Th17 micro-milieu regulates NLRP1-dependent caspase-5 activity in skin autoinflammation [PDF]
IL-1β is a potent player in cutaneous inflammation and central for the development of a Th17 micro-milieu in autoinflammatory diseases including psoriasis.

Caspase-5: Structure, Pro-Inflammatory Activity and Evolution [PDF]
Caspase-5 is a protease that induces inflammation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of the cell envelope of Gram-negative bacteria. The expression level of the CASP5 gene is very low in the basal state, but strongly increases in the ...

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.

TLR2/caspase-5/Panx1 pathway mediates necrosis-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages during acute kidney injury [PDF]
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by necroinflammation formed by necrotic tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and interstitial inflammation. In necroinflammation, macrophages are key inflammatory cells and can be activated and polarized into ...

Inhibition of circular RNA circ_0138959 alleviates pyroptosis of human gingival fibroblasts via the microRNA-527/caspase-5 axis [PDF]
Circular RNA (circRNA) plays a regulatory role in periodontitis. This study explored whether circ_0138959 affected lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pyroptosis in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs).

SNX10-mediated LPS sensing causes intestinal barrier dysfunction via a caspase-5-dependent signaling cascade. [PDF]
Altered intestinal microbial composition promotes intestinal barrier dysfunction and triggers the initiation and recurrence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Monocytes promote the early host response to infection releasing key pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β. The biologically inactive IL-1β precursor is processed to active form by inflammasomes, multi-protein complexes activating caspase-1.

Growth inhibition of cytosolic Salmonella by caspase-1 and caspase-11 precedes host cell death [PDF]
Sensing bacterial products in the cytosol of mammalian cells by NOD-like receptors leads to the activation of caspase-1 inflammasomes, and the production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-18 and IL-1β.

Inflammasome activation and regulation: toward a better understanding of complex mechanisms
Inflammasomes are cytoplasmic multiprotein complexes comprising a sensor protein, inflammatory caspases, and in some but not all cases an adapter protein connecting the two.

Noncanonical pyroptosis is triggered by Caspase 4/5/11, which cleaves Gasdermin D (GSDMD), leading to cell lysis. While GSDMD has been studied previously in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the role of pyroptosis in SLE pathogenesis remains unclear ...
