Caspase-1 inflammasomes in infection and inflammation [PDF]
AbstractNucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain-like receptors (NLRs) constitute a family of germline-encoded pattern-recognition receptors, which allow the host to respond rapidly to a wide variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Here, we discuss recent advances in the study of a subset of NLRs, which control the activation of caspase-1 through ...

TNF-α Induces Caspase-1 Activation Independently of Simultaneously Induced NLRP3 in 3T3-L1 Cells [PDF]
The intracellular cysteine protease caspase-1 is critically involved in obesity-induced inflammation in adipose tissue. A substantial body of evidence from immune cells, such as macrophages, has shown that caspase-1 activation depends largely on a ...

Caspase-1 activation with concomitant degradation of cullin-1/5.
(A)THP-1 macrophages were incubated with Eh (10:1 ratio) for increasing time (5 to 30 min) and or /with the pan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk (100μM) and caspase-1 specific inhibitor Z-YVAD-fmk (100μM) for 1 h followed by stimulation with Eh (10:1 ratio ...

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‐induced pyroptotic cell death [PDF]
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,

Regulation of caspase-3 processing by cIAP2 controls the switch between pro-inflammatory activation and cell death in microglia. [PDF]
The activation of microglia, resident immune cells of the central nervous system, and inflammation-mediated neurotoxicity are typical features of neurodegenerative diseases, for example, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. An unexpected role of caspase-

Regulation and Function of the Caspase-1 in an Inflammatory Microenvironment [PDF]
The inflammasome is a complex of proteins that has a critical role in mounting an inflammatory response in reply to a harmful stimulus that compromises the homeostatic state of the tissue. The NLRP3 inflammasome, which is found in a wound-like environment, is comprised of three components: the NLRP3, the adaptor protein ASC and caspase-1. Interestingly,

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

Caspase‐1 is not involved in experimental hepatitis in mouse [PDF]
Experimental hepatitis induced by tumor necrosis factor in d‐(+)‐galactosamine‐sensitized mice or by an agonistic anti‐Fas antibody in normal mice is accompanied by dramatic apoptosis of hepatocytes. Apoptosis is the final result of activation of a cascade of caspases.
