Inflammasomes in Host Defense and Autoimmunity [PDF]
, 2016 Inflammasomes are large multi-protein complexes that control host defense and inflammation during infections with pathogens. Their clinical importance however reaches beyond infectious disease, since dysregulated inflammasome activity has also been ...

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.

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).

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.

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 ...
