Gasdermin D‐Mediated Pyroptosis Exerts Two Opposite Effects of Resisting Enzymatic Digestion and Expanding Inflammatory Response in Acute Pancreatitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Gasdermin D (GSDMD) does not only reduce pancreatic enzyme synthesis but also induces pancreatic acinar cells to express mucin 1 (MUC1), which forms a barrier to prevent digestive enzyme‐mediated digestion. However, GSDMD can promote the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by macrophages and aggravate pancreatic histological injury by expanding ...
