Gasdermins: pore-forming activities and beyond [PDF]
Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica, 2020 Gasdermins (GSDMs) belong to a protein superfamily that is found only in vertebrates and consists of GSDMA, GSDMB, GSDMC, GSDMD, DFNA5 (a.k.a. GSDME) and DFNB59 (a.k.a. Pejvakin (PJVK)) in humans. Except for DFNB59, all members of the GSDM superfamily contain a conserved two-domain structure (N-terminal and C-terminal domains) and share an ...

GSDMD membrane pore formation constitutes the mechanism of pyroptotic cell death [PDF]
, 2016 Pyroptosis is a lytic type of cell death that is initiated by inflammatory caspases. These caspases are activated within multi-protein inflammasome complexes that assemble in response to pathogens and endogenous danger signals.

Molecular and structural aspects of gasdermin family pores and insights into gasdermin-elicited programmed cell death [PDF]
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2021 Pyroptosis is a highly inflammatory and lytic type of programmed cell death (PCD) commenced by inflammasomes, which sense perturbations in the cytosolic environment. Recently, several ground-breaking studies have linked a family of pore-forming proteins known as gasdermins (GSDMs) to pyroptosis.

The role of pyroptosis and its crosstalk with immune therapy in breast cancer
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Pyroptosis is a brand-new category of programmed cell death (PCD) that is brought on by multitudinous inflammasomes, which can recognize several stimuli to pilot the cleavage of and activate inflammatory cytokines like IL-18 and IL-1β is believed to have

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.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

‘Hints’ in the killer protein gasdermin D: unveiling the secrets of gasdermins driving cell death [PDF]
Cell Death & Differentiation, 2017 Pyroptosis is a lytic form of cell death distinguished from apoptosis, ferroptosis, necrosis, necroptosis, NETosis, oncosis, pyronecrosis and autophagy. Proinflammatory caspases cleave a gasdermin D (GSDMD) protein to generate a 31 kDa N-terminal domain.

Pyroptosis: A Newly Discovered Therapeutic Target for Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
Biomolecules, 2022 Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, uncommon among patients suffering from myocardial infarction, stroke, or acute kidney injury, can result in cell death and organ dysfunction.

Single-cell analysis of pyroptosis dynamics reveals conserved GSDMD-mediated subcellular events that precede plasma membrane rupture [PDF]
, 2019 Pyroptosis is rapidly emerging as a mechanism of anti-microbial host defense, and of extracellular release of the inflammasome-dependent cytokines interleukin (IL)-1 beta and IL-18, which contributes to autoinflammatory pathology. Caspases 1, 4, 5 and 11
