Tumor clusters with divergent inflammation and human retroelement expression determine the clinical outcome of patients with serous ovarian cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Analysis of treatment‐naïve high‐grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) and control tissues for ERVs, LINE‐1 (L1), inflammation, and immune checkpoints identified five clusters with diverse patient recurrence‐free survivals. An inflammation score was calculated and correlated with retroelement expression, where one novel cluster (Triple‐I) with high ...

NLRP3 and beyond: inflammasomes as central cellular hub and emerging therapeutic target in inflammation and disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
The NLRP3 inflammasome is a key cytosolic sensor in the innate immune system, activated by diverse danger signals such as metabolic stress, infections, and structural cellular disruptions.

Role and Association of Inflammatory and Apoptotic Caspases in Renal Tubulointerstitial Fibrosis

open access: yesKidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2016
Background/Aims: Caspases, an evolutionary conserved family of aspartate-specific cystein proteases, play pivotal roles in apoptotic and inflammatory signaling.

Caspase-1 activates gasdermin A in non-mammals. [PDF]

open access: yesElife, 2023
Gasdermins oligomerize to form pores in the cell membrane, causing regulated lytic cell death called pyroptosis. Mammals encode five gasdermins that can trigger pyroptosis: GSDMA, B, C, D, and E. Caspase and granzyme proteases cleave the linker regions of and activate GSDMB, C, D, and E, but no endogenous activation pathways are yet known for GSDMA ...

Caspase-1 causes truncation and aggregation of the Parkinson’s disease-associated protein α-synuclein

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Significance The aggregation of α-synuclein (aSyn) is a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. Here we show that the enzymatic component of the innate inflammation system, known as caspase-1, hydrolyzes aSyn, rendering it aggregation-prone.

New exit: caspase-1 for secretion [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2008
Acaspase activates secretion of many inflammatory response proteins without signal sequences, say Martin Keller, Hans-Dietmar Beer, and colleagues (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland), revealing a new pathway for secretion.

Cytomegalovirus infection is common in prostate cancer and antiviral therapies inhibit progression in disease models

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Human cytomegalovirus infection is common in normal prostate epithelium, prostate tumor tissue, and prostate cancer cell lines. CMV promotes cell survival, proliferation, and androgen receptor signaling. Anti‐CMV pharmaceutical compounds in clinical use inhibited cell expansion in prostate cancer models in vitro and in vivo, motivating investigation ...

Oligomerized CARD16 promotes caspase‐1 assembly and IL‐1β processing

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2015
Increasing evidence indicates that caspase recruitment domain (CARD)‐mediated caspase‐1 (CASP1) assembly is an essential process for its activation and subsequent interleukin (IL)‐1β release, leading to the initiation of inflammation.

Caspase-1 cleaves PPARγ for potentiating the pro-tumor action of TAMs

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Tumor-associated macrophages are increasingly viewed as a target of great relevance in the tumor microenvironment, because of their important role in cancer progression and metastasis.

Integrative miRNOMe profiling reveals the miR‐195‐5p–CHEK1 axis and its impact on luminal breast cancer outcomes

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In luminal (ER+) breast carcinoma (BC), miRNA profiling identified miR‐195‐5p as a key regulator of proliferation that targets CHEK1, CDC25A, and CCNE1. High CHEK1 expression correlates with worse relapse‐free survival after chemotherapy, especially in patients with luminal A subtype.
