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.

Gasdermins deliver a deadly punch to cancer [PDF]

open access: yesCell Research, 2020
The pore-forming gasdermin proteins mediate a lytic and proinflammatory form of cell death called pyroptosis and have been linked to the host defense against infection. Two recent studies published in Nature revealed that induction of pyroptosis in tumor cells promotes anti-tumor activity, highlighting gasdermins as potential new targets in cancer ...

Gasdermins in Apoptosis: New players in an Old Game. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Apoptosis is a form of programmed cell death (PCD) that plays critical physiological roles in removing superfluous or dangerous cell populations that are unneeded or threatening to the health of the host organism.

Zinc‐Containing Bioactive Glass Programs Macrophage Polarization through Extracellular Traps Regulation for Enhanced Diabetic Wound Healing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Zinc‐containing bioactive glass (ZnBG) promotes diabetic wound healing by regulating macrophage extracellular traps (METs). Specifically, ZnBG reduces oxidative stress and inhibits the PAD4 and NLRP3/caspase‐1/GSDMD signaling pathways, thereby suppressing MET formation.

Palmitoylation at a conserved cysteine residue facilitates gasdermin D-mediated pyroptosis and cytokine release [PDF]

open access: yes
Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptotic cell death drives inflammatory cytokine release and downstream immune responses upon inflammasome activation, which play important roles in host defense and inflammatory disorders. Upon activation by proteases, the

CypD Dependent mPTP Opening Is Crucial for Oxidized Mitochondrial DNA Release in Ferroptosis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Ferroptosis is driven by mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) opening, which induces mitochondrial swelling and releases oxidized mitochondrial DNA. The released mtDNA activates cGAS–STING signaling, promotes ferritinophagy, and amplifies ferroptotic cell death. Disruption of mtDNA repair sensitizes tumors to ferroptosis in vivo, revealing

Pyroptosis and its therapeutic potential

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины
The review examines present data on pyroptosis – a type of programmed cell death associated with infection with various pathogens. During pyroptosis. specific molecular complexes, inflammasomes, are formed, caspases are activated, and proinflammatory ...

Not sorcery after all: Roles of multiple charged residues in membrane insertion of gasdermin-A3

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Gasdermins execute programmatory cell death, known as pyroptosis, by forming medium-sized membrane pores. Recently, the molecular structure of those pores as well as the diversity in their shape and size have been revealed by cryoTEM and atomic force ...

Targeting the GPX4–FUNDC1 Interaction with Magnesium Lithospermate B Attenuates Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The diagram depicts the endothelial‐protective mechanism of magnesium lithospermate B (MLB) in sepsis‐associated lung injury. MLB binds GPX4 at Gly79, disrupts its interaction with FUNDC1, prevents mitophagy‐mediated GPX4 degradation, restores mitophagic flux, reduces ROS, and limits ferroptosis.
