Haplotypes of the Caspase-1 Gene, Plasma Caspase-1 Levels, and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation Research, 2006
Caspase-1 processes the interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 inactive precursors to the biologically active cytokines that are known to have proatherogenic effects. The present study investigated the genetic variability of the CASP1 gene and plasma levels of caspase-1 in relation to cardiovascular risk. In Europeans, 3 tag

Endosomal trafficking of two-pore K+ efflux channel TWIK2 to plasmalemma mediates NLRP3 inflammasome activation and inflammatory injury

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Potassium efflux via the two-pore K+ channel TWIK2 is a requisite step for the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, however, it remains unclear how K+ efflux is activated in response to select cues.

PM2.5‐induced pulmonary inflammation via activating of the NLRP3/caspase‐1 signaling pathway

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, 2020
Particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5)‐induced pulmonary inflammation has become a public concern in recent years. In which, the activation of the NLRP3/caspase‐1 pathway was closely related to the inflammatory response of various diseases.

Inflammasome, the Constitutive Heterochromatin Machinery, and Replication of an Oncogenic Herpesvirus

open access: yesViruses, 2021
The success of long-term host–virus partnerships is predicated on the ability of the host to limit the destructive potential of the virus and the virus’s skill in manipulating its host to persist undetected yet replicate efficiently when needed.

Caspase-1 interdomain linker cleavage is required for pyroptosis

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2020
The related human NLRP1 and CARD8 form ASC-dependent and ASC-independent inflammasomes, respectively, both of which require pro-caspase-1 interdomain linker processing for the induction of pyroptosis. Pathogen-related signals induce a number of cytosolic

RAB39a binds caspase-1 and is required for caspase-1-dependent interleukin-1β secretion. [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2009
Interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine that is secreted by unconventional means in a caspase-1-dependent manner. Using a one-step immunoprecipitation approach to isolate endogenous caspase-1 from the monocytic THP1 cell line, we identified previously undescribed binding partners using mass spectrometry.

Liver Ischemia Reperfusion Injury, Enhanced by Trained Immunity, Is Attenuated in Caspase 1/Caspase 11 Double Gene Knockout Mice

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) during liver transplantation increases morbidity and contributes to allograft dysfunction. There are no therapeutic strategies to mitigate IRI.

Caspase-1 activation of caspase-6 in human apoptotic neurons [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Differentiation, 2005
Active caspase-6 (Csp-6) induces cell death in primary cultures of human neurons and is abundant in the neuropathological lesions of Alzheimer's disease. However, the mode of Csp-6 activation is not known. Here, we show that the Csp-1 inhibitor, Z-YVAD-fmk specifically prevents activation of Csp-6 and cell death in human neurons.

Caspase-1 cleaves Bid to release mitochondrial SMAC and drive secondary necrosis in the absence of GSDMD

open access: yesLife Science Alliance, 2020
Caspase-1 activation in GSDMD-deficient cells induces a rapid form of caspase-3–dependent secondary necrosis that is licenced by caspase-1–induced Bid cleavage and the release of mitochondrial SMAC.

Caspase-8 Potentiates Triglyceride (TG)-Induced Cell Death of THP-1 Macrophages via a Positive Feedback Loop

open access: yesKorean Journal of Clinical Laboratory Science, 2021
Hypertriglyceridemia is the main risk factor for atherosclerosis. It is reported that triglyceride (TG) induces macrophage cell death, and is involved in the formation of plaques and development of atherosclerosis.
