Spotlight on pyroptosis: role in pathogenesis and therapeutic potential of ocular diseases
Pyroptosis is a programmed cell death characterized by swift plasma membrane disruption and subsequent release of cellular contents and pro-inflammatory mediators (cytokines), including IL‐1β and IL‐18.

Caspase-11 Protects Against Bacteria That Escape the Vacuole [PDF]
Caspase-11–Dependent Pyroptosis Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes that assemble to initiate immunity to a variety of microorganisms, as well as to sterile tissue injury. Although a role for caspase-1 downstream of inflammasomes is well characterized, the discovery that caspase-1 knockout mice were also deficient in caspase-

Caspase-4 and -5 Biology in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, associated with high levels of inflammatory cytokine production.

Caspase-11 effector functions and models for caspase-11 activation. [PDF]
(A) Caspase-11 effector functions. Active caspase-11 cooperates with components of the NLRP3 inflammasome to induce caspase-1-dependent maturation of pro-IL-1β and pro-IL-18.

Listeria monocytogenesInfection in Caspase-11-Deficient Mice [PDF]
ABSTRACTCaspase-11 (Cas11) is a cysteine protease involved in programmed cell death and cytokine maturation. Through activation of Cas1 (interleukin-1β [IL-1β]-converting enzyme), Cas11 is directly involved in the maturation of IL-1β and IL-18. Apoptosis is mediated through Cas3.

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

Caspase-11-dependent IL-1α release boosts Th17 immunity against Paracoccidioides brasiliensis [PDF]
The granulomatous lesion resulting from infection with the fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is characterized by a compact aggregate of mature cells, surrounded by a fibroblast- and collagen-rich content.
