Pharmacological Inhibition of Gasdermin D Suppresses Angiotensin II-Induced Experimental Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2023
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

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal, 2018
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]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
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.

Cigarette smoke-induced gasdermin D activation in bronchoalveolar macrophages and bronchial epithelial cells dependently on NLRP3

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Chronic pulmonary inflammation and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are major health issues largely due to air pollution and cigarette smoke (CS) exposure.

Viral sensing by epithelial cells involves PKR- and caspase-3-dependent generation of gasdermin E pores [PDF]

open access: yesiScience, 2023
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]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
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]

open access: yesBMC Infectious Diseases
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
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 ...

Evolutionary analyses of the gasdermin family suggest conserved roles in infection response despite loss of pore-forming functionality

open access: yesBMC Biology, 2022
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

open access: yesBiomedical Journal, 2017
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
