Colchicine therapy in acute coronary syndrome patients acts on caspase-1 to suppress NLRP3 inflammasome monocyte activation [PDF]
, 2016 Inflammasome activation, with subsequent release of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18, has recently been implicated in atherosclerosis-associated inflammation. This study aims to assess in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients (

iScience, 2023 Summary: Canonical pyroptosis is type of programmed cell death depending on active caspase-1, and the inflammasome carries out caspase-1 activation. Here, we showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) induced ovarian cancer cell deaths in caspase-1-dependent

Lysophosphatidylcholine activates caspase-1 in microglia via a novel pathway involving two inflammasomes. [PDF]
, 2017 Inflammasomes regulate microglial caspase-1 activation and subsequent neuroinflammatory processes in brain pathology. In the present study, we have identified inflammasomes causing caspase-1 activation following stimulation of microglia with ...

IL-1R and inflammasomes mediate early pulmonary protective mechanisms in respiratory brucella abortus infection [PDF]
, 2016 Brucella spp. infection is frequently acquired through contaminated aerosols. The role of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in the early pulmonary response to respiratory Brucella infection is unknown.

Activation of Caspase-1 in the Nucleus Requires Nuclear Translocation of Pro-caspase-1 Mediated by Its Prodomain [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998 The interleukin-1beta-converting enzyme-like protease precursor, pro-caspase-1, has an N-terminal prodomain that is removed during cleavage activation of the protease. Here we show that tumor necrosis factor treatment of HeLa cells induced apoptosis without detectable proteolytic activation of caspase-1 in the cytosol.

Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
, 2019 For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

Non-classical ProIL-1beta activation during mammary gland infection is pathogen-dependent but caspase-1 independent [PDF]
, 2014 Infection of the mammary gland with live bacteria elicits a pathogen-specific host inflammatory response. To study these host-pathogen interactions wild type mice, NF-kappaB reporter mice as well as caspase-1 and IL-1beta knockout mice were ...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa pilin activates the inflammasome [PDF]
, 2011 IL-1 beta is produced from inactive pro-IL-1 beta by activation of caspase-1 brought about by a multi-subunit protein platform called the inflammasome. Many bacteria can trigger inflammasome activity through flagellin activation of the host protein NLRC4.

Caspase-1 Mediates Resistance in Murine Melioidosis [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2009 ABSTRACT The gram-negative rod Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a potentially fatal disease which is endemic in tropical and subtropical areas. The bacterium multiplies intracellularly within the cytosol, induces the formation of actin tails, and can spread directly from ...

Caspase-1 engagement and TLR-induced c-FLIP expression suppress ASC/caspase-8-dependent apoptosis by inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 [PDF]
, 2017 The caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD)-based inflammasome sensors NLRP1b and NLRC4 induce caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis independent of the inflammasome adaptor ASC.
