Role of Pyroptosis in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): From Gasdermins to DAMPs
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022 Pyroptosis is a pro-inflammatory cell death executed by gasdermin family proteins that involve the formation of pores on cells, recognition of danger signals, and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18.

ASC filament formation serves as a signal amplification mechanism for inflammasomes [PDF]
, 2016 A hallmark of inflammasome activation is the ASC speck, a micrometre-sized structure formed by the inflammasome adaptor protein ASC (apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD), which consists of a pyrin domain (PYD) and a caspase ...

Cleavage of DFNA5 by caspase-3 during apoptosis mediates progression to secondary necrotic/pyroptotic cell death. [PDF]
, 2017 Apoptosis is a genetically regulated cell suicide programme mediated by activation of the effector caspases 3, 6 and 7. If apoptotic cells are not scavenged, they progress to a lytic and inflammatory phase called secondary necrosis.

Role of Pyroptosis in Acetaminophen-Induced Hepatotoxicity
Livers, 2022 Acetaminophen (APAP) is a widely used pain reliever that can cause liver injury or liver failure in response to an overdose. Understanding the mechanisms of APAP-induced cell death is critical for identifying new therapeutic targets.

FDA-approved disulfiram inhibits pyroptosis by blocking gasdermin D pore formation
Nature Immunology, 2020 Cytosolic sensing of pathogens and damage by myeloid and barrier epithelial cells assembles large complexes called inflammasomes, which activate inflammatory caspases to process cytokines (IL-1β) and gasdermin D (GSDMD).

Brainiac Caspases: Beyond the Wall of Apoptosis [PDF]
, 2019 For the last two decades, caspases, a family of cysteine-aspartic proteases, have evolved from being considered solely as regulators of apoptosis or inflammation to having a wider range of functions.

Gasdermins assemble; recent developments in bacteriology and pharmacology
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 The discovery of gasdermin D (GSDMD) as the terminal executioner of pyroptosis provided a large piece of the cell death puzzle, whilst simultaneously and firmly putting the gasdermin family into the limelight.

Inflammasomes in neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
, 2019 Neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration often result from the aberrant deposition of aggregated host proteins, including amyloid-beta, alpha-synuclein, and prions, that can activate inflammasomes.

NLRP3 Inflammasome and Pyroptosis in Liver Pathophysiology: The Emerging Relevance of Nrf2 Inducers
Antioxidants, 2022 Inflammasomes, particularly the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome, apparently serve as crucial regulators of the inflammatory response through the activation of Caspase-1 ...

Targeting gasdermin E in neurodegenerative diseases
Cell Reports Medicine, 2023 Neel et al. identified pathophysiologic clues linking gasdermin-E (GSDME) with frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.1 Therapeutic studies targeting GSDME may provide a viable approach for neurodegenerative diseases.
