New insights into the noncanonical inflammasome point to caspase-4 as a druggable target. [PDF]
Recent studies indicate that the human lipopolysaccharide sensor caspase-4, unlike its mouse homologue caspase-11, is constitutively expressed and activates pro-IL-18 as well as gasdermin D-mediated pyroptosis. Activation of human caspase-4 causes vascular leakage systemically and at the blood-brain barrier in mice and is implicated in the pathogenesis

Caspase-3 content in SNU-1 cells.
Increase in intracellular Caspase-3 compared to blank (untreated) SNU-1 cells upon treatment with 50–5000 nm sized aminated, carboxylated and NF particles for 4 h. Data compared with respect to surface functionalization (A) or particle size (B). All data

Function and Regulation of Noncanonical Caspase-4/5/11 Inflammasome [PDF]
Abstract Inflammasomes are multiprotein complexes of the innate immune system that orchestrate development of inflammation by activating the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-18. The LPS of Gram-negative bacteria have been shown to activate a novel, noncanonical inflammasome by directly binding in the cytosol to human ...

Caspase-4 regulates cell death in STM-infected PMN-HIOs.
A. Representative fluorescence microscopy images of TUNEL staining of PMN-HIO frozen histology sections. HIOs were microinjected with STM and co-cultured with PMNs in the presence of inhibitors for Caspase-4 (z-LEVD) (20 μM), or DMSO control.

Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involves IL-1 but is independent of NLRP3/ASC inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1 [PDF]
IL-1b and IL-18 are proinflammatory cytokines that contribute to renal immune complex disease, but whether IL-1b and IL-18 are mediators of intrinsic glomerular inflammation is unknown.

Caspase-8 is upstream of caspase-1 in the death pathway of Ripk1D325A/D325A mice at E10.5.
(A and B) IF staining of E10.5 YS with anti-PECAM (red) and anti-Cl.CASP1 (green) antibodies. Scale bars, 50 μm. Images are representative of 4 embryos per genotype.

NF-κB regulates caspase-4 expression and sensitizes neuroblastoma cells to Fas-induced apoptosis. [PDF]
Found in neurons and neuroblastoma cells, Fas-induced apoptosis and accompanied activation of NF-κB signaling were thought to be associated with neurodegenerative diseases. However, the detailed functions of NF-κB activation in Fas killing and the effect

Caspase-mediated Specific Cleavage of Human Histone Deacetylase 4 [PDF]
Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) is a class II HDAC implicated in controlling gene expression important for diverse cellular functions, but little is known about how its expression and stability are regulated. We report here that this deacetylase is unusually unstable, with a half-life of less than 8 h.
