An Apoptotic Caspase Network Safeguards Cell Death Induction in Pyroptotic Macrophages

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Pyroptosis has emerged as a key mechanism by which inflammasomes promote host defense against microbial pathogens and sterile inflammation. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated cell lysis is a hallmark of pyroptosis, but our understanding of cell death ...

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

Korean 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.

Apoptotic Volume Decrease (AVD) Is Independent of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Initiator Caspase Activation

Cells, 2012
Persistent cell shrinkage is a major hallmark of apoptotic cell death. The early-phase shrinkage, which starts within 30−120 min after apoptotic stimulation and is called apoptotic volume decrease (AVD), is known to be accomplished by activation of K ...

Study of Caspase 8 Inhibition for the Management of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Molecular Docking and Dynamics Simulation

Molecules, 2020
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia and usually manifests as diminished episodic memory and cognitive functions. Caspases are crucial mediators of neuronal death in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, and caspase 8 is ...

Total extract of Abelmoschus manihot L. alleviates uric acid-induced renal tubular epithelial injury via inhibition of caspase-8/caspase-3/NLRP3/GSDME signaling

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Purpose: The incidence of uric acid (UA)-induced kidney injury is increasing owing to the high incidence of hyperuricemia in recent years. The flower of Abelmoschus manihot (Linneus) Medik is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb widely used in the ...

Association of Polo-Like Kinase 3 and PhosphoT273 Caspase 8 Levels With Disease-Related Outcomes Among Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients Treated With Chemoradiation and Brachytherapy

Frontiers in Oncology, 2019
Introduction: Definitive chemoradiation (CRT) followed by high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) represents state-of-the-art treatment for locally-advanced cervical cancer.

RIPK3 and caspase 8 collaborate to limit herpes simplex encephalitis.

PLoS Pathogens, 2022
Invasion of the brain by herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV1) can lead to the development of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) that is often associated with significant morbidity and mortality regardless of therapeutic intervention.

Monte Carlo Study Elucidates the Type 1/Type 2 Choice in Apoptotic Death Signaling in Healthy and Cancer Cells

Cells, 2013
Apoptotic cell death is coordinated through two distinct (type 1 and type 2) intracellular signaling pathways. How the type 1/type 2 choice is made remains a central problem in the biology of apoptosis and has implications for apoptosis related diseases ...

TNF-α contributes to sarcopenia through caspase-8/caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis

Cell Death Discovery, 2023
Sarcopenia has become a leading cause of disability and mortality in the elderly. It has been reported that programmed cell death (PCD) is associated with the development of sarcopenia that is characterized by reduction of muscle fiber size and number ...

Caspase-8 but not caspase-7 influences inflammasome activation to act in control of Brucella abortus infection

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Programmed cell death (PCD) is an important mechanism of innate immunity against bacterial pathogens. The innate immune PCD pathway involves the molecules caspase-7 and caspase-8, among others.
