Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2021 Pyroptosis is the process of inflammatory cell death. The primary function of pyroptosis is to induce strong inflammatory responses that defend the host against microbe infection.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Sepsis is a hyper-heterogeneous syndrome in which the systemic inflammatory response persists throughout the course of the disease and the inflammatory and immune responses are dynamically altered at different pathogenic stages.

Gasdermin pores permeabilize mitochondria to augment caspase-3 activation during apoptosis and inflammasome activation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 Gasdermin E (GSDME/DFNA5) cleavage by caspase-3 liberates the GSDME-N domain, which mediates pyroptosis by forming pores in the plasma membrane.

Pyroptosis, inflammasome, and gasdermins in tumor immunity
Innate Immunity, 2023 The gasdermins (GSDM), a family of pore-forming proteins, consist of gasdermin A (GSDMA), gasdermin B (GSDMB), gasdermin C (GSDMC), gasdermin D (GSDMD), gasdermin E (GSDME) and DFNB59 (Pejvakin (PJVK)) in humans.

Gasdermins: novel mitochondrial pore-forming proteins [PDF]
Molecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019 Gasdermin proteins have been extensively characterized for their ability to form necrotic pores in the plasma membrane, however, their interactions with other organelles have yet to be described.

The Inflammasome Drives GSDMD-Independent Secondary Pyroptosis and IL-1 Release in the Absence of Caspase-1 Protease Activity [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2017 Inflammasomes activate the protease caspase-1, which cleaves interleukin-1β and interleukin-18 to generate the mature cytokines and controls their secretion and a form of inflammatory cell death called pyroptosis.

Gasdermin D and Beyond – Gasdermin-mediated Pyroptosis in Bacterial Infections
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2022 The discovery of pyroptosis and its subsequent implications in infection and immunity has uncovered a new angle of host-defence against pathogen assault. At its most simple, gasdermin-mediated pyroptosis in bacterial infection would be expected to remove pathogens from the relative safety of the cytosol or pathogen containing vacuole/phagosome whilst ...

Post-phagocytosis activation of NLRP3 inflammasome by two novel T6SS effectors
eLife, 2022 The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is used by bacteria to deliver toxic effectors directly into target cells. Most T6SSs mediate antibacterial activities, whereas the potential anti-eukaryotic role of T6SS remains understudied.

Pyroptosis: Role and Mechanisms in Cardiovascular Disease
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common disease that poses a huge threat to human health. Irreversible cardiac damage due to cardiomyocyte death and lack of regenerative capacity under stressful conditions, ultimately leading to impaired cardiac ...
