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 ...

The mitochondrial protease HtrA2 restricts the NLRP3 and AIM2 inflammasomes. [PDF]
Activation of the inflammasome pathway is crucial for effective intracellular host defense. The mitochondrial network plays an important role in inflammasome regulation but the mechanisms linking mitochondrial homeostasis to attenuation of inflammasome ...

Triclabendazole Induces Pyroptosis by Activating Caspase-3 to Cleave GSDME in Breast Cancer Cells
Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death, in which gasdermin E (GSDME) plays an important role in cancer cells, which can be induced by activated caspase-3 on apoptotic stimulation.

Gasdermin E dictates inflammatory responses by controlling the mode of neutrophil death. [PDF]
AbstractBoth lytic and apoptotic cell death remove senescent and damaged cells in living organisms. However, they elicit contrasting pro- and anti-inflammatory responses, respectively. The precise cellular mechanism that governs the choice between these two modes of death remains incompletely understood. Here we identify Gasdermin E (GSDME) as a master

NAIP/NLRC4 inflammasome activation in MRP8+ cells is sufficient to cause systemic inflammatory disease. [PDF]
Inflammasomes are cytosolic multiprotein complexes that initiate protective immunity in response to infection, and can also drive auto-inflammatory diseases, but the cell types and signalling pathways that cause these diseases remain poorly understood ...

Induction of Pyroptosis and Its Implications in Cancer Management
Pyroptosis is a gasdermins mediated programmed cell death, which has been widely studied in inflammatory disease models. Recently, there are growing evidences that pyroptosis can be chemically induced in cancer cells without any bacterial or viral ...

Single-cell analysis of pyroptosis dynamics reveals conserved GSDMD-mediated subcellular events that precede plasma membrane rupture [PDF]
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

P2X7 receptor-mediated TG2 externalization: a link to inflammatory arthritis? [PDF]
Transglutaminases have important roles in stabilizing extracellular protein assemblies in tissue repair processes but some reaction products can stimulate immune activation, leading to chronic inflammatory conditions or autoimmunity.

Inflammasomes in Host Defense and Autoimmunity [PDF]
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 ...
