through the assembly of inflammasome and its major effect is to activate the pro-inflammatory cytokines; interleukin 1β (IL-1β) and interluekine-18 (IL-18).

PM2.5‐induced pulmonary inflammation via activating of the NLRP3/caspase‐1 signaling pathway
Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)‐induced pulmonary inflammation has become a public concern in recent years. In which, the activation of the NLRP3/caspase‐1 pathway was closely related to the inflammatory response of various diseases.

Thalidomide Inhibits Activation of Caspase-1 [PDF]
Abstract Thalidomide is an efficient anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic drug, but its therapeutic use is problematic due to a strong teratogenic activity. Nevertheless, thalidomide was approved for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and certain types of cancer, and it is extensively tested for several other indications ...

A Role for Caspase-1 in Heart Failure [PDF]
Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes is increased in heart failure and has been implicated in disease progression. The activation of “proapoptotic” caspases represents a key step in cardiomyocyte apoptosis. In contrast, the role of “proinflammatory” caspases (caspases 1, 4, 5, 11, 12) is unclear. Here, we study the cardiac function of caspase-1.
