Molecules, 2023 In this study, we aimed to evaluate two sets of sesquiterpene-aryl derivatives linked by an ester bond, their cytotoxic activities, and their capacity to activate caspases 3/7 and inhibit human topoisomerase I (TOP1).

DECAY, a novel Drosophilacaspase related to mammalian caspase-3 and caspase-7. [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Caspases are key effectors of programmed cell death in metazoans. In Drosophila, four caspases have been described so far. Here we describe the identification and characterization of the fifth Drosophila caspase, DECAY. DECAY shares a high degree of homology with the members of the mammalian caspase-3 subfamily, particularly caspase-3 and caspase-7 ...

Nature Communications, 2019 Gasdermin E (GSDME/DFNA5) cleavage by caspase-3 liberates the GSDME-N domain, which mediates pyroptosis by forming pores in the plasma membrane.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Pathogen blockade of TAK1 triggers caspase-8 dependent cleavage of Gasdermin D and cell death
Science, 2018 Caspase-8 is a player in pyroptosis The activation of certain pattern-recognition receptors by pathogen-associated molecular patterns results in the formation of inflammasome complexes.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Cleavage of pro-caspase-1 into caspase-1 by HMPV. [PDF]
, 2019 THP-1 cells were differenciated into macrophages using PMA (100 ng/ml) before treatment with 10 μM of MCC950 or DMSO (control) and then infected or not with HMPV or HMPV ΔSH at a MOI of 0.001.
