Porphyromonas gingivalis-Lipopolysaccharide Induced Caspase-4 Dependent Noncanonical Inflammasome Activation Drives Alzheimer’s Disease Pathologies [PDF]
Chronic periodontitis, driven by the keystone pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, has been increasingly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRDs). However, the mechanisms through which P. gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-

The non-canonical inflammasome activators Caspase-4 and Caspase-5 are differentially regulated during immunosuppression-associated organ damage [PDF]
The non-canonical inflammasome, which includes caspase-11 in mice and caspase-4 and caspase-5 in humans, is upregulated during inflammatory processes and activated in response to bacterial infections to carry out pyroptosis.

A Fluorescence-Polarization-Based Lipopolysaccharide–Caspase-4 Interaction Assay for the Development of Inhibitors [PDF]
Recognition of intracellular lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by Caspase-4 (Casp-4) is critical for host defense against Gram-negative pathogens. LPS binds to the N-terminal caspase activation and recruitment domain (CARD) of procaspase-4, leading to auto ...

The role of caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 in regulating the host cell response evoked by uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]
The inflammasome-associated proteins caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 have been emphasised to be essential in the host cell response during urinary tract infection (UTI) by regulating IL-1β release.

Beclin1 controls caspase-4 inflammsome activation and pyroptosis in mouse myocardial reperfusion-induced microvascular injury [PDF]
Background Myocardial reperfusion injury is often accompanied by cell death and inflammatory reactions. Recently, pyroptosis is gradually recognized as pivotal role in cardiovascular disease.

Extracellular Lipopolysaccharide Triggers the Release of Unconjugated Interferon-Stimulated Gene 15 (ISG15) Protein from Macrophages via Type-I Interferon/Caspase-4/Gasdermin-D Pathway [PDF]
Interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15) is an interferon-induced ubiquitin-like protein that plays an important role in antiviral defense and inflammatory responses, primarily through the process of ISGylation, whereby ISG15 is covalently conjugated to ...

The Role of Caspase-1 and Caspase-4 in Modulating Gingival Epithelial Cell Responses to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Infection [PDF]
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by bacterial infection and immune dysregulation. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) is a key pathogen linked to disease progression.

Cardiolipin inhibits the non-canonical inflammasome by preventing LPS binding to caspase-4/11 [PDF]
Caspase-4 and caspase-11 (CASP4/11) sense bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Currently available inhibitors of CASP4/11 also block the activity of caspase-1 (CASP1), which restricts their usefulness in the study of CASP4/11 functions, as well as their ...
