Noncanonical inflammasomes: caspase-11 activation and effector mechanisms. [PDF]
Inflammasomes are cytosolic, multiprotein complexes assembled by members of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) and PYHIN protein families in response to pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) and danger signals, and serve as activation platforms for ...

Roles of the Caspase-11 Non-Canonical Inflammasome in Rheumatic Diseases. [PDF]
Inflammasomes are intracellular multiprotein complexes that activate inflammatory signaling pathways. Inflammasomes comprise two major classes: canonical inflammasomes, which were discovered first and are activated in response to a variety of pathogen ...

Caspase-11 Non-canonical Inflammasomes in the Lung [PDF]
The airway epithelium and underlying innate immune cells comprise the first line of host defense in the lung. They recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) using membrane-bound receptors, as well as cytosolic receptors such as ...

Regulation, Activation and Function of Caspase-11 during Health and Disease. [PDF]
Caspase-11 is a pro-inflammatory enzyme that is stringently regulated during its expression and activation. As caspase-11 is not constitutively expressed in cells, it requires a priming step for its upregulation, which occurs following the stimulation of

Caspase-11 promotes allergic airway inflammation [PDF]
Caspase 11 activation involves transcriptional upregulation and proteolytic cleavage. Here the authors show that prostaglandin E2 prevents caspase-11-mediated pyroptosis, blocking caspase-11 mRNA and protein upregulation in macrophages and in vivo, and ...

Ganglioside GA2-mediated caspase-11 activation drives macrophage pyroptosis aggravating intimal hyperplasia after arterial injury. [PDF]
Intimal hyperplasia (IH) remains a significant clinical problem, causing vascular intervention failure. This study aimed to elucidate whether gangliosides GA2 accumulated in atherosclerotic mouse aortae and plasma promote the development of IH.
