Fracture healing is delayed in the absence of gasdermin-interleukin-1 signaling [PDF]
Amino-terminal fragments from proteolytically cleaved gasdermins (GSDMs) form plasma membrane pores that enable the secretion of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18.

Activation of GSDME by Lithospermum erythrorhizon drives pyroptotic cell death
Objective: To reveal GSDME-executed pyroptosis in cancer cells induced by the Chinese traditional herbal medicine plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon (L. erythrorhizon, Zi Cao) and to investigate the potential mechanism. Methods: L. erythrorhizon was extracted by ultrasonication in 95% ethanol, and determined using high-performance liquid chromatography ...

Pharmacological activation of STAT1-GSDME pyroptotic circuitry reinforces epigenetic immunotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma [PDF]
Background: Genomic screening uncovered interferon-gamma (IFNγ) pathway defects in tumours refractory to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). However, its non-mutational regulation and reversibility for therapeutic development remain less understood ...

NLRP3 Selectively Drives IL-1β Secretion by Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infected Neutrophils and Regulates Corneal Disease Severity [PDF]
Macrophages infected with Gram-negative bacteria expressing Type III secretion system (T3SS) activate the NLRC4 inflammasome, resulting in Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-dependent, but GSDME independent IL-1β secretion and pyroptosis.

BIX‐01294 enhanced chemotherapy effect in gastric cancer by inducing GSDME‐mediated pyroptosis [PDF]
AbstractAdjuvant chemotherapy in combination with surgery is expected to be a curative strategy for gastric cancer. However, drug resistance remains an obstacle in effective chemotherapy. Therefore, understanding the potential mechanisms of chemotherapy induced gastric cancer cell death is of great importance.

Pyroptosis in Neutrophils: Multimodal Integration of Inflammasome and Regulated Cell Death Signaling Pathways [PDF]
Pyroptosis is a proinflammatory mode of lytic cell death mediated by accumulation of plasma membrane (PM) macropores composed of gasdermin-family (GSDM) proteins.

Genetic Diagnosis and Discovery Enabled by Large Language Models
We demonstrate that large language models (LLMs) can facilitate genetic diagnosis and discovery. LLMs were used to solve four types of genetic problems of sequentially increased complexity. An LLM‐based pipeline could analyze genetic variants in the genomic sequences of human hearing loss or rare genetic disease patients and assist in identifying ...

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

PAF Triggered Pyroptotic NETosis Aggravates Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury
Platelet activating factor (PAF) secreted by cardiomyocytes during MI/R, drives NETs formation and subsequent NETosis. PAF/NETosis signaling activation is an initiative and causal factor in driving MI/R injury. This study identifies dapagliflozin as a potent NETosis inhibitor, and demonstrates that manipulating PAF‐NETosis signal by dapagliflozin or ...

ZBTB21 is a transcription factor that epigenetically suppresses pyroptosis and MHC‐I antigen presentation, enabling tumor immune evasion. Genetic ablation of ZBTB21 activates pyroptotic cell death and enhances antigen presentation, recruiting CD8+ T cells to overcome immune checkpoint blockade resistance.
