Background: Gasdermin D, a molecule downstream of the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family pyrin domain containing inflammasome, forms the membrane pore for the secretion of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, and also mediates ...

Mechanism of membrane pore formation by human gasdermin-D
Gasdermin-D (GSDMD), a member of the gasdermin protein family, mediates pyroptosis in human and murine cells. Cleaved by inflammatory caspases, GSDMD inserts its N-terminal domain (GSDMD; Nterm; ) into cellular membranes and assembles large oligomeric ...

Indirect regulation of HMGB1 release by gasdermin D [PDF]
HMGB1 is an inflammatory mediator released by a variety of cell types. Here, the authors show that unlike IL-1β, HMGB1 is released non-specifically following cell lysis.

Viral sensing by epithelial cells involves PKR- and caspase-3-dependent generation of gasdermin E pores [PDF]
Summary: Viral sensing in myeloid cells involves inflammasome activation leading to gasdermin pore formation, cytokine release, and cell death. However, less is known about viral sensing in barrier epithelial cells, which are critical to the innate ...

Caspase-1 initiates apoptosis in the absence of gasdermin D [PDF]
In inflammasomes, caspase-1 activation leads to pyroptosis mediated by gasdermin D, but cells lacking gasdermin-D still initiate caspase-dependent cell death. Here, Tsuchiya et al. show that these cells undergo Bid- and caspase-3-dependent apoptosis.

Investigation of the effect of serum gasdermin d levels on clinical course and mortality in patients with covid-19 [PDF]
Background Cytokine storm is among the pathogenetic mechanisms in patients with severe Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pyroptosis, a form of programmed cell death, is thought to play an important role in cytokine storms.

Gasdermin D-mediated pyroptosis: mechanisms, diseases, and inhibitors
Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis and downstream inflammation are important self-protection mechanisms against stimuli and infections. Hosts can defend against intracellular bacterial infections by inducing cell pyroptosis, which triggers the ...

Background Gasdermins are ancient (>500million-years-ago) proteins, constituting a family of pore-forming proteins that allow the release of intracellular content including proinflammatory cytokines.

Gasdermin: A new player to the inflammasome game
Pyroptosis is a lytic type of programmed cell death that was traditionally associated with the involvement of inflammatory caspases, such as caspase-1. These inflammatory caspases are activated within multi-protein complexes called inflammasomes that are
