Teleost Gasdermin E Is Cleaved by Caspase 1, 3, and 7 and Induces Pyroptosis [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2019
Abstract Pyroptosis is a newly defined gasdermin (GSDM)-dependent inflammatory type of programmed cell death. Different from mammals, which have a panel of pyroptotic GSDM members (e.g., GSDMA–E), teleosts possess only GSDME. The pyroptotic activity and regulation mechanism of teleost GSDME remain to be elucidated.

A Supramolecular Thermal Switch for Precision Pyroptosis via Host−Guest Recognition and Electrostatic Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A supramolecular pyroptotic thermal switch encapsulates I3− within β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and undergoes CaCO3 mineralization. Upon lysosomal acidification, CaCO3 is degraded, releasing Ca2+ and I3−. Concurrently, BODIPY activation converts I3− into I2, inducing oxidative stress and Ca2+ overload, which together trigger caspase‐3/GSDME‐mediated ...

Caspase-8 activation by cigarette smoke induces pro-inflammatory cell death of human macrophages exposed to lipopolysaccharide

Cell Death and Disease, 2023
Cigarette smoking impairs the lung innate immune response making smokers more susceptible to infections and severe symptoms. Dysregulation of cell death is emerging as a key player in chronic inflammatory conditions.

Synchronized Imaging of Hydrogen Peroxide and Hydroxyl Radical in Pyroptosis and Epilepsy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐responsive fluorescent probe, HH, enables synchronized visualization of H2O2 and •OH through spectrally resolved green and red channels. By tracking redox dynamics in pyroptosis and epilepsy models, HH reveals ROS elevation during seizure‐like pathology and supports evaluation of antioxidant and antiepileptic therapeutic interventions.

Mechanisms of Gasdermin Family Members in Inflammasome Signaling and Cell Death [PDF]

, 2018
The Gasdermin (GSDM) family consists of Gasdermin A (GSDMA), Gasdermin B (GSDMB), Gasdermin C (GSDMC), Gasdermin D (GSDMD), Gasdermin E (GSDME) and Pejvakin (PJVK). GSDMD is activated by inflammasome-associated inflammatory caspases. Cleavage of GSDMD by

Engineering a 660 nm‐Responsive Optogenetic Inducer of Pyroptosis for Precision Cancer Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reports a bioorthogonal pyroptosis inducer, PyroRACS. By using a red‐light‐responsive Cre‐On genetic switch to control the expression of highly cytotoxic GSDMDNT, PyroRACS enables the artificial induction of pyroptosis with precise spatiotemporal control.

Molecular Engineering Boosts Photon‐Activated Immunotherapy for Prostate Cancer Through Concurrent Pyroptosis and cGAS‐STING Pathway Activation

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The engineered DTSe‐based photosensitizer, DZTSe, emerges as an avant‐garde molecular entity, which can distribute to both the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria to concurrently trigger pyroptosis and activate the cGAS‐STING pathway. This dual‐action strategy effectively reprograms the tumor microenvironment, enabling potent eradication of primary ...

Gasdermin D Restrains Type I Interferon Response to Cytosolic DNA by Disrupting Ionic Homeostasis

, 2020
Inflammasome-activated caspase-1 cleaves gasdermin D to unmask its pore-forming activity, the predominant consequence of which is pyroptosis. Here, we report an additional biological role for gasdermin D in limiting cytosolic DNA surveillance.

A High‐Loading Zn Single‐Atom Nanozyme Targets the Zn/HIF‐1α/GLUT1 Axis to Disrupt Glucose Metabolic Reprogramming and Remodel the Tumor Immune Microenvironment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A high‐loading Zn single‐atom nanozyme (ZMG@CS) delivers ML‐SA5 and GOx to lysosomes. ML‐SA5 activates TRPML1 to release endogenous Zn2+, while the nanozyme provides exogenous Zn2+ and GOx‐driven acidification amplifies ROS production. Together, these effects suppress the HIF‐1α/GLUT1 axis, disrupt glucose and redox homeostasis, induce disulfidptosis ...

ALDH Inhibition‐Primed Photocatalysis Disrupts Cancer Stemness Plasticity

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
DE‐Et converts ALDH‐mediated redox buffering into a photoredox vulnerability by coupling ALDH inhibition with red‐light‐driven catalytic NADH oxidation. This enzyme‐coupled photoredox strategy sustains mitochondrial NADH/NAD+ imbalance, induces pyroptotic tumor cell death, suppresses tumor growth in vivo, and promotes systemic antitumor immunity ...
