Thalidomide Inhibits Activation of Caspase-1 [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2009
Abstract Thalidomide is an efficient anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic drug, but its therapeutic use is problematic due to a strong teratogenic activity. Nevertheless, thalidomide was approved for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases and certain types of cancer, and it is extensively tested for several other indications ...

Immunohistochemical analysis of caspase expression in the brains of individuals with obesity or overweight

Obesity Science & Practice, 2023
Mechanisms underlying the negative effects of obesity on the brain are still unknown. Obesity is associated with oxidative stress in the brain and neuroinflammation that promotes neurodegenerative diseases.

Non-classical ProIL-1beta activation during mammary gland infection is pathogen-dependent but caspase-1 independent [PDF]

, 2014
Infection of the mammary gland with live bacteria elicits a pathogen-specific host inflammatory response. To study these host-pathogen interactions wild type mice, NF-kappaB reporter mice as well as caspase-1 and IL-1beta knockout mice were ...

Metalloporphyrins inactivate caspase-3 and -8 [PDF]

, 2005
Activation of caspases represents one of the earliest biochemical indicators for apoptotic cell death. Therefore, measurement of caspase activity is a widely used and generally accepted method to determine apoptosis in a wide range of in vivo and in ...

A Role for Caspase-1 in Heart Failure [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2007
Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes is increased in heart failure and has been implicated in disease progression. The activation of “proapoptotic” caspases represents a key step in cardiomyocyte apoptosis. In contrast, the role of “proinflammatory” caspases (caspases 1, 4, 5, 11, 12) is unclear. Here, we study the cardiac function of caspase-1.

Pyroptosis: A Common Feature of Immune Cells of Haemodialysis Patients

Toxins, 2021
NLRP-3 inflammasome activation can result in interleukin-1β (IL-1β) release and inflammatory cell death (pyroptosis). Caspase-1 is able to trigger both processes.

Calcium phosphate particles stimulate interleukin-1β release from human vascular smooth muscle cells: A role for spleen tyrosine kinase and exosome release [PDF]

, 2017
Aims: Calcium phosphate (CaP) particle deposits are found in several inflammatory diseases including atherosclerosis and osteoarthritis. CaP, and other forms of crystals and particles, can promote inflammasome formation in macrophages leading to caspase ...

Evolutionary loss of inflammasomes in the Carnivora and implications for the carriage of zoonotic infections

Cell Reports, 2021
Summary: Zoonotic pathogens, such as COVID-19, reside in animal hosts before jumping species to infect humans. The Carnivora, like mink, carry many zoonoses, yet how diversity in host immune genes across species affect pathogen carriage is poorly ...

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis restrains intracellular Chlamydia trachomatis growth in macrophages

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
Pyroptosis, a type of programmed necrosis associated with inflammatory, is a host defense mechanism against microbial infections. Although Chlamydia has been shown to induce pyroptosis, whether pyroptosis directly impacts the growth of Chlamydia has not ...
