Caspase-4 and -5 Biology in the Pathogenesis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract, associated with high levels of inflammatory cytokine production.

Caspase-4 dimerisation and D289 auto-processing elicit an interleukin-1β-converting enzyme [PDF]

Life Science Alliance, 2023
The noncanonical inflammasome generates p32/p9 and p34/p9 active caspase-4 species via dimerisation and autocleavage; both species cleave GSDMD to induce pyroptosis, whereas p34/p9 matures IL-1β.

Cardiolipin inhibits the non-canonical inflammasome by preventing LPS binding to caspase-4/11 [PDF]

The EMBO Journal
Caspase-4 and caspase-11 (CASP4/11) sense bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Currently available inhibitors of CASP4/11 also block the activity of caspase-1 (CASP1), which restricts their usefulness in the study of CASP4/11 functions, as well as their ...

Differential targeting of human pyroptotic caspase-5 and caspase-4 by Shigella OspC2 and OspC3 [PDF]

mBio
Pyroptosis is an inflammatory cell death pathway that is a key defense mechanism of intestinal epithelial cells. To successfully establish an infection, intracytosolic gram-negative pathogens must block this host response.

The Role of Caspase-1 and Caspase-4 in Modulating Gingival Epithelial Cell Responses to Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Infection [PDF]

Pathogens
Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by bacterial infection and immune dysregulation. Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) is a key pathogen linked to disease progression.

Porphyromonas gingivalis-Lipopolysaccharide Induced Caspase-4 Dependent Noncanonical Inflammasome Activation Drives Alzheimer’s Disease Pathologies [PDF]

Cells
Chronic periodontitis, driven by the keystone pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, has been increasingly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and AD-related dementias (ADRDs). However, the mechanisms through which P. gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-

The non-canonical inflammasome activators Caspase-4 and Caspase-5 are differentially regulated during immunosuppression-associated organ damage [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
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.

The role of caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 in regulating the host cell response evoked by uropathogenic Escherichia coli [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The inflammasome-associated proteins caspase-1, caspase-4 and NLRP3 have been emphasised to be essential in the host cell response during urinary tract infection (UTI) by regulating IL-1β release.

DNA hypomethylation promotes the expression of CASPASE-4 which exacerbates inflammation and amyloid-β deposition in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the sixth leading cause of death in the USA. It is established that neuroinflammation contributes to the synaptic loss, neuronal death, and symptomatic decline of AD patients. Accumulating evidence suggests a critical role for

Caspase-4 Has Potential Utility as a Colorectal Tissue Biomarker for Dysplasia and Early-Stage Cancer [PDF]

Gastro Hep Advances
Background and Aims: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most deadly cancer globally. The rapidly rising incidence rate of CRC, coupled with increased diagnoses in individuals
