GSDMD deficiency drives immunopathology in cutaneous leishmaniasis
The Journal of Immunology, 2022Abstract Cutaneous leishmaniasis is a neglected tropical disease that results in severe, chronic lesions that are frequently resistant to parasite-directed therapy. Studies in patients and murine models indicate that NLRP-3 dependent IL-1β release is associated with more severe disease and treatment failure.

Brain endothelial GSDMD activation mediates inflammatory BBB breakdown
NatureThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) protects the central nervous system from infections or harmful substances1; its impairment can lead to or exacerbate various diseases of the central nervous system2-4. However, the mechanisms of BBB disruption during infection and inflammatory conditions5,6 remain poorly defined.

Inflammasome-mediated GSDMD activation facilitates escape of Candida albicans from macrophages [PDF]
AbstractCandida albicansis the most common cause of fungal sepsis. Inhibition of inflammasome activity confers resistance to polymicrobial and LPS-induced sepsis; however, inflammasome signaling appears to protect againstC. albicansinfection, so inflammasome inhibitors are not clinically useful for candidiasis. Here we show disruption of GSDMD, a known

Chopped! Newfound GSDMD cleavage facilitates tolerance to food allergens
Trends in Immunology, 2023In a recent article, He et al. report that, in response to dietary protein antigens, mouse intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) accumulate a newfound 13-kDa N terminus of gasdermin D (GSDMD-N13), cleaved by caspase-3/7. Unlike the pyroptotic 30-kDa fragment, GSDMD-N13 translocates to the nucleus, inducing CIITA and major histocompatibility complex class ...

mTORC1-Dependent and GSDMD-Mediated Pyroptosis in Developmental Sevoflurane Neurotoxicity
Molecular Neurobiology, 2022Developmental sevoflurane exposure leads to neuronal cell death, and subsequent learning and memory cognitive defects. The underlyi\ng mechanism remains to be elucidated. Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated pyroptosis is a form of inflammatory cell death and participates in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases.

GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in retinal vascular inflammatory diseases: a review
International Ophthalmology, 2022Pyroptosis is a newly discovered form of programmed pro-inflammatory cell death. The main signaling pathways include the classical scorch death pathway that depends on NLRP3 inflammatory vesicles and other activation caspase-1 and the non-classical scorch death pathway that depends on caspase-4 /5/11. The substrate of all inflammatory caspases is GSDMD;

Cleavage of GSDMD by inflammatory caspases determines pyroptotic cell death
Nature, 2015Inflammatory caspases (caspase-1, -4, -5 and -11) are critical for innate defences. Caspase-1 is activated by ligands of various canonical inflammasomes, and caspase-4, -5 and -11 directly recognize bacterial lipopolysaccharide, both of which trigger pyroptosis.

PIK3CG Regulates NLRP3/GSDMD-Mediated Pyroptosis in Septic Myocardial Injury
Inflammation, 2023Cardiac insufficiency is a common complication of sepsis with high mortality. Inflammatory programmed cell death (pyroptosis) executed by NLRP3/gasdermin D (GSDMD) is intrinsically correlated with septic myocardial injury. However, it remains unclear whether PIK3CG, a classical target of septic myocardial injury, can affect pyroptosis by regulating ...

SUMOylation regulates GSDMD stability and pyroptosis
International ImmunopharmacologyVarious post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as palmitoylation, acetylation, and ubiquitination, have been shown to regulate pyroptosis. However, the role of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) modification, known as SUMOylation, in regulating GSDMD activity and pyroptosis remains unclear.
