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

Caspase-8 Potentiates Triglyceride (TG)-Induced Cell Death of THP-1 Macrophages via a Positive Feedback Loop

Korean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2021
Hypertriglyceridemia is the main risk factor for atherosclerosis. It is reported that triglyceride (TG) induces macrophage cell death, and is involved in the formation of plaques and development of atherosclerosis.

Expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, GDF-9 and IGF-1 genes in ovine oocytes cultured with optimum and elevated doses of Amphiregulin, Neuregulin-1 and Tumour necrosis factor-α in-vitro

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022
The present study was conducted to evaluate the expression of caspase-3, caspase-9, growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) and insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) genes in oocytes cultured in vitro with optimum and elevated doses of amphiregulin (50 ng and

RAB39a binds caspase-1 and is required for caspase-1-dependent interleukin-1β secretion. [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
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.

Specific NLRP3 Inflammasome Assembling and Regulation in Neutrophils: Relevance in Inflammatory and Infectious Diseases

Cells, 2022
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a cytosolic multimeric protein platform that leads to the activation of the protease zymogen, caspase-1 (CASP1). Inflammasome activation mediates the proteolytic activation of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and IL-18) and ...

An Apoptotic Caspase Network Safeguards Cell Death Induction in Pyroptotic Macrophages

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Pyroptosis has emerged as a key mechanism by which inflammasomes promote host defense against microbial pathogens and sterile inflammation. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated cell lysis is a hallmark of pyroptosis, but our understanding of cell death ...

A Role for Caspase-1 in Heart Failure [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2007
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.

Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involves IL-1 but is independent of NLRP3/ASC inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 [PDF]

, 2011
IL-1b and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1b and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown.

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)

Thalidomide Inhibits Activation of Caspase-1 [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2009
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 ...
